Re: Edmonton Oilers!

I think players just don't want to go / play there.

They should be able to fill their depth better than they have ... but they can't seem to.

And lost on the 18th 7-1, giving up 5 goals in the 1st period, at home - with that "D",

That was awful. Watched the first and ... a few minutes of 2nd, and I was done.

Re: Holy Cow indeed, the Wild have gone insane

Had not seen the cheap shot. That is bad. This is why fighting never leaves the game as teams have to be able to respond to that IMO.

As for the goal. Yes, it went in and yes it was under the foot. But the call on ice was no goal so the [more]

Re: Ghosts -Jan.13

This is the US version, right? I watched the first and some of the 2nd season of the British original. It was OK. Have not engaged on the US side and may not.

Re: Teddy Balkind…

In youth hockey a teammate got sliced just below the shoulder pads, above the pants. Lots of stiches (and blood). Scary

Trend in the East

A > 0.610 points percentage is a 100 point season. 8 teams in the East are on this pace. It looks like one may need this to qualify. In the West 'only' 6 teams are on this pace.

Honestly I expected more of a bunched up slugfest in [more]

This play was ridiculous, and is fully a result of the goaltender having to wait for the puck to enter it.

Re: Don't look now

It would be less of a surprise if it was the young highly touted studs (Kakko, Lafreniere) that were leading the charge (like Mathews or McDavid did right out of the gate). It is the moves they made outside the top picks ... and goaltending.
