no kidding. This is the 2nd time in a week I had to go look up he definition of words. Why didn’t you just say unique and make it easy on us knuckle dragging hockey fans?
Generally speaking, it doesn’t matter who wins, the asterisk will be there. It doesn’t matter to me as every team had to play under the same conditions this year. The Flyers did not have any special advantage over any other team.
I'm a couple pages behind so I don’t know if anyone said this yet...that rule was changed a couple years ago. The defending team (in the defensive zone) puts their stick down first.
EDIT: I see AJ mentioned it. Glad I read the rest of the thread because I almost asked about the 8th grade thing, too!!
I don’t care who they play as long as they play well. I selected Montreal because I want the Flyers to be the #1 seed in the east.
EDIT: I would also like to see A Columbus - Tampa Bay rematch if the Flyers win.
I think all of the top 4 teams in both conferences are playing their backup goalie in at least one game. All 4 teams in the west have done it and the only one in the east that hasn't done it yet is Tampa. Must be something to it if everyone is doing it.
Not dirty or intentional. Just kind of a freak accident. I’m sure the league has already looked at it and it will not warrant any discipline no matter what Paul Maurice thinks.
