Gotta love Anderson so far. I'm donating to AARP.

The better you play, the luckier you are. I dunno how it works but it's true.

19,070 x 11 = $209,770 without tip.

Apologize if this has been answered, but does the NHL allow a team to, say, retain 3-4 million of Jack’s salary for two years but not the remaining years? Or do you have to retain for all of the contract or nothing. Couldn’t find it on Cap Friendly or quick perusal of google machine.

I had read about a month ago that insurance covers 75% of Jack’s contract. It was seemingly a reliable source but cannot guarantee it. Makes sense though.

UPL looked like goalies playing against us and Asplund's goal looked like a goal we let in. Hence, 1-0 and not 0-1. Who says goaltending makes a difference?

You did leave out that the two previous years 13s were Dustin Brown and Alexander Semin, two very good players

You guys as a whole know 10x more about the hockey than me, but... i watch every game. Skinner is such a puck hog that it benefits him and the team to not be on a line with a bunch of other skill players. He should have 5-7 goals this season. That line is often close to our best line. Cozens and Vic with Staal seems like a very nice line and great for Cozens future. Sure, Skinner isn’t going to score 40 goals but he gets his PP 2 time, Ralph seems to put him on a shift with Jack once or twice a game, and he gets to do his thing and hog the puck, often keeping control in the offensive end. This may not be so crazy

He mentioned the Bills. I wonder if he and his parents are Bills fans. His dad played in CFL so surely football fan. Taylor moved to Kingston as a teen. Went to high school there. He and his parents live in Toronto now. They easily could have been Bills fans.

Dahlin is tied for 18th in the entire league in scoring. Not defensemen, everyone.

I have seen Dahlin struggle a few times of course, and not have a very good game in last two, but I think he has only been on the ice for two or maybe three goals in five games. I think it was zero in first three, two in fourth, and none tonight. And has seven points. I understand he’s messed up a bunch of times but if that is messing up, we dominate.

Enjoy every sandwich.

I know Olofsson was really small in his draft year but how does he last until round seven? He’s a sneaky good passer like Reinhart, he wins battles, he kills penalties, his shot is not only quick and hard but very accurate. He’s coachable. What was not to like? Methinks fans will jump on the bandwagon because he’s going to score goals with Jack and on that PP, but he’s an all around player.

That's because you are now living in 2006, some kind of hot tub time machine thing.

Mojo is good at the hockey. I thought maybe Skinner wouldn't get his chances not playing with Jack but with that PP and playing with Johanson he seems like he will be fine. And then there is Jack-Reinhart and Victor. Sheesh.

IIRC Skinner was not on the first PP line last year early in the year. If he is there, he will get his Jack time and opportunities to score. I thought he had a couple chances but not nearly as many as he normally does. But we had two PP? Maybe three? Plus a lot of PK that screws up the ice time.

Johanson looked really good. Joker had numerous transition passes. Olofsson has an all around game, he can really pass. The depth on D stood out. Mitts/Sheary/Vesey can be exciting. Dahlin is sick. And the fourth line all played well, and well together. Really different look. A lot more confidence. Hutton held it together.

I kinda like Thompson with Larsson and Z. He's fitting in, and will probably make him a better player over time. Later he will have to play with playmakers but I like this for now.

Pilut has to stay up. That dude has got it. He may not, of course, but he should. He's a ridiculous passer and doesn't look as lost on D or in his own end as I expected early. Love his style and play.

Yep. Really fun hockey to watch. We went toe to toe with them. 14-7 shots but I was always worried the Leafs would get a quick odd man rush. We have to score. The Rasmii look great, which is nice to see in this obviously huge game, on national TV, after a couple disappointing one goal losses. If anything, that period made me feel we are a legit team.

Two of them.

I said it was a great goal. I was thrilled with it. I meant only that Housley was now much more likely to stick with Risto on the PP1 which I think most everyone here believes he shouldn't be on, even with that goal.

That (great) Risto goal is going to reward bad behavior.
