Does it count as a "goalie game" if my goalie only played the last 2 periods of a game?

If so, that's 3 goalie games and a 2.69 GAA and .901 sv%...may as well quit now, Imran has no chance.

Or...I try for the shutout...hmm.

Hmmm

At least Calgary went to OT with the Stars yesterday, and they had Turco in net then too.

Edmonton. (Conklin sucks)

[notyoueither]

Yes, yes he does.

[Asher]

Almost as bad as Cloutier.

[notyoueither]

There are worse.

[Asher]

Only a very select group of starting NHL goalies get 60-70% sv% games. In that group, Conklin and Cloutier are elite.

Brett Hull to announce retirement

Brett Hull has called it a career after 18 NHL seasons.

Brett Hull is slated to announce his retirement on Saturday night.

The 41-year-old Phoenix Coyotes right-winger is scheduled to officially announce his retirement at an 8 p.m. ET press conference on Saturday.

The third all-time scorer in NHL history, Hull first discussed retiring with Coyotes head coach Wayne Gretzky and GM Mike Barnett after Thursday night's 5-4 loss to the Nashville Predators, according to the Canadian Press.

With one assist in five games this season, Hull decided that enough was enough and told Barnett and Gretzky Saturday morning that he wanted to walk away from the game.

Only Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801) have scored more goals than Hull (741).

The son of Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, Brett was drafted in the sixth round by the Calgary Flames in 1984 and played 18 seasons in the NHL for Calgary, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings before signing with Phoenix last August.

After being traded by the Flames to the Blues he became one of the most dangerous snipers in the NHL, scoring more than 50 goals in five consecutive seasons with St. Louis from 1989 to 1994.

A nine-time all star, Hull led the NHL in goals for three consecutive seasons beginning in 1989-90. He also posted the third-highest single-season goal total in NHL history with 86 during the 1990-91 season, the same year he won the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP.

Hull was a clutch player in the post-season, scoring 103 goals in 202 playoff games, including the Stanley Cup-clincher for Dallas against the Buffalo Sabres in 1999.

He also won a Stanley Cup ring with Detroit in 2002.

Aside from a brilliant NHL career, Hull distinguished himself in international hockey, helping the U.S. upset Canada to win the inaugural World Cup of Hockey in 1996. Hull was also a key member of the American team that won silver at the 2002 Salt Lake Games.

Although born in Belleville, Ont., Hull decided to play for the U.S. internationally.

In 1,264 NHL games, Hull amassed 741 goals and 649 assists for 1,390 points and is expected to join his legendary father in the Hall of Fame once he becomes eligible.

Serves me right for picking geriatrics.

[Asher]

The league will be better without him.

[Guynemer]

HA HA!

Brett Hull

one of my favorite players

too bad he never came to Chicago

[Guynemer]

It became the dreaded red x.

[notyoueither]

Well, the goalie duel is over. Hasek and Burke both allowed one in the thrid, so far. No shutouts this week for Ben or I.

[Sava]

strange night for me

 G	R. Luongo (Fla - G) 	G	Buf	3rd 13:13, 2-2	2.57	.931	0
 G	R. Miller (Buf - G) 	G	@Fla	3rd 13:13, 2-2	2.57	.939	0

my goalies are facing each other, but each have allowed only 2 goals against through almost 2 and a half periods so far... which is good if it stays and it ends in a shootout...

and I have Daniel Briere also in that game, and he is the guy to score the only 2 goals against Luongo... so that is somewhat good...

Leetch is pointless... and -2 ... the Bruins are getting pwned 5-1...

Heatley has a goal for me

Are owned, past tense.

Damn, Ottawa are looking good.

[Asher]

Brodeur is dropping his 2nd game in a row...

I'm putting in Khabi today because I want to ensure I get 3 goalie games, plus it cant hurt...Imran and I are far away with goalie points.
