Pretty clear you should stick to hunting and Sun Belt football. You don't know much about hockey.

I don't hunt, nor do I claim to be a hockey expert, but it must suck to get schooled about the game by a hick from Georgia.

There's no reason for your biases to cloud common sense judgement.

It would if that were the case, but it's not so it doesn't. I am a hockey expert.

I apologize for butting in on your hockey civil war, but assist are just as important as goals. There is a reason Gretzky was called the Great One.

No, they aren't, except to those who need to add them in to boost their numbers.

How many unassisted goals has the big Ovum scored?

How many unassisted goals has the big Ovum scored?

Same as everyone else. The league average for unassisted goals is about 5-6% of all goals. When Ovie hit 500 he had 27 unassisted goals or 5.4%.

Assists are participation medals.

I would expect somebody from the great white north to get it, but you don't. Assists would be more like giving the QB yard credit for RB's when they hand the ball off. Have you ever seen a TD catch where the ball wasn't thrown?

You do know what goes down as an assist, don't you?

I've seen a TD where the ball wasn't thrown. I'll take the all-around guy all day.

So you believe QB's should get credit for a rushing TD when the hand the ball off. Check.

[89Hen]

BTW, last year in the Caps/Pens six game playoff series:

Ovechkin - 2 goals, 5 assists
Crosby - 0 goals, 2 assists

Go ahead and believe it's Ovie's fault and Crosby's doing. You knuckleheads are wearing me out.

No, but QB's get credited for passing yards when the receiver makes yards after the catch, and he will even be credited for a TD pass if the receiver scores. It's the same philosophy.

Pass the puck.

A goal scorer is easier to stop than a goal scorer that can pass the puck.

Then you know it's easier to stop Ovie than to stop Crosby.

Like Canada, Minnesotans are born to skate.

He's so easy to stop that he LEADS THE LEAGUE IN GOALS during his career and even if you spot folks five years before he started. Stick to baseball cards Gil.

Those 3 are generally nice people.

You are too 89, didn't mean to give you that bad of an insult.
