(That's an old David Chokroun line, there. I guess it's original to him, anyway.)
High temp today, here: -3. Dewpoint then: -5. High dewpoint: -5.
High temp today in TO: -5. Dewpoint then: -6. High dewpoint: -6.
Current temp outside our door: -1.5. RH: 54%
The receiver will only pick up the signal if the transmitter's on the outside of the door, which is not optimal, but whacha gonna do. I think the unit may still be retaining a bit of heat from when I put it out there, too. We'll see what it says tomorrow.
Not sure how to account for the higher temps here today, but it's been tilting that way sometimes over the last week.
Here are some Interesting Facts about goalies: Domink Hasek has had a save percentage of .930 or better in five seasons. Three other goalies--José Théodore, Marty Turco, and Roberto Luongo--have done it once. No one but Hasek has done it more than once. Hasek has had a save percentage of .920 or better in seven seasons. The runners-up, Patrick Roy and Marty Turco, have done it three times each.
Notice that Martin Brodeur's name does not appear. Prior to the NHL Apocalypse, Brodeur was probably most widely regarded as the goalie of the generation after Roy. The numbers, as you can see, don't bear it out. Hasek has, in fact, been the statistical Barry Bonds of the NHL. Now, this year, there's no question. As was eminently predictable, the smaller pads and no-play zones have killed Brodeur, who's a positional goalie and a huge part of whose game was puck-handling, and haven't in the slightest hurt Hasek, who's a reflex goalie and a terrible puck-handler. And that, kids, is why I ranked Hasek way ahead of Brodeur, and the better part of why I'm leading both my leagues.
That and neurotic obsessiveness.
