Also Scherbak seems to be fine and was cleared from hospital

Just like with any advanced stat, the data becomes more reflective of a team's performance when analyzed over a period of time. Over a 20-game stretch, for example, the outliers are averaged out to an acceptable degree, which leaves us with a reasonable indication of performance.
All of his goaltender interference penalties I guess?
No idea why he got put on a list, he takes more physical abuse than almost anyone.

Devastated to hear about Pat Quinn.
I'm sure Team Canada, Giants, Canucks, Leafs and Flyer fans are all mourning this Big Man's loss.

RIP last good Leafs coach.
Hantayo.
So in other news tonight begins my journey into the world of hockey.
I go and get my jersey and socks today from the league and also get to meet my team and instructor.
Last week they sent out a reminder email for this meeting and also a package just outlining what would be going down.
Starting December 1 I will be doing once a week for 10 weeks hockey school. Learning all the basics and doing drills and whatever else.
After that is 7 weeks of league play and then after that is a weekend tournament of everyone in my division taking on other divisions in the league.
The only downside to all this is they pick our team names and I am now a member of the Sabres. :T

If you are just learning to skate, I recommend public skating. Plus you can take dates there too.
What did you choose for a stick?

At least you'll get a decent draft pick next year?
I got this bad boy:
Also lucky for me my gym has a rink built into it so I can skate on it for free. I'm planning to take what I learn from skating and practice it there. :3
You will notice your skates will start to get broken in after a few weeks, I recommend getting wax laces to keep your skates tight. They help prevent having to retighten skates mid game/skate.
It takes a while to learn what curve you like for your stick, it took me a couple of years to adjust when I started and I haven't changed since. So don't buy expensive sticks when you start.

Habs news: Bowman and Beaulieu going down to AHL
I forgot we even had Bowman

Man RIP Pat Quinn.
I wonder who was the best Canucks coach of all time? AV? Pat Quinn? I think those are the only ones in the competition as looking through our head coach history, the rest have been pretty bad. Most are below .500 (and that has a lot to do with the non-cap / bad canadian dollar / smaller market of the past / pre-2004) and most were fired within a couple years.
I mean sure everybody loves Roger Nielson for the white flag but his record wasn't great.

By sheer numbers probably AV. We lost to the later cup winner in the playoffs three times in a row and won two president's trophies with him.

Ugh please no
Quinn did more with less, I'd say. AV was fortunate to coach the best Canucks rosters ever.
It really depends on Detroit.
If Detroit doesn't want to pay Babcock, then the list of suitors are those who are willing to pay whatever Babcock wants, and a coaching vacancy (obviously).
Hell, may not even be the Leafs. The Leafs could be happy with Carlyle going forward.
I dunno. Bure was the best goal scorer the Canucks may ever have. If we had stayed, who knows what could have happened?
Sure hope so

It's not happening. He'll have his pick of teams to go to. He'd have to be insane to pick Toronto.
Detroit will pay him probably. I think it's more he might want a new challenge, and he knows he'll get paid regardless.

How much did that run you out of curiosity? I wish I could find that here. I only see leagues not something that rolls into a league like that. That actually sounds awesome.
