I am glad to see that my brief moment of absence was so troubling to you all. It is one that I regret, but one that could not be avoided.

I have chosen my next victim. These two losses have not set well with me, and I must warn you that I am as bloodthirsty as ever. Solve the clue and you save another life. If not, somebody dies.

The next kill clue requires you to have the most basic of hockey knowledge.

-Penalty given when blood is drawn
-Penalty given when blood is drawn
-Red lines at each end of the rink
-Officials who do not wear armbands
-Forwards who do not take faceoffs
-Minor penalty incurred when one player catches another with his stick
-When a player crosses into the opposing zone before the puck
-Middle region of the ice
-Legendary player of Detroit Red Wings
-Legendary player of Philadelphia Flyers
-Surface that hockey is played on
-Movie starring Paul Newman
-Condition that exists when goaltender is not in net
-Horizontal pipe that spans the top of the net
-Former Buffalo Sabres division
-Shooting the puck over the red line and down past the opponent’s goal line
-Former Sabres player and front office employee

I will be ever so kind to give you an identity clue as well. Don't eat uncooked chicken eggs.

-When a player crosses into the opposing zone before the puck- Icing

I think you mean offsides.

Im still thinking Bobby Clarke over hextall and lindros... I mean come on?

Would Lindy be considered front office though? I usually think of guys like Regier and Quinn - the management guys - not the coach, when someone says "front office."

This looks like a scattershot approach where there are tons of misleading clues. On the surface there are references to Ice, Cross, Adams, Howe (Howie). Like Dire Straits said, "two men think they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong." She/he can't kill everybody (at the same time, anyway). I was wondering if some of the answers to the clues are numeric. Penalty for drawing blood = 4, for example.

The duplicate listing of the first line is an error. Kindly disregard it, it should only appear there once.
