I missed the anniversary, but Mario's 5 Goals in Five different ways is so mind-bogglingly awesome that it will never, ever, ever be duplicated.
(That is until Ovechkin does it.)

Stats delayed until 2009
Hi guys,
I'm afraid that I'm unlikely to get stats out until the new year. Sorry for the delay.

Week 13 Lineups
Given the how busy I am likely to be Monday, I thought it a good idea to get a post up for our lineup submissions earlier rather than later. Hope everyone had an AWESOME holiday season!
Doug here, I've just bumped this to the top of the blog so it doesn't get lost. Week 12 stats are below.
The Ramapithicines win the Girodano sweepstakes and B.Ferrence is on the waiver-wire this week. Don't all jump at once.

Trevor Linden
I have to admit, I've always been a fan even though he was often a Flames killer.
Taken second overall in his draft year, he arrived almost fully formed as a 30 goal scoring winger with size and speed. He would later transform his game into that of a solid play-any-role forward, and ideal 2nd line center adding above average face-off and checking abilities to his repertoire of skills and physical play.
The trade of Linden to the Islanders may have netted the Canucks some nice pieces (Bertuzzi and McCabe) but it gutted the franchise of its heart and soul. Mike Keenan goes down in Canucks lore for rebuilding the team by gut punching the fans with that trade - after encouraging Linden to hand the captaincy over to a then useless Mark Messier.
Linden's career started at about the same time as the FUNHL did, and I have always been able to track the pools age by comparing it to Trevor's career.
If there is a stain on his shirt it is his performance as a Union Rep that installed Ted Saskin without proper procedures being followed. Classy to the end, Linden admitted his errors and stepped away from the role rather than continue to allow the situation to fester.
Always a great guy on and off the ice (he was the first player I knew of to purchase a luxury box and donate the seats to sick kids), Linden is IMO the greatest player the Canucks have ever produced and a deserving recipient of having his #16 jersey hang from the rafters in the city he played in.
Hockey links
Once again bringing you the best links since Gaetz roamed the blue-line for San Jose;
Mike Keenan says he was forced by ownership to blow up the Blues, but does it pass the smell test?
Despite the fact they are an Oiler blog, 'Lowetide' is IMO the best in the business. Here is his quickie salute to Trevor Linden.
Speaking of whom, here is a list of the top 10 Canucks of all-time.
Here are the 'Top Ten Goals scored off of Body Parts';
Warning, there is some actual footage of George Bush speaking. Any brain damage you suffer as a result is not the fault of this author.
Speaking of body parts, here are some mashups of different NHL player photos. Some of which (like Evgeni Ricci) are utterly freakish. My favourite is Donald Jagr.
Here is your obligatory Forsberg update! How do you know its Christmas? Forsberg is considering a comeback!
Speaking of comebacks, Mats Sundin is hoping to pry $6M out of the Rangers. I'd say that is plausible, but a lot of roster moves would need to be made to make it happen. At a minimum Petr Prucha would need to be sent to the minors, and or one or two players moved in trade. Could captain Chris Drury be on the block to make it happen?
Last but not least, Tom Benjamin parses the words of the Commish and his unwillingness to declare that the sky is falling.
