Yep that's who I meant  

 

Rules for assists seem to be really weird though. Most of the times someone gets the assist even though he didn't even touch the puck in 10 seconds or something  

 

Well, to be honest, in Hockey to create the goal is often much more difficult than scoring. For example a lot of goals are scored by deflections, I can speak about many cases when even the scorers barely knew they did scored  or just scoring in the empty net, so the assists are very important.

 

Maybe I would agree with dropping the credit for secondary assists, but again, it depend on different situations, in a goal scored by double deflections for example the most important and most valuable person in that was the first shooter so it´s normal to attribute him at least a point for secondary assist

 

here for example some memorable deflected goals in NHL

WTF, Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche got traded to the Ottawa Senators.....during last night's game, meaning he got off halfway through the first period and went on his way to Ottawa (who will play the Avs in their next two games)

Including a million players and draft picks and everything. Man, I'm trying to write something about this on a Dutch website (because come on, getting traded and leaving the team during the match, that's something  ) but this is complicated to figure out

Typical NHL business, showing at full face that hockey is for them only a business...

 

 

however here the trade in short

3 way trade Colorado - Nashville - Ottawa

Ottawa: Matt Duchene (from Colorado).
Colorado: Andrew Hammond, Shane Bowers,  1. round draft 2018 pick (Top 10 protected) and 3. round draft 2019 (from Ottawa) + Vladislav Kamenev and Samuel Girard (from Nashville).
Nashville: Kyle Turris (from Ottawa).

Senators vs Avalanche in Stockholm is starting in a few minutes and the anthems are being sung by Janice...and her rather visible nipples, which makes me wonder when half of the American population will explode because 'OMG A NIPPLE!'
