It's actually a triple negative (no one, doesn't think, can't make). So therefore, it's substantively the same as a single negative

True. You can remove the first one in "No one," but then you have to replace one of the negatives in the latter part of the statement.

The bulk of the local media crucified him (figuratively) because he refused to address them since they kept asking him about his and Lupul's off-ice activities instead of about the on-ice games.

Bill,

If you do have an update on Ghost, that would be nice to hear. Even if he is out now, I am hoping he is playing by the 14th. We have tickets for the Phantoms-Sound Tigers' game that day.

Thanks.

Last I heard -- last week -- he was a little behind schedule but is still expecting to play in March.

I asked the beat.


He’s practicing in a non-contact capacity with no announced timetable for return.

"I don't look at us right now like we're not a good team," Hextall told the Flyers' official website. "We're a good enough team to make the playoffs and Cinderella runs happen every year ... No one on our side, including the players and coaches, doesn't think we can't make the playoffs. But as an organization we're trying to stay competitive, trying to stay good and grab assets for the future."

That's a double negative. Translation:

"No one on our side, including the players and coaches, does think we can make the playoffs."

Very clever, Hexy.

Excellent.

The grammatically challenged see what they want to see. The rest of us know the truth.

Keesel goes off about Phaneuf treatment.

Good for him. Phaneuf gets too much crap in that city imo.

Just watched the full clip

It's sad, what goes on up there

I had said before that team is just broken. Their pride tells them to fight through it and be part of the solution, but their spirits are just broken

Now, they're starting to lash out at the media

I can totally see one of the usual targets going straight the hell off before season's end, if they keep losing

You guys are right in that it's reached "Richards final season in Philadelphia" bad, in Toronto with the media

This table makes very interesting reading.

http://stats.hockeyanalys...orsi&sort=A60&sortdir=ASC

Of the 7 regular D the best shot suppressors in order are:

Coburn
MacDonald
Schultz
Streit
Grossmann
Schenn
MDZ

But the best shot generators are:

LSchenn
MDZ
Streit
Coburn
MacDonald
Schultz
Grossmann

So when MDZ-Schenn are out there, expect a ton of shots attempts both ways.

- Feanor


L schenn can't and shouldn't do anything else at the point but shoot. If 3% get through then yipee

He's one of the best at getting shots through on our defense.
