- 8. Answers to some frequently asked questions:
-
- Q: Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs?
- A: Most of the team during the 40-50's was made up of people who lived in
- and around Montreal. Hence they were called "Les Habitants" (natives of
- Montreal). This was then shortened to the Habs.
-
- Q: Why is the Montreal Canadiens logo a large C with an H within it?
- A: In 1914-15, the Canadiens logo consisted of C with an A within it to
- signify Club Athletique Canadien (CAC). The next year, CAC no longer
- existed and it was changed to what it is now to signify Club de Hockey.
-
- Q: What is the most informative hockey publication?
- A: The Hockey News is preferred by most North American hockey fans. It is
- a weekly journal with up-to-date info.
-
- Q: How does a 5-minute power-play count in the penalty killing stats in
- the NHL?
- A: If X goals are scored, then the team gets credit for X goals in X+1
- chances.
-
- Q: How is +/- computed in the NHL?
- A: First, +/- only applies to skaters. Except for a power-play goal, when
- a goal is scored, each skater on the ice for the scoring team is given a
- +, and each skater on the ice for the other team is given a -. Short-
- handed goals do count for +/-.
-
- Q: What is the five-hole?
- A: The space between a goalie's pads. There are five major scoring zones:
- (1) upper left corner of goal, (2) upper right, (3) lower left, (4) lower
- right, and (5) five-hole.
-
- Q: What is the meaning of throwing an octopus on the ice?
- A: This tradition began in Detroit in the 1950's when two best-of-seven
- series were required to win the Stanley Cup. Every time Detroit won a
- game, an octopus with one less arm was thrown on the ice.
-
- Q: Who was the first woman to play in an NHL game?
- A: Manon Rheaume, a 20-year-old goaltender, became the first woman ever
- to play in an NHL game on September 23, 1992 when she started in net for
- the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning in an exhibition against the St. Louis
- Blues. Rheaume played the first period before 8,223 at the 10,400-seat
- Expo Hall on the Florida State Fairgrounds and allowed two goals on nine
- shots. She left with the score tied 2-2, although the Lightning ultimately
- lost the game, 6-4.
-
- Q: Who is Gil Stein and where has he been?
- A: Stein is an attorney that served in the John Ziegler administration
- for 15 years as an NHL vice president and general counsel. He was born in
- Philadelphia in 1928 and is a former prosecutor. Before joining the NHL
- front office, Stein was vice president and chief executive officer of the
- Philadelphia Flyers and president of the Maine Mariners of the American
- Hockey League.
-
- Q: What is the richest contract in NHL history?
- A: Mario Lemieux, the superstar center of the Pittsburgh Penguins, signed
- the richest contract in NHL history, a seven-year deal believed to be
- worth about $42 million. Lemieux will earn between $6 million and $7
- million a year, nearly twice as much as any other player in the league.

-
- For field hockey discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.sport.hockey.field.
- For skating discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.skate.
-
- Some sites get another hockey group, called clari.sports.hockey. c.s.h
- consists of the UPI feed for all UPI news articles that are related to
- hockey, including game results, summaries, scores, standings, etc. Much
- of the information in the NHL team news section comes from this newsgroup.
-
- The rec.sport.hockey Frequently Asked Questions posting is posted semi-
- monthly, usually on the 1st and 15th of each month, during the hockey
- season. This file was originally created by Tom Wilson, who posted it
- during the 1991-92 season. It was taken over by Mitch McGowan for the
- 1992-93 season.

- Welcome to misc.consumers.house. Many of the questions that come up here,
- quite possibly including yours, have been covered before.
- A collection of discussions on various topics is available from the
- misc.consumers.house archive server. To learn about the archive server, send
- an empty piece of mail to:
- house-archive@dg-rtp.dg.com
- (You should be able to just reply to this posting.)
-
- If for some reason you have problems, send mail the address that you get by
- substituting 'admin' for 'archive' in the above address. (Why do I state
- this in such an odd way, rather than just writing out the address? I'm
- tired of people carelessly sending mail to the wrong place!)
- If you have to send mail to 'admin', be sure to include every conceivable
- piece of information that I might need to reply to you, up to and including
- a phone number where you will accept collect calls. If the daemon can't
- figure out how to get mail back to you, I probably won't be able to, either.

- (303)443-9413, or via E-Mail at librarian@iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu.
- The following is provided by Dave Shaw, the InterWorks Librarian. This
- is the last full list he posted (#10) plus the latest updates (to #13).
- I've removed the detailed descriptions for space; see the README
- mentioned below for details. ]
-
- The following is a list of new (or updated) entries (since my last posting),
- of UX-related software on the InterWorks library node (iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu--
- 128.255.18.10). Note that everything is available via anonymous ftp-- in
- "comp.hp"). The README there contains a complete list of the available
- software. Nearly all of the following is also available on a CD for
- $75.00. For ordering information contact Carol Relph.
-
- All the following is suitable for the 700 series machines, and I
- have started to verify that. Executables are included in some packages.
- If you take a package and find that you must build an executable (or do
- some porting) for your machine and/or OS level, I would appreciate
- hearing about your work and receiving a copy of the executable you built.
-
- Note that I have had very little involvement in the writing or packaging
- of any of the items on the list-- they are the result of the work of many
- other people. In particular, note that the available binaries have not
- been compiled by me. If you are concerned about running binaries compiled
- by someone else, build them yourself with the available source. Also note
- that individual authors may include text regarding the rights of others
- to use and distribute their code.
-
- Thanks to all the contributors.
