Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good.
But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!
And I am sure most people have not changed theirs minds how they will vote in November.
Now come the seemingly eternal debates....will they be influential?
I don't think so.
That old saying "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts" still holds sway.
And then the moment of truth.
Am not holding my breath.
And neither it seems is the media.
Yes, this 2011/12 season is the 7th Birthday of the AHL Shootout. Happy 7th Birthday, SO
In the 2004-05 season the shootout to settle ties in regulation games was re-instituted by the AHL And the NHL followed suit in 2005-06.
That is after a game stays tied at Overtime end of 5 minutes.
Three shooters are nominated by the each team. The starter can be from the home team or the visitor. And the SO begins after a two minute intermission and the ice has been cleared to provide a clean fresh surface down the middle.
Scoring no goal, teams continue in a "sudden death" mode.
Both teams have an equal number of shots.
The winning team receives 2 points for a regulationWin, 0 for a Loss
and 1 point for a loss in PT or SO. OtL or SoL. 1 SO point is added to the winner's seasonal stats - independently of the number of goals scored by the team in the SO.
Doesn't that remind you, chers readers, of a certain team - LOL?
Points are not counted for the individual players stats, be they skaters or goalies and does not influence plus/minus in game stats. Interestingly, a tied 0-0 game at the end of OT gives both goaltenders a shutout credit.
Individual SO stats are officially calculated separately.
A cool SO goal on 2/11/12
However in Stanley Cup playoff games, the format remains unchanged. Overtime is the full 20 minute period as often as needed to break the tie, and a Shootout is not used.
And the Aeros play Milwaukee tonight!
A must listen and/or watch!
Just a new slant or is it?
Without Fontaine who was suspended for 2 games.
For more on that read Russo's Rants IF you are really that interested.
Personally, I am royally fed up with the scurrilous misuse of proper words...

spelled with either 1 -more often, or 2 Gs) for more information.
