One more time

Are you getting bored counting down the minutes before tonight's Penguins-Flyers game? Maybe these will help pass the time.

If enough interest is shown -- and that means leaving answers in comments -- this could even become a regular occurrence.

Alright.....here goes:

HWA
Joel Quenneville - good coach, bad luck
Upset City - Philly Flyers
Steven Stamkos - huge expectations (he's not Crosby)
Detroit Red Wings - broken record player
Sean Avery - not good enough to compete on par....has to resort to his "antics"

WAI
Johan Franzen
Dany Sabourin
Brad Richards
Tobias Enstrom
Antero Niittymaki

I don't know if this is a trick question or not, but I'm choosing "D" 2.91 GAA, .901 SP. Maybe it was a typo or miscalcualtion, but I've added it up a half-dozen times.

Nonetheless, thanks for the brain churner.

Yes, it was a typo. Thanks for making the catch. I can't read my own handwriting, it seems.

As always, thanks for playing.

Well nuts, Brett already nailed the Who Am I and Math Quiz. I'll still go for Word Association too.

Joel Quenneville: rejoining the Leafs

Upset City: Philly for pulling off upsets, Montreal for being upset at their team's performance

Steven Stamkos: Number One

Detroit Red Wings: soft (I hate them, and always will until they regain their 1997-era grit)

Sean Avery: A flea on the cat of the NHL

Word Association:

Joel Quenneville: Awesome coach, not out of a job long.
Upset City: anyone who beats the Kitchener Rangers in the Mem Cup this week.
Steven Stamkos: great hockey player, sore loser
Detroit Red Wings: Picture of the modern day NHL.
Sean Avery: great player, stupid player.
