You could have just said "Sorry I jumped the gun on you there."

Anyway, my point was more pointed at the shitty D playing in front of this poor sap.

@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac:

Okay, technically "shot" is different in that it doesn't include shots that go wide or get blocked, but standard hockey lingo just refers to a team allowing X "shots", where X=shots on goal.

The Philadelphia Phantom is when you sit on your hand for awhile and then manually relieve yourself. Ben Frankin invented it after he designed bifocals.

Well, they have Jack Johnson and Anton Babchuk.

.....oh, wait. Both demanded trades, one got it, and the other is playing in Russia. More like Jim Rutherford needs to do a better job not pissing off talent.
