Maybe they should skip picking goalies for the game and just use the targets from the skills competition.
And stop firing that damn cannon!

I didn't bother watching either the skills competition (actually, I forgot about it but typically enjoy it) and the game itself. Waste of my time--though I'm sure Bettman would love seeing EVERY game played in a way that results in 29 goals.
First hockey game I've ever seen where the score is higher than a lacrosse game. Actually, I didn't really watch it. It was on in the living room while I was doing stuff in the kitchen so I could hear the damn cannon go off every two minutes!
I didn't watch any either. Looking forward to watching a Habs game though!

Round of applause for Marty Brodeur as he calls it a day. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/01/2...fice/21135722/
Truly, one of the greats.

Brodeur owns a few records for the ages. Congrats on a long and fruitful career!
Habs managed to steal another 2 points last night. However, this "we'll let the other team take twice as many shots as we do and hope Price steals the game for us" approach is going to get them in a lot of trouble.
Bring on the Rangers!

I hated those trapping Devils teams with a fiery passion - especially Scott Stevens - but always respected Brodeur. He was fantastic.
Got to witness in-person the Flyers' second consecutive shoot-out win last night. Yes, you read the correctly - not only two shoot-out wins this season, but two back-to-back!
The Flyers' public address announcer is a customer of my girlfriend's, so we visited him before the game and he allowed us to watch warm-ups from the penalty box - a very cool thrill.

Detroit is a 4.5 - 5 hour drive from Toronto. Buffalo is a 1.5 hour drive.
I know a lot of people who will drive to Buffalo to catch a hockey or football game (usually the opposing team is the attraction, not the home team... and the cheap alcohol ). You can drive to Buffalo, catch a game, and still be home and sleeping in your own bed at a decent hour.
I don't know anyone who goes to Detroit on a regular basis. It's too far.
If you look at it that way then I'm sure that you're right. There is quite a large population between Toronto and Detroit. As you get futher south I'm sure that there are lots of fans heading to Detroit over Toronto. So from that perspective Detroit probably is drawing fans away from the Toronto sports market. To be honest, I've really never thought about it.
In other news, the Leafs just lost to the Devils. That makes it only 3 wins in 18 games. Thanks god it's Lacrosse season!
Klonk! It's your favorite diving team tonight!

It was an entertaining 1-0 game . Uhh... scratch that... it was a 2-0 game. That first one was a goal. They were freezing the frame with the puck still touching the line but it was on it's way back out. When you watch it in real time you see a blur cross the line completely, hit Lundqvist just above the skate, then roll up his pad and out. That's the second time in a month the Habs get gipped out of a goal. But then again, the reviews DO take place in Toronto!
Aside from that, it was a fairly hard hitting game with both teams stealing the momentum from the other throughout, and both goalies making crazy stops. May we meet in the playoffs again this year!

The "real" Super Bowl Sunday is in DC at the Verizon Center for the Note vs the Caps

1PM start, so plenty of time to get back and prepare for the *other* game

Habs have a tradition of playing back-to-back home games on SB weekend, both at 1:00PM. We'll mollify the Caps for you tomorrow...

Here's that disallowed goal. They called it no goal on the ice and the video was deemed inconclusive.... Maybe I'm just biased...

That's a tough one. When you can see the puck, it's on the line. But it does look like the puck shot past the line to hit his toe and roll back up his skate. If that's what happened then it's in. But it's hard to say for sure.
If I had to call it, based on the direction and trajectory of the puck on it's way into the net, I'd say it's a goal. But if you have to rely on what you can actually see then I'd say no goal.
