Jeez, don't start that again.Loser point. It doesn't exist.

Originally perhaps, but I think both terms are usable. Corps meaning the entire group, core meaning the best part. The "meat and potatoes" if you will"Defence core"
It's defense corps
A lucky team might have two. Most teams would be happy to have one.
Colorado probably has several which is an outlier at the best of times.
Offsides might make more sense though? It’s what seems to be in common usage, and if you think about it like “two sides of the line, he is on the wrong side, he is off on his sides”.. either way, it’s never bugged me. Most of these seem silly, generational is the only one that’s actually a problem and that’s just because it’s become half a meme here on HF.
When you go to NHL shop, it’s called a jersey.
I wear a jersey for all sports.
I wear a sweater for walks on the beach or in the mountains.
agree... celly is lame / embarrassing. Kevin Weeks uses celly on NHL channel. AAARRrrrggghhh!! Moron!!!
To be fair, assets is used to describe people management a lot in the business world. When I was running a business, I would often use asset management in terms of how to best utilize persons. The people weren't the assets, what they brought to the table was.
The etymology of the term stems from early soccer rules (which early hockey copied) where forward passes (and in the earlier half of this early era, closer to the attacking goal than the ball/puck at all). A player in violation of this rule was said to be "off his side of the ball." Pluralizing it doesn't really make sense if you consider the origin of the term, but language does evolve, and that includes etymologically inaccurate words, such as "funguses" now being an acceptable pluralization of "fungus" instead of insisting on "fungi."
Then again, English doesn't actually have an official governing body for the language, unlike, say, metropolitan French (though L'Académie Française is a bunch of pretentious blowhards).
idk about fans, but I think NHL players need to remove "you know" from their vocabulary.
Pretty common discussion term in all sports though, hockey is lucky because it's indisputably Gretzky
People also like to discuss how historically great Ovi is at scoring goals
Drives me nuts how often certain words get thrown around, so let's start a list of words not to use anymore
#1 Offsides: it's offside singular
#2 Generational: these players come around once in a while, not every year
#3 Franchise Player: this isn't EA
#4 Celly: this one just bothers me, no other reason
