In the second arena operations FAIL in two days...

Flames/Vancouver from Vancouver: Some idiot was pointing a laser pointer at Kipper from the stands, trying to blind him. The arena staff tried only half heartedly to find the clown pulling this off an an “investigation” is ongoing.

Right, that is a dangerous incident and I would ahve pulled every single fan from the section in question. EVERY ONE.

Paper said the Lightning have no plans to call him up to the big club, so I’m guessing they are clearing the way to let him go.

It’s puck control they need to play, and one full period of hockey. Eat the clock. The score is to your advantage. It’s not an issue of trying to put rubber on net, it’s an issue of preventing the Devils from trying.

Okay. So, stats for this entire game – going back to Friday. Lightning are still pitching the shutout, which is a good thing.

Shots are now 25-9, in favor of the Devils; Stamkos has taken four of those shots. The Lightning have won only 44% of the total faceoffs; Stamkos is 1-5 (17%) while Konopka is 4-1 (80%). They are out-hitting the Devils 10-7, tho; three players have two hits each. Three players have a turnover each, four players have a steal each, and Lundin has three blocked shots.

The Lightning will start the third on the power play.

Toronto will never fold. Doubt Edmonton would either. For all their bad play, they both still regularly have sellouts. I could see Atlanta and Florida going bye-bye though. And if they don’t get that Lighthouse Project kinks worked out on the Island, the NYI could be moving somewhere too.

Here's my question for each of you

Lets say this is a 3-0 final after the full sixty minutes is complete. How useless has this resumption become? Should they hae resumed the game like this or called Friday’s game official because it was past the half-way point with a definate score (non tie)?

No, because the Lightning could always have another 3rd period meltdown and let the Devils back in the game. I’d never assume a win until that final buzzer.

"What we do in life echoes in eternity"...General Maximus, Gladiator

by Tina Robinson on Jan 10, 2010 6:52 PM EST up reply actions  

I wouldn’t call it “useless”. I mean, a game’s a game. The problem isn’t the fact that this game was postponed, but the fact that there wasn’t anything in the rule book to cover it. There is no standard definition of what constitutes a full game – over 30 minutes or two periods.

The expectation is you play 60 minutes

So, I’d say this was necessary. Logistically a nightmare, and (hopefully) a waste of time, but is it fair on the Devils to be cut short?

For all the flak Taylor gets, Chico is 1000 times more of a homer. Sweet goal by Stammer though

Every team’s got one. A homer, that is. Not Stamkos. ;o)

Meant to ask you last night Taiter… what part of the UK are you in? What kind of time difference between there and the East Coast of the US? 5 hrs or so?

Bristol

We’re in a single time zone, so 5 (plus or minus daylights saving)

I mean, 2 goal lead with 30 something second lead SHOULD be safe.

Yup

Could be even better if the Packers stage a comeback!

So the odds that New Jersey can score three goals in four minutes doesn’t seem very good to me.

It hasn't gotten out of the lower forties all day, to give you an idea

It will be clear tonight… It will be f’n cold for sure…. Mid twenties or lower…

Or I could be wrong and it could be just above freezing

It didn’t seem to me that either team really came out to play. They both sort of went thru the motions and hoped for the best. Until the end, anyways.

But in all honesty, the Bolts were looking like they were playing "prevent defense" there at the end too.

So not sure they were putting it all out there either.

They should have been playign ball controlf rom the get go.

Play conservative, don’t do anything stupid. Own the first nine minutes and then play a conservative period. Easy Peasy. Why they went full on, I dunno…. That’s how it looked to me. Prevent defense, but full on …. And Id on’t mean playing full tilt.
