[Siouxdonyms]

drew stafford - buffalo vs zach parise, travis zajac - new jersey

Parise needs one assist to have 100 career assists and 7 goals for 100 career goals (regular season stats).

[Siouxdonyms]

Stafford puts in his 6th of the year in tonight's Sabres/Devils game. Nice assist from nemesis Nathan Gerbe.

I have Gabby not finishing the season without another stint on the IR.

[sioux rube]

Matt Greene gets his first goal of the year in the first period tonite against San Jose.

[Siouxdonyms]

Parise puts in his 17th of the year in tonight's Devils/Maple Leafs game.

I think the prettiest goal of the game, the night and possibly the month, was made by another former Sioux. Jason Blake makes Clemmentsen look silly with a beautiful point-blank, spin-o-rama move in the shoot out for the game winner.

I don't understand that goal, I always thought that puck in a shootout or penalty shot always has to remain going in a forward position. Clearly, with the spin-a-rama move the puck is getting back and is not sustaining constant forwardness. Anyone explain this? Regardless, that was one hell of a goal, so sick!

Good point. There might be someone out there with the right answer,but, I think a strict interpretation like that would preclude a player from even basic handling of the puck in a back-and-forth motion to set up a deke for a shot on goal, or it would preclude a player from drawing the puck far back on his stick for a delayed wrister or to shelf the puck.

Maybe the key is that the player needs to be in forward motion, not necessarily the puck. During the spin-o-rama, Blaker was no longer moving forward, but, he wasn't moving backward either. It was more like a 360-degree pivot in basketball. Bottomline, it's probably ok to pivot in place and do whatever the heck you want with the puck during a penalty shot or a shootout.

Thoughts?

While trying to find the video of the goal I found the same question being asked, and the answer is that the NHL has made a specific exception for the spin move. I'm not going to find it but apparently it is in the NHL rule book.

[Siouxdonyms]

It's a Sioux night in Buffalo. Zajac, Stafford, and Parise each have a goal in tonight's Devils/Sabres game.

lee back to binghamton

[RedFrog]

Try and tell me that guy doesn't enjoy playing the game.

[redwing77]

lee back to binghamton

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/transactions

Back and forth so darned much I wonder if he actually left Binghamton to begin with.

[31-9]

Devs with a 5 - 1 win over the Sens tonight.

Right now, stats show:

Parise with a 4 assist night.

Zajac with a goal and an assist.

They've been reviewing things so that might change. I know the fifth goal was originally awarded to Parise, then changed to Zajac, but I actually think it was Langenbrunner's . . . and the post game has Zach as only getting 3 assists, but that could be a mistake.

NHL Network has it at 4 assists.

Stafford also got a goal tonight, though the highlights made it look like he actually scored two.

Toews nearly pots a game winner. Instead, the rebound off of his bad angle shot is banged home for the winner.

Toews still gets an assist in the game.

[BudLight]

Was in Montreal tonight for Stafford's game against the Habs. He really didn't do much, just to let you all know. It was an exciting OT win for the Habs though.

[BudLight]

Toews got an empty netter in the Hawks' 3-1 win over the Canucks.

[nodak hockey fanatic]

zajac just got the game winner in the shootout against the flyers. zpar and zajac each had an assist also.
