"CA NA DA! Ok so we're partial.
This is just too good. Another example of how a talented
webmaster can take a little-known subject and make a smashing
website. The information is outstanding, and the presentation
is just as professional. The NHL might want to give this
webmaster a buzz when they decide to revamp their site.
The Flash movie of game highlights was one of its high
points. Summit hockey fans will want to make this their
homepage; we give it our own equivalent of the Conn Smythe
Trophy – the Raven Silver."
