njmeadowlanders Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Kind of like the time the Devils played in a blizzard and only 300 people could make it. I'm surprised the Isles didn't postpone as well tonight.Devils 7, Calgary 5 in Jan '87 334 People showed:http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=651845The Devils expected 11,247 fans -- the number of tickets sold -- for the game. But with horrible weather causing severe traffic congestion, only 334 fans made it to the arena, which is believed to be the lowest-attended game in modern NHL history.For players and fans in attendance at that 7-5 Devils win, it inspired a unique club -- the Devils formed the 334 Club to honor those diehards -- as well as a bond that remains 26 years later.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Wasn't there a Bruins/Lightning game in Tampa that was postponed for a power outage?Nope, just canceled due to the state of emergency status in the Commonwealth. My town (about a mile or two from the Garden) got 28 inches so it's a little more than just a "little snowstorm" like NEW.ERA said.I remember a Lightning at Devils game was suspended in the 2nd period due to a power outage a couple of years ago.The Islanders lucked out today. I got 32 inches of snow here in Suffolk. Nassau wasn't hit as hard. I will not be going to the game tonight.Yeah, and the remainder of that game was played the next day, I believe. I can't help but think about that incident every time the Lightning play games in Newark (it's also a reassuring thing, because the Devils routinely beat the Lightning).

The_Admiral Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Worst camera angles in the league are Dallas (not steep enough) and Detroit (oh hey back of dudes' heads for the millionth time)I watched some of the Wings game today before I passed out due to bad hockey and realized I kinda didn't mind the camera angle! Having jerkasses carrying nachos through your line of sight really makes you feel like you're at the game. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 All Blues so far this game, they're really putting the pressure on Anaheim. I'll be surprised if the Ducks survive this one.EDIT: Spoke too soon. Bobby Ryan scores and ties the game. I heard something about the Blues having weak goaltending?

The_Admiral Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Oh, yeah, the Bruins played more hockey today than the Sharks did. Lot of ugly games across the board today.

I'm particularly concerned with the Oilers, a team built to score that never scores.The Sharks have turned into that, only 10 goals in their last 6 games.The Lightning and Sharks have kind of mirrored each other, in that regard.Only averaging 1.66 goals in their last three games after their berserk start. SSS, you could say, but that number wasn't/isn't going to get much better playing Tuukka Rask and Henrik Lundqvist the next two nights. In Tampa's case, they weren't going to keep posting 5+ a game, and in San Jose's case, Patrick Marleau wasn't going to keep seeing every single shot of his finding the net.

youcan'tseeme Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Toronto delivered a thorough thrashing of Montreal tonight. This team has really performed above and beyond expectations.Nice to see a team win a game in every category. Best and most complete game I've seen out of the Leafs in 5 years. I love the fact we are a team, everyone sticks up for each other and we aren't pushed around anymore, except maybe by Chara (if you're Phill Kessel).

BigBubba Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Fun Fact: Tonight's Leafs-Habs game was the first one since 2006 in which both teams entered the game above .500This was the most entertaining game for me in a long while. On top of giving the Habs a 6-0 ass-spanking, there were fights, scrums, and hits galore. Leafs/Habs games have really lacked a heated edge in the past little while, so it was great to see things turned up a notch. Toronto's finally resembling that tough, gritty, won't-be-pushed-around team that Burke promised. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

The_Admiral Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ian Cole's game-winning sudden death goal is washed out for goaltender interference. Crowd chants "bullsh-t" and throws garbage on the ice.
