This sounds like it has "Netflix documentary" all over it.

Nothing to do with them? Oh, besides using their name and their logo. That's enough for me.

Where did they all go?

Crazy how the parents called him a creep and a pedophile, and the inappropriateness was well-known. But yet, still had their kids playing there. Ah, the allure of an nhl team logo on your uniform.

Watching on tenband TV, which isn't as good as watching live so it's hard to pick up on some things, I find it hard to believe they put up 16 on them in the regular season. Maybe they saw a different goalie or something. Like I said in the midam post... I guess anything can happen when it's just one game.

I bet they're not.

I thought the same thing.

The bottom line is that hockey is the sport with the most variables during the course of a game. In any ONE game, between teams that are anywhere even close to skill, either team can win. Bouncing pucks, stunning goalie performances, how penalties are called or not called, kids being focused or not that particular day, momentum swings at opportune times (or not).... in one single game anything can happen. It happens all the time in hockey at every level. Ever wonder why professional gamblers mostly stick with basketball & football? Less variables.

I can't wait to hear more!

"Doing it the best possible way" would be to keep track not just points and shutouts, for reasons I already explained. It would include hits, blocks, shots, turnovers, and take aways, etc. Maybe then we'd see players challenging themselves to play the whole game of hockey rather than cherry picking and trying to go coast to coast every time they get the puck? The best possible way isn't keeping track of 3 or 4 statistics.

Here's another thing with stats... Besides favoring goals and shutout, who benefits? And assists aren't going to be accurate at all. I know kids that score a good amount of goals. Some of them do this by cherry picking constantly and giving up a lot of goals because of it. I know kids that have gotten shutouts because the team in front of them held the opponents to <15 shots in a game. So good for them. I also know kids who don't necessarily score all the time but play the game very well, consistently work hard creating opportunities for their team, don't take lazy penalties, excellent at killing penalties, excel at taking away the middle of the ice, etc. Kind of like the baseball player that never hits the homerun yet is almost always on first base and doesn't make errors in the field. Those kids really don't benefit at all from stats on some website, other than their friends or some parent saying, "oh well so-and-so really doesn't score a lot."

That's odd. Where? They like those admission fees.

Armstrong Predators Badgers North Pittsburgh Indiana Though I'm not convinced the refs of the Badgers games are actually biased, or just afraid of being assaulted by Badgers parents.

Imagine if you could see the actual scoresheets. It would substantiate the rinks where the visiting teams routinely and blatantly get homered.

Uh, YEP.

PAHL wants to charge the money and do the least work possible. Basically they run an organized in-house league that travels to play. I can see it getting to where they're being challenged with a competitor now and will probably end up rolling over and giving up as they continue to lose players and teams. However, I'll add that the AHF/THF groups on Facebook have an awful lot of complaining about "my kid faced 60 shots but the scoresheet only said 58", "they totally missed my kid's secondary assists 3 time this weekend", or any different incarnations of that you can think of. So I can see where PAHL doesn't want hounded week in and week out with those kind of complaints.

All in due time.

ECHL average pay is somewhere in the 700/week range. Minimum is like 500-something and up to around 1000. Very few if any players around here would have the ability to make a team. It might be a "lower" league but when it comes down to it those guys are closer to nhl players than the best players around here are to the ECHL.

Oh boy. What age group is he involved with?

So I'm hearing the manager and assistant manager (coach and assistant coach?) were kicked off the team after threatening to go to the authorities over money laundering. Anybody know the details?

I don't think this dude would last too long with that crowd.

Just like the old Motown hit... 🎶Smiling faces sometimes Pretend to be your friend Smiling faces show no traces Of the evil that lurks within (can you dig it?) Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes They don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Oh, oh, yeah🎶

I get what you mean. But the "why did you call it now when the same thing has been let go prior?" is also a legitimate question.

Absolutely a coach has the right to question a call and the referee has an obligation to explain it. If the ref can't explain the call, then it shouldn't have been made.
