Well the hourly rate comes out pretty decent...

> you’re probably better off with a 40+ year old amateur who has played the position a lot over the years than a regular NHL player who has never played it before <

Thanks for the reply. I guess it’s like the presidency. Better to have an amateur who knows how to get things done (Trump) than a career politician who has accomplished nothing.

If you get to watch a replay, he was wearing a Canes uniform with his Malple Leaf helmet. And yes, he said he knew where they would place the shot. He did stop a few tough ones.

I’m amazed a big 42 year old can still do the splits.

When asked about that on this AMs Dan Patrick show he said he could still do them. When asked if he could get up after, he said,"Yeah...with a crane."

Mrazek was 40 feet away from the goal when he got plowed. The Canes ought to think about having TWO backup goalies if he’s going to play that way. Great story, though.

Hockey fans are in general a classy lot.

I am impressed that fans in Canadian NHL arenas always stand respectfully for The Star-Spangled Banner when our own spoiled, woke football players do not.

Interesting, isn't it? They will even sing the Star Spangled Banner if the sound system goes down.

And nobody is kneeling. Strange bunch these Canadians.
