PICS
Who wants to place bets on how long Wisnewski can go without getting a fist, stick or puck in the face? Since he's got the cage off, so far it's none.
Game 4 tonight and I am quite excited. Got mah beer, mah chips and I'mma make some salsa. I'm betting on one hell of a show tonight.
Random hockey facts:
-During a game between the Montreal Canadians and Toronto Maple Leafs, in the 1960`s, Jean Beliveau was playing the puck in the Toronto end, when he was tripped up and started sliding head first toward the goalie Johnny Bower and his goal post.
Bower seeing that Beliveau could not stop himself from hitting the post, quickly stuck out his pad to prevent Beliveau from injury.
As the play continued, Beliveau thanked Bower for his act of kindness and shook his hand.
We need more of this.
-Did you know that in 2003-2004 there were 789 hockey fights.
At a rate of two fights every three games, this 2003-04 season, was a rate equal to the previous 7 seasons.
-The original Stanley Cup was just seven inches high. The names of every player from each winning team is engraved on the base of the Cup. The cup and base now stands 35 inches high.
-The first player who accumulate more than 300 penalty minutes in a single season was Philadelphia Flyer Dave Schultz, who had 348 penalty minuted in 1974. The next year, he broke his record with 472 penalty minutes, still the record.
-Hockey pucks are frozen before being used in play, because the RUBBER with which they are made is too bouncy otherwise.
-Legendary goalie Jacques Plante loved to knit!
-There was once a rule saying the team captain had to be on the ice at ALL times. There have been a lot of weird rules, like penalties for kicking with your skate.
-There are only three teams in the league, with a name ending without a ''S'' They are: The Wild, Lightning, and Avalanche
That's that!
