A player must have at least 41 games played with the club or one game played in the Stanley Cup Finals. However, in 1994 a stipulation was added to allow a team to petition the Commissioner for permission to have players' names put on the Cup if extenuating circumstances prevented them from being available to play.

How can we get Hanks name on the cup?


The 2019-20 NHL Official Rules say, in part, "In regular League and Playoff games, if both listed goalkeepers are incapacitated, that team shall be entitled to dress and play any available goalkeeper who is eligible.

So in theory, if our two main string goaltenders were to suffer a surprise stubbed toe while entering the lockerroom after the 2nd period in game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Avs, being 5-0 up...... could we get Hank in the goal to make sure he gets his name on the Lord Stanley trophy? Alternatively, Hank is the emergency backup, but has to pull out due to his heart condition. Can we petition the NHL due to extenuating circumstances to put his name on anyway¿¿¿

Surely, the universe wants this?
Hank is not medically cleared to play hockey. If he was part of the club in some AGM role, then his name goes on it likely. But in his current role no.

We need Mika shooting more and Kreider on top of the net. Get the shots off quick and create havoc in front of the net. That line has one of the best net front presences in the league and they need to take advantage of it. Hopefully last night woke them up and made them realize they don't need so much E W passing to create chances.

Blows my mind Mika doesn’t shoot more. He’s got a rocket and it always seems to catch goalies sleeping because he usually passes.

The more he starts shooting the more the pens gotta respect it and it should give kreider more room down low to do what he does best.

We should have enough talent to overcome Crosby. It took until game 6 for Kreider and Zib to wake up. Panarin and Strome are still asleep.

I hope Crosby plays. If they can't beat them with Crosby, there are big issues anyway. And if we do win G7 with Crosby playing, maybe that will take away some of the BS narrative of how Trouba had to injure their star for the Rangers to win.

And obviously good for Sid that it's not that bad. Concussions with his history, you have to be afraid. We are not talking about just a career with concussions, but the ability to live a normal life.

We also took them to 3OT in a game 1 that we rightfully should have won and handled them pretty easily in game 2. Zero reason this team can't win a game 7, even with Crosby playing.

That will be a huge emotional boost for the Penguins , beside his level of greatness. Rangers are going to have to really prove something here. Need to come out with some fire like Game 1.

The Sid video is, at most, "light skating." (Or, honestly, "a dude with a concussion testing how he feels after some light skating.") Many hoops to jump through between that and "playing in an NHL playoff game."

IIRC, Crosby only missed a game when he fell into Niskanen and got concussed a few years ago.

Is he coming back too soon? Probably. All that means is that they should make it a point to hit him.

Because it was before the practice, which he was apparently a full participant.

Back to business - we won a game not the series .

Gallant should be on the video board today with his D Men.

@ 3-2 - there’s no way you can give it back to malkin that easily to make it 3-3 .

NO FN WAY

MILLER has to know he has to haul him down there …

Trouba was heinous last night .. he turned into mr. Stick check James Patrick … play the fukn body first … outta position - too much swiping …

Scheinder looked scared .., confused … he needs a reassurance.

I still think you could see Nemeth again.
