Welcome to NHL Hockey!
- Thread starter Kreskin
- Start date
Canucks have a fairly tough road trip for the first part of November- that will separate the men from the boys. Habs, Ottawa, the Rangers and Detroit could all be tough, maybe even TO. 
Pitt > Isles 4-2

I well remember Bob Paradise of St Paul when he played for them. He wasn't the greatest player ever but he sure was a hard worker. Great family, well respected here in Gopherland.
Mario Lemieux ~ what a player. His impact on the game was just awesome and led them to the Stanley Cup. One of the best.
yep, sue do remember the play of Mario Lemieux, he was great, he and gretzky played awesome together
in that one 'Canada cup' I think it was.
Single dad awarded $67,692 jackpot in Oilers 50/50 deadline exception

The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation has decided to make a one-time exception for a single dad, awarding him a 50/50 jackpot of $67,692.50 after he missed the deadline to claim the prize.
Clayton Hinkey, from Sedgewick, about 180 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, had taken his four-year-old son to an Oilers game against the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 16 as a birthday present, but when his young son started to get fussy the pair left the game in the second period.
A volunteer who sold him a 50/50 ticket at the game said he could check his ticket online.
Hinkey didn’t remember to check his ticket until Thursday, four days after the game. When he did, he realized he had the winning ticket for the $67,692.50 prize.
Hinkey’s joy was quickly soured, however, when he called the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and was told the window to claim his prize had already closed. Under new rules, Oilers fans must collect their prize by 4 p.m. two days following the game.
After hearing Hinkey’s impassioned pleas for mercy, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation – in concert with the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission – has decided to make a one-time exemption for the single dad, giving him the $67,692.50 prize.
Clayton Hinkey found out too late he won an Oilers' 50/50 draw after leaving Sunday's game early with his young son.

good for them, I can just imagine how I would feel if it was me who had won, and I did the
same thing, and they had 'not' decided to give it to me anyway, that is a lot of money,
and for a single parent, or any parents, or anyone, having robbed myself of the winnings
would bother me for a long time, so good for everyone all-round.

well, I'm a canuck fan from their first game In the nhl, but I'm all excited about
the oilers too, I just love good hockey, and I was so delighted when the oilers got the
pick, and mcDavid is there instead of in the east somewhere, the west has him, so that includes
me, I'm all about the pacific division and the western conference, not the east, so yes, go oilers
go, but maybe not tonight.

Michael Grabner scored the hat trick with 3 assists for Hayes and 2 for Miller. Great transition scoring with quick breakaways and puck passing.

I have a bad feeling about this game but on the other hand the senators need to start winning face offs... They won't

Kind of glad to see the Senator take one, keeps Edmonton humble. Laffs took a beating to lowly Islanders!
Guess they aren't anymore, when I checked the standings the other day the Islanders were third from the bottom and the Leafs were higher.
