If anyone feels the need to vomit,

24 Together, The story of the 1993 Canadiens is on NHL Network right now.

Easily the worst SC winner of the last 25 years.

@sarge88 EVERYTHING broke right for Montreal that year starting with the Bruins shocking no-show against Buffalo.
Then the Islanders upset Pittsburgh. In the West the 3 best teams get knocked out in Round 1.

The most controversial play happened in Game 6 of the WCF



Bettman had been hired a few months before and there are many who believe he did not want an all Canadian SCF as ABC was doing some games and Montreal was already in.

That was just one very strange playoff overall.

Partial Transcript here^

He roasts the Edmonton culture and defends Dallas Eakins as a coach. Doesn't name names, but most people on the nhl board think he's referring to Hall and Eberle as the partying clique.

Watching Isles - Pens

Good to see they're back in Nassau, for this game at least. Yes it's an old barn but it has soul and it's alive & loud. Barclays is just depressing, dark.

The average NHL puck is kept at a temperature between minus-10 and minus-7 Celsius before it hits the ice in a game.
Everyone knows that a frozen puck slides smoother and faster.

Once it’s out of the freezer and in play, though, it’s much more difficult to tell how quickly a puck has thawed.

That’s why the NHL is set to test official game pucks featuring a thermochromic coating, which will change the colour of the league’s logo on the back of the puck from purple to white when the puck’s temperature rises above freezing, to serve as a visual indicator to officials that the puck should be replaced.

The NHL will first test the thermochromic puck at the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium between the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins. The coated pucks will then be further examined during other significant events, including the 2019 All-Star weekend in San Jose, Calif. on Jan. 24-25, for potential future league-wide inclusion.

Hopefully teams can challenge goals if the puck's logo has turned white and it's shown the puck was too warm when it went into the net. Glad the league is focusing on the important things.
