Ovie just needs 3. tie goes to the guy with the most goals. but i hope the Bruins keep him off the scoreboard. it'll help Henrik and it'll help Stammer
A tie means they share the award.
Actually, you're right, I seem to remember Jagr winning it over Lindros one year because he had more goals than him. They should change that rule now that the Maurice Richard exists.
Housley. Dude went right into the league from high school. He would go from one end to the other through a whole team when he was at South St. Paul. The Gretzky of Minnesota hockey. :hatsoff:

Nikkala made me do it!
yeah, it should be all the same
he only needs 3 to beat Lecavalier's record of 52. a hat trick would do it.
I guess the yoga he has been doing these past few years hasn't centered him yet
I think Modano is the greatest American of all-time, but that might just be because I like him so much. Phil Housley is obviously up there with any other American player, but guys like Joe Mullen and Pat LaFontaine have to be considered, as does Brett Hull if you look at him as American, which I do because he chose to represent the United States after not being invited to Team Canada's training camp for the 1986 World Championships. He's a dual citizen, just like me, so I understand that sometimes you do have to choose which citizenship to go with, and he chose American, so that's what he has to be considered when you look at his hockey career.
I think it would easily be Hull because of some of the astronomical numbers he amassed, but there is the dual citizenship thing like you said. He did play college hockey for the Bulldogs, which was cool. I'm partial to Housley because of being from his area.
Hull was a monster goal-scorer in his prime. Three 70+ goal seasons, including an 86-goal season in 1990-91. That is ridiculous. I just don't like him, which is why I go with Modano, but talent-wise Hull was probably the best American player ever.
Yeah I met Hull a few years ago and got his auto. He wasn't the nicest guy in the world, but at least he signed for me once. My buddy was behind him in line at a gas station in a suburb over here a couple years ago, out by Housley's place. I don't know if he was visiting or if he actually had property over this way, but he was with his kid that time.
Hull - like his dad - was a monster goal man. His 86 goal campaign is one of the greatest seasons ever. I still have his OPC RC in super mint condition in a super thick.
That was one of the hottest cards in the neighborhood back in the day.
Flyers won the shootout against the Rangers 2-1 to clinch a playoff spot. Both teams were giving 110%, and to me it seemed like the Flyers had more chances to score altogether, but couldn't find the back of the net. In the end all the suffering of only being able to put one biscuit in the oven throughout the whole game paid off with the W.
I was pissed as fuck and my TV service is going to be hearing about this...for some fucking reason I was able to watch the whole game until the shootout, and then I wasn't able to watch the shootout. My service blacked out for some reason? WTF is that bullshit.
EDIT: Crosby also got his 50 and 51 goals leading the league in goals now.

Fark me. No Gaborik rising to the occasion. Devastating.
