2013-14 NHL Regular Season Thread: Second Period

The run by the Kings comes to an end, but it was an impressive stretch. Toronto loses Bernier in the win, not good for them.

Stamkos gets his first goal since returning and the new guy, Callahan, put one in as well.

Then you have this little scandal brewing in Boise, Idaho: http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/10600154/idaho-hockey-fans-suing-arena-beer-prices

suing over beer?

Yeah streak's over. Good match last night kings/leafs. Wish I was there. kopitar robbed twice. bernie played a good game for the leafs.
We have Gaborik now who was very hot w the Rangers a few years back if you recall. He scored last night. Good.
 
Hmm, could have sworn I had subbed this edition of the thread before... what happened?

Hat's off to Peverly, hope he makes a full recovery. But you want tough hockey, you have to go old school Flyers and their goal tender Bruce Gamble:

Has heart attack in goal, continues on and wins game, then goes to the hospital.
 
Two big wins for the Flyers. I'm not going to get too upset about the Pens losses, but when Bylsma said this, "They did a lot of what we expected. We weren't able to handle it...", I was sort of frustrated.

Urban legends regarding Gamble

Because Gamble suffered both heart attacks after playing or practicing hockey, erroneous accounts have been written that he was taken to a hospital during the 1972 NHL game, or that he "died during an old-timer's game". Neither of Gamble's heart attacks disabled him while he was on the ice, although both had their onset soon afterward
 
Gamble fell to the ice during that 1972 game and explained it later as having chest pains. He was taken to the hospital after the game. It's in my Greenburg book on the Flyers. I think it's also mentioned in Gene Hart's book "Score!" but I'm not sure on that one. Not so sure it's an urban legend. Too bad he died so young at 44 that we can't ask him.
 
Four big points for the Flyers. Not sweating it as a Pens fan since half the team was out for both games and they almost pulled off the second game.

Flyers look way better now than they did earlier in the year. Heating up just in time to go streaking into the playoffs. I'll be curious to see how they finish the regular season.
