Quote from: bigredtrumpetSince no one else mentioned it, on Tuesday, David Leneveu played the second half and overtime to get the shootout (preseason) victory for the Columbus Blue Jackets against the Minnesota Wild.

He also survived as the Blue Jackets cut down to 3 goaltenders.

I was surprised to see his name pop up on the "bottom line" ticker on the NHL Network that night for getting the W.  Mostly because he hasn't been mentioned on this thread at all.

I thought I had seen somewhere on here (but then again maybe not) that he had signed a 2 way deal with Columbus.  Also, I thought I saw that his Austrian team won their championship last year, but can't find that at the moment.

[quote RatushnyFan]I thought the most interesting news yesterday was the Devils parting ways with Shanahan.  I think that Lou would cut his own kid if he was on the borderline, it's not personal it's just business.  It's probably a good decision but it had to be difficult to deliver the news.[/quote]

heard on WFAN this morning, that Shanahan was told by Lemaire that he wouldn't be within the top 9 forwards and that it was a mutual decision.

Not necessarily - outside of the already mentioned train travel, you can avoid NYC by taking the Tappan Zee bridge to the Garden State Parkway and ride that all the way to Atlantic City...

Also there are relatively cheaper hotels furthur away from town.

Yay Jersey.

I can't root for the Islanders but Moulson can score all he wants on Yann...

I have to agree with DeltaOne on this one.  Going by your logic, Adam, if the NBA looked at its athletes and decided since 90% (made up number) of them can dunk, they should make the nets higher just because they can.  It wouldn't increase scoring, but it would make it more of a shooter's game, plus decrease those "in your face" slams.  I mean you can give any reason to change something in the game whether it's to increase scoring or to tame it down (no fighting) or make it more watchable, but only the watchable is what translates into $$ for the NHL.

I doubt that changing the game will make it any more popular than actually playing a real NHL game right now.  And if anything needs changing, clutching and grabbing away from the puck should be more frequently called.  Get rid of touch-up icing (so many players get hurt on such a useless play) and reinstate touchup offside.

that is all,
BRT
