...Like, this just happened last night!!

I don't even think Brindy could save the Devils!

I'll take the over!

There's also a rule where you cannot touch the puck with your hands upon the drop of the puck. It's actually a 2 minute penalty for a "Faceoff violation". I think I saw that once this season.

I'm taking a stab, Philly...but I think what could be, is that if a team needed a line change badly, and to get a little bit of extra breather, they'd have a guy take the draw and get tossed for a few extra seconds of a rest.

Answers: 1. The linesman dropping the puck makes the call. The "why" part is a few reasons; think like a "false start" in football, for the most part. But the visiting team has to put his stick on the ice first, followed by the home team. Both have to come to a stop and wait for the drop. Both must have their skates square and even. All their teammates must be on the correct side of the circle and motionless. 2. They are lenient and not consistent with that call. Sometimes they call icing and other times they let it slide...nothing new under the sun with that call. It's been like that for eons! 3. Yes...actually Round 2 can't start until the teams clinch their Round 1 series anyway. Best of 5 went away when the NHL figured out they make more $$$ on more games played. I remember 2 out of 3, then 3 out of 5, before the last 2 rounds were 4 out of 7. 4. Probably not anymore, Big Guy. The days of beating a goalie that can see a puck from over 20 feet out is really a rarity these days. Back in the day, the goalie pads, and equipment was smaller...as were most of the goalies. Now you have goalies in there that are 6' 7" and take up 1/2 of the net. They are "better" in a sense, that the training, knowledge and scouting is much improved from the old days of Gump, Eddie and Rogie. 5. They can.... 6. They will... 7. They are... 8. It is...

No doubter this year!

This team is only going to improve as we move along in the Playoffs. I let the old Ghosts die after last season.... New Time....New (Better) Team....New attitude! Enjoy the ride fellas! This is going to be a fun one!

Isles didn't take much out of the Canes in 5 games....We're 100%. That's good enough for me. We got this!

Read my lips 6 We win
