Well, I have the same first and last name as my father and grandfather but I have a different middle name than them, so I'm not a junior, and bristle whenever someone calls me that (so now you have more ammo if indeed you ever need it). Confused the living hell out of the old lady at the voting booth handing us our ballots because he IS listed as a junior.
If my parents had decided to give me the same middle name I'd have been the 5th. Ugh. That's why, if my wife and I ever have kids and we have a boy, my first name is OFF the table.
Also, that's why Dubya was never officially a "Jr." either. He was just "George Walker Bush" and not "George HERBERT Walker Bush." Go figure.
Way more information than you probably ever wanted to know!
In short, I'm guessing John Stevens has a different middle name than John Stevens.
Good point. Hadn't thought of it. I'm too busy trying to figure out if the Isles truly have any shot at a playoff spot. Possible? Yes. Likely? Nope.
Realistically possible? Nope.
Remaining games:
3/30 @ Flyers. Flyers are 2 points behind the Isles & will be fighting like hell to climb up. They're always tough for the Isles to begin with.
3/31 vs Devils.
4/2 @ Buffalo
4/4 @ Nashville. Good chance for revenge. Fuckers beat the Isles & then lost to the Bruins Fucked the Isles twice.
4/6 @ Hurricanes, who are also always tough for the Isles for some reason.
4/8 @ Devils.
4/9 vs Senators. Hopefully by then the Sens' playoff matchup is set & they rest key players.
5/7 on the road, which is probably good for this team, since they've been better on the road lately. 5/7 are also non-playoff teams, but so are the Isles, so that's not necessarily much of a help.
Sportsclubstats currently has the Bruins at 74.1%, Bolts at 24.5%, Isles at 10.9%. Hurricanes at 6.8% and Flyers at 0.2%.
