Nice run by McDavid and crew, stopped at 16.
Edmonton was looking to tie the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins for the longest NHL win streak.
After the start they had and a coaching change.
Funny how that works.

Looking at this, remember that the Canucks were terrible last year. The Oilers fired their coach after 13 games. Even St Louis is clinging to a WC spot after replacing their coach with an interim.
Detroit and Philly have past us in our conference. Numerous teams in both the east and west have improved too.
I don't like that remembering 😕

Oettinger is stopping everything and Power thinks a backhand muffin to his catching glove has a chance. At least he hit the net.
Power would do well to work on his shot in the off season.

Cozens looks the best he has all year tonight

The reasoning is there are fewer teams in the United States in the NHL than any other professional league. I think the league believes the US can support 30-32 teams. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibilities either, but I’d like to see them pump the breaks before going to 36 teams, which to me is the most logical number left for a while.
I know it's been said that the league believes that the US can support more teams I just can't see where the revenue is going to come from to do it.
Never mind, apparently 42% of the global value of the NHL comes from outside the US.
Danni Moore, wrote this for Ampere Sports:
"The National Hockey League (NHL) has the smallest following among the four major sports leagues in the US and is followed by 17 per cent of US sports fans, according to Ampere’s Q4 2022 Sports Consumer survey."
Hockey ranks eighth in the list of most popular sporting competitions, college football and basketball regular seasons, college football playoffs and March Madness all rank above it.
In terms of media rights, the NHL will bring in $625 million for the 2023/24 campaign.
That is equal to 33% of MLB, 23% of what the NBA receives, and only 5% of the value of what the NFL gets.

The owners are like Pepé Le Pew chasing that poor female cat. They are absolutely insatiable in their desire for $$$ and will use any means they can to open that cash register. The easiest way, expansion fees. It’s probably the only way some franchises make money. The league is a disgrace and will probably fold in the next few decades.
They're gonna ruin it with greed. There's just not enough of anything to go around.

I mean it’s what these media sessions are for. Meaningless drivel to satiate some inane need to hear them speak. I’d prefer to do away with all the nonsense but this is the environment we designed.
He's just gonna blah blah about blah blah blah and that's what we're gonna hear. Blah blah blah.
No plan to replace Jack. No plan to make the playoffs, nothing.

I was banging the table for him or a guy like him, 4-6 years ago.
He could probably still provide these guys with some leadership.
Beloved Leader and Captain Kyle has exactly zero cups and 24 playoff games to his name.

He's baaaack again this week.

I'm hoping that Brandt Clark breaks loose in LA.
Probably wouldn't matter since Adams won't trade for him.

It is until the Sabres do it and prove otherwise.
I'm a patient fan I'm just reaching the end of it.
I get that all situations are different.
Not everybody has McDavid and Draisatl like Buffalo could have.
