We also had a videogame class where we played Atari for a couple hours. Life was good

Go on, geezer.
Well technically hockey isnāt our sport, itās just mostly played in the States. And until the last 20 years or so, it was for the most part a low scoring sport.

Agreed. Wouldn't have minded keeping him for another season and feel like the club should've tried to make it work. Then again, he missed most of the season and in his first start back he was injured early in second half. Asking for a 2 year contract was a bit naĆÆve on his and his agent's part.
I don't think the club handled it well though, should have shown more class and left the original contract offer on the table rather than withdrawing it. There is a good feature on RedTV with him going back through the highlights of his career.

Hockey low-scoring? Thereād be loads of goals in the 70s and 80s because the goalie pads were so small and GK technique was not as developed. Gretzky and co were scoring 7, 8, 9 goals a game. Iāll admit late 90s, early 2000s until the lockout it was lower and as a result they reduced the size of the GK pads and other gear among some other rule changes which helped.

Yeah, I agree. We definitely could have done better for him, even if he isnāt playing well.

idk... looking at GAA by season it was fairly low scoring before 1940. 70s and 80s were almost 4 most seasons, (Gretzky did a mad one in 1981-82 tbf scoring an insane 92 goals which may have crept that average up), lowest was 03-04, but then slowly crept back up again. This season it's nearly 3. And that's per team, so nearly 3 GAA/team = nearly 6 goals a game.

This year was definitely up, but I think out of any of āourā sports, hockey and football share some similarities. I think thatās what I was trying to get at in a half assed way.

semi-related but I was looking up Baseball as well when I was on the topic. This year and recent years have been extremely low scoring of late. minimal offense, just walks, strikeouts, or home runs. The league batting average is the lowest it's ever been so far this season. They need to do something because your average game is boring as hell to watch.This year was definitely up, but I think out of any of āourā sports, hockey and football share some similarities.

Anyone see the Messi to Miami rumors. Looks like they are getting a share of the club as part of the deal.
