Nhl Morning Skate – March 7, 2020 NHL MORNING SKATE – MARCH 7, 2020 HOCKEY WORLD MOURNS THE PASSING OF HENRI RICHARD Canadiens legend Henri Richard, who won an NHL-record 11 Stanley Cup championships as a player throughout a 20-season career spent entirely with Montreal, passed away on Friday at age 84. Affectionately known as ‘Pocket Rocket’ and the younger brother of Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard, he ranks third on the Canadiens all-time points list with 358-688—1,046 in 1,258 regular-season games. * Statement from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman * Henri Richard carved own identity as champion * Video: 100 Greatest Players – Henri Richard THREE HARD LAPS * Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor each scored as the Jets blanked the Golden Knights and moved past the idle Wild for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. * Vancouver scored six-plus goals in a game for a League-leading 10th time to withstand Nathan MacKinnon’s 90th point and halt Colorado’s nine-game road win streak. * Roberto Luongo, the Panthers all-time leader among goaltenders in games played (572), wins (230) and shutouts (38), will become the first player to have his number retired by the franchise when his No. 1 is raised to the rafters of BB&T Center. JETS SOAR AT BELL MTS PLACE AND CLIMB BACK INTO PLAYOFF PICTURE Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor each scored, while Connor Hellebuyck (29 saves) registered his League-leading sixth shutout of the season as the Jets (35-28-6, 76 points) secured their fifth straight home win. Winnipeg moved past idle Minnesota (34-26-7, 75 points) for the final Wild Card position in the Western Conference. * Laine (21 years, 322 days) found the back of the net for the first time since Feb. 22 (at PHI) and registered his third career season with at least 60 points (also 2016-17 and 2017-18). Only one active NHL player has recorded more 60-point seasons than Laine at the age of 21 or younger (age at time of 60th point). * Connor (36-35—71 in 69 GP), on pace to become the fifth different Jets player to record 40 or more goals in a single season, extended the League’s longest active goal streak to five games. He trails only Patrick Kane (Nov. 7-17, 2019), Max Domi (Dec. 19-31, 2019) Sebastian Aho (Jan. 31 – Feb. 11) and Mika Zibanejad (Feb. 16-27) – all with six – for longest such run in 2019-20. * Hellebuyck matched a single-season career high for shutouts after originally posting six such performances in 2017-18. Already the Jets/Thrashers leader in shutouts, Hellebuyck also stands atop the franchise lead in goals against average (2.64) and save percentage (.917) – among goaltenders to appear in at least 100 regular-season contests. VANCOUVER WITHSTANDS MacKINNON, HALTS COLORADO’S ROAD STREAK After J.T. Miller (1-1—2) helped Vancouver build an early lead and Nathan MacKinnon’s 90th point (0-2—2) helped Colorado rally, the Canucks (35-26-6, 76 points) scored three unanswered goals to halt the Avalanche’s nine-game road win streak and reclaim the first Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. * The Canucks improved to 21-8-4 at Rogers Arena in 2019-20 and have scored six or more goals in seven home games – tied with the Penguins for the most among all teams this season. In fact, their 10 total contests with as many tallies pace the League (excluding shootout-deciding goals). * Miller, acquired by Vancouver on June 22, leads the club with 27-44—71 this season and became the fourth player in Canucks history to record 70 or more points in his first season with the franchise, joining Alexander Mogilny (55-52—107 in 1995-96), Greg Adams (36-40—76 in 1987-88) and Barry Pederson (24-52—76 in 1986-87). * Additionally, Miller – who collected his 20th multi-point game of the season and second in a span of three contests – is just one of two players to register at least 70 points in his first campaign with a club in 2019-20, joining Rangers forward Artemi Panarin (32-61—93 in 66 GP). * Meanwhile, the 2019-20 campaign marked the third straight season MacKinnon reached the 90-point mark after registering a career-high 99 points in 2018-19 (41-58—99). He joined Michel Goulet (6), Peter Stastny (6) and Joe Sakic (5) as just the fourth player in Avalanche/Nordiques history to notch at least three consecutive seasons with 90-plus points. FLAMES INCH CLOSER TO PACIFIC DIVISION LEAD Matthew Tkachuk (0-3—3) factored on all three Calgary goals to boost his team-leading totals to 22-38—60 and propel the Flames (36-26-7, 79 points) to their third straight win. Calgary moved within three points of Vegas (37-24-8, 82 points) for the Pacific Division lead and one of idle Edmonton (36-24-8, 80 points) for second. * Tkachuk, the sixth overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, recorded his 15th career game with three-plus points and sixth this season. Tkachuk trails only Auston Matthews (22) and Patrik Laine (17) for the most such outings among players selected from his draft class. QUICK CLICKS * Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, top rookies get push from GMs in battle for Calder Trophy * Friday Four: Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin have Rangers thinking playoffs * Facts and Figures: Zibanejad's historic night powers Rangers * Devils win on 'Video Game Night' against Blues * Roberto Luongo honored to have number retired by Panthers PREVIEW OF TODAY’S ACTION PANTHERS TO RETIRE LUONGO’S NO. 1 Roberto Luongo, the Panthers all-time leader among goaltenders in games played (572), wins (230) and shutouts (38), will become the first player to have his number retired by the franchise when his No. 1 is raised to the rafters of BB&T Center prior to their game against the Canadiens. Florida has previously retired two numbers to recognize club executives – No. 37 for H. Wayne Huizenga (Owner: 1993-01) and No. 93 for William A. Torrey (President/Governor/Alternate Governor: 1993-18). * Florida will become the seventh franchise to retire the No. 1 for a player, joining Chicago (Glenn Hall), Detroit (Terry Sawchuk), Montreal (Jacques Plante), NY Rangers (Ed Giacomin), Philadelphia (Bernie Parent) and Toronto (Turk Broda & Johnny Bower). * A fan-favorite with multiple franchises, Luongo is the only goaltender in NHL history to hold the wins record for two clubs, with at least 100 victories for each – pacing the Canucks (252) and Panthers (230). Overall, Luongo is one of three goaltenders in League history to currently sit atop the all-time wins list for multiple franchises (regardless of win counts). The others are Marc-Andre Fleury (Penguins and Golden Knights) and Roy Worters, who set club records while playing with the now-defunct New York Americans/Brooklyn Americans (120) and Pittsburgh Pirates/Philadelphia Quakers (53) franchises (includes regular season and playoffs). * Luongo, who was born in Montreal, Que., owned a 17-15-7 record in 40 career appearances against his hometown team with a 2.39 goals-against average, .924 save percentage and four shutouts. Overall, he ranks third on the NHL’s all-time wins list with 489, behind another pair of Quebec natives: Martin Brodeur (691) and Patrick Roy (551). PASTRNAK, OVECHKIN CONTINUE TO CHASE 50TH GOAL David Pastrnak (47-46—93) and Alex Ovechkin (47-18—65), tied atop the League’s Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy race, continue their chase for their 50th goals of the season as the Bruins (43-13-12, 98 points) and Capitals (40-20-7, 87 points) take to the ice. * Pastrnak stands three goals shy of becoming the sixth different player in Bruins history to score 50 goals in a season and first since Cam Neely (50-24—74 in 1993-94) did so 26 years ago. In fact, Pastrnak (23 years, 287 days) would also become the youngest Bruins skater to accomplish the feat. * Pastrnak, who looks to become the fifth different player in Bruins history to finish a season as the NHL’s goals leader and first since Phil Esposito in 1974-75, can join Ovechkin (3x: 2005- 06, 2007-08 and 2008-09), Steven Stamkos (2x: 2011-12 and 2009-10), Leon Draisaitl (2018- 19), Sidney Crosby (2009-10) and Ilya Kovalchuk (2005-06) as the sixth active player to register a 50-goal season at age 23 or younger. * Ovechkin (47-18—65 in 66 GP), already with a League-leading four hat tricks this season (tied), sits three goals shy of recording his ninth career 50-goal season. Should he reach the mark in 2019-20, the Capitals captain would tie Mike Bossy and Wayne Gretzky for the most by any player in NHL history. * Additionally, a 50-goal campaign would also continue to propel Ovechkin (705-571—1,276) up the League’s all-time goals list and into a tie with Mike Gartner (708) for seventh all time. FLYERS, WILD AIM TO EXTEND STREAKS, CONTINUE PLAYOFF PUSHES The Flyers (40-20-7, 87 points) and Wild (34-26-7, 75 points) put their respective win streaks on the line Saturday as the NHL’s push to the playoffs continues to intensify. * Philadelphia, with wins in each of its last eight contests dating to Feb. 18, looks to capture nine consecutive victories for just the third time in the last 30 years after previously doing so in 2016- 17 (10-0-0) and 1994-95 (9-0-0). The Flyers set their sights on finishing atop the division for the first time since the NHL realigned ahead of the 2013-14 campaign.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

  • L'ancien Capitaine Des Canadiens Henri Richard S
    L’ANCIEN CAPITAINE DES CANADIENS HENRI RICHARD S’ÉTEINT À L’ÂGE DE 84 ANS (Montréal, le 6 mars 2020) – C’est avec grande tristesse que le Club de hockey Canadien a appris le décès de son ancien capitaine Henri Richard, survenu plus tôt aujourd’hui à Laval. Il était âgé de 84 ans, lui qui avait célébré son anniversaire le 29 février dernier. Né en 1936 à Montréal, Henri a passé toute sa carrière dans l’uniforme des Canadiens, le seul avec Jean Béliveau à disputer 20 saisons avec le Tricolore. Avant de faire le saut dans la LNH, évoluant au sein de la même équipe que son frère aîné Maurice, Henri s’est illustré avec le National de Montréal, amassant 55 points en 49 matchs en 1951-1952. Il se joint ensuite aux Canadiens Juniors avec qui il remporte le championnat des marqueurs du circuit deux saisons de suite, arborant le chandail numéro 9. C’est en 1955-1956 qu’il amorce son illustre carrière dans la LNH avec les Canadiens, récoltant 40 points, dont 19 buts, en 64 rencontres et gagne la coupe Stanley pour la première fois. Les saisons se succèdent avec les Canadiens et la conquête de la coupe Stanley est au rendez-vous lors de ses cinq premières saisons. Ce faisant, Henri est l’un des 12 joueurs du Tricolore ayant réussi cet exploit de graver son nom cinq saisons consécutives sur le convoité trophée (en compagnie de Dickie Moore, Jacques Plante, Jean Béliveau, Doug Harvey, Bernard Geoffrion, Tom Johnson, Claude Provost, Jean-Guy Talbot, Don Marshall, Bob Turner et son frère Maurice).

    RICK MIDDLETON JERSEY RETIREMENT QUOTES BOSTON BRUINS VS NEW YORK ISLANDERS Thursday, November 29, 2018 BOSTON BRUINS ALUMNUS RICK MIDDLETON On what this night means to him… It really is hard to put into words. I’ve had four months to think about it, and I hate repeating myself, but honestly, I believe it is the biggest honor that certainly a retired athlete can get in his career, and the fact that, in the last six or seven years, I’ve been seeing that it’s not out there; nobody’s wearing it. All of a sudden, it happened. In July, a phone call in July; I never thought it would ever happen that way, but I just have to thank Cam [Neely] so much for doing it. He started it six or seven years ago. It culminated tonight. On if he ever looked up at the rafters and wondered if his number would be there some day… Oh sure. You know, I didn’t know a lot about them, so when I got the call for this, I looked up Dit Clapper. I didn’t really know a lot about – he was the first guy to play 20 years in the NHL. He had a great career, and he played two positions and made the all-star team at forward and defense. Sometimes the guys who are way back, you don’t look at, but I’m so proud to be just a part of the 10 guys that are up there. On how emotional it will be… Well, I’m not emotional because I have to get through my speech, but I think, if it’s going to happen, it will be when the banner is going up.
