Oilers' fans must be super happy with their new GM's offseason so far.

I'm going to say early 70s (74?) based on the Pens and Caps logos alone.

1978-79
The only season with a 17 team NHL, if I'm not mistaken. The Cleveland Barons merged with the North Stars in the offseason.

Rasmus Ristolainen (Buffalo) just set the Finnish (and very likely the world) record for a speeding penalty. He was clocked at 81 kph in 40 kph zone - and he will have to pay the fine of - Euro 120,000!!! :lol:

The reason is that in Finland, speeding fines are based on a percentage of the offender's salary (and Ristolainen makes $5.4M/year). Long live Finland - if the fine is to serve as a deterrent (and it should), this is truly the way to go.

BTW, Ristolainen beat the record of Nokia executive Anssi Vanjoki who was fined Euro 116K for going 75 kph in 50 kph zone on his motorcycle.

12 of the 17 logos are roughly the same today. Wonder how that percentage holds up vs other sports? Baseball logos seem to be relatively conservative with half the logos just being a letter.. but I bet football is under 50% from 40 years ago

Stamkos and the HHOF. Yay or nay? Is there anyone with his projected goal totals not in? Should playoff ninnies be eligible?

Already has more points than Guy Carbonneau. That's enough reason for me to say yes.

He's got six top-5 goal finishes and four top-5 point finishes at the age of 28...he's the worst playoff player of his generation, but things would have to really go south for him...

"a week after the playoffs"

It sounds like his information is older than what's being reported now.

I can guarantee that I've done 50 in a 25 before. Many times actually.
