This is like the biggest game of the season tonight. Bulls are tied for the 7th pick, and only 1.5 games behind the 4th pick with 7 games remaining. Today they play the Magic who is the team that's in the 4th slot right now. Lose this one and they could make up critical ground. The difference between tied for 7th and 4th? 25% better odds at a top 3 pick and 8% better odds at he #1 pick
About 14 minutes was left on the clock in the third. Also, I don't think this has happened in modern NHL history (at least not that I could find). this much time? Or at all? Emergency goalie has definitely played before but I can’t remember more than 2-3 minutes
Speaking of debuts, 36 year old Scott Foster, signed as an emergency goalie today, hasn’t played meaningful hockey since college in 2003, has played about half the 3rd period
I think I've been purposely keeping away from a lot of spring training news and anticipation for opening day because if I allowed myself to get into it, the time until today would go so slowly. Today its like all the excitement has come at once and I'm buzzing with joy.
