It's simple, for me:

1. The Beatles
2. Pink Floyd
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Elton

British Invasion ftw

Scoreacek is more akin to Jags than G.

More akin to Jags than most other players in the league, honestly. Jake just muscles the puck to where it needs to go, and uses his ass to shield it from defenders. Fun to watch when he's on his game.

- Giroux_Is_God

yeah i see that too. you can definitely tell he modeled his game after him. just that ability to just hunch over and stick the ass out and shield that puck. its crazy the season jagr is having at his age. for the devils of all teams. and its largely even strength

Man, if he could find a way to develop that nasty, nasty wrist shot that Jagr still seems to have, Voracek would be a force.

oh yes. i was a little too young for a lot of mario's magical years. but jagr hooked me from a young age. even the name. sounds like he should be in the LOTR. when you guys wonder why i am a penguins fan. He is primarily the reason.
so granted yes, i guess you can say i am a bandwagon pens fan, but i mean crucify my single digit aged self if you must haha besides there were some not so great years that jagr made worth following all himself.

Any season ticket holders get the class action lawsuit email from how the Flyers did us all dirty with the Winter Classic tickets?

Hockey .500 is points-based since the exclusion of ties and the inclusion of 3-point games. To me, at least.
- jmatchett383

They have more than 1/2 the points they could have gotten season to date so are therefore over 500, or so it has been explained to me.

The team has a bigger number in the first column than the second.

I don't care how many OTL they have, because you still get points for them.

Period.

(not stabbing at you Bo or anyone just the stupid nitpicking that surrounds a ".500" team. The whole things sounds like 6th graders trying to find loopholes when arguing with their parents.)
