Re: Oilers

There was some odd statistic or metric discussed in the Puck Soup podcast (which now has Sean McIndoe of Down Goes Brown, since Dave Lozo left the podcast). Don't recall what it was but it had to do with when McDavid was on the ice vs when he was [more]

Re: Goals created

It is an odd stat. One that rewards a high number of assists, but not as equal to a goal, like 'points' does. You could have Crosby's goal numbers, but with a low number of assists would have a 'goals created' below your goal [more]

Re: 9 days!

Teams have games through Wednesday before the all star break -- odd that the Bruins don't have another before the break, but … they don't.

Re: Boston vs. Toronto

The islanders are not so relevant for that first round matchup. Its a good bet there will be another Boston Toronto series for the 2-3 Atlantic matchup. Hard to see Tampa falling, but .... could happen, and yes Buffalo or Montreal could slip into 3rd [more]

A healthy Bruins team is starting to reassert itself and showed that against Buffalo (and recently Calgary). Buffalo was itself short Eichel. A couple of observations on the game.
