Roenicke may have never won the Cup, but he is forever immortalized as the best player in the best hockey video game ever made. NHL '94.

I'm just glad that the Ducks were casualty of that mess. As for the Sharks, I'm fairly happy that they didn't do anything stupid like overpay for a rental forward as they have been known to do in the past. I'm guessing that they're fairly confident that Hertl will be back in time for the playoffs. | ||

"what happened with a few of the players that were goal scorers ... was there was a domino waiting to fall that never did" "the domino" was not a back up goalie or a defenseman. "the domino" was a goal scorer.. hence the hold up on the movement of several goal scorers. an MP3-recording of HCAN is available on the Sportsnet.ca web site. and here is an early XMas present for big Lou http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-reduces-punishment-to-devils-over-kovalchuk-contract/ | ||
