Vegas also scores in waves from multiple lines which served them well in the playoffs as they were rolling 4. They had/have a very underrated 6 strong on D, too. Their actual talent on D last season was very apparent Edmonton just refuses to surround McDavid / Draisaitl with depth scoring on other lines. Toronto too is becoming increasingly one-note offensively - which is trouble as you point out particularly because they struggle locking down on D - now they are finding it difficult to overcome that with raw scoring even in the regular season

I guess KA did?

Ya it’s definitely more about when than who, when it comes to nhl scheduling

We have a designated fighter. It’s Cozens, he drew the short straw

I too find it a bit odd, but if the results are there from the team at large, I won’t argue with it. They can run in the mold of the USNTDP for all I care, the only thing that’s relevant to me is that the expectations don’t change - it’s pretty much my only argument I care about. They don’t get to undercut their own artificially by willfully going super young at every opportunity. When a young player goes in, I choose to believe it’s because they believe it’s cause that player gives them the best chance to win

Granted I think any game is winnable in the NHL but who’s the 5th winnable game you are referring to between Carolina and Boston? Carolina I guess?

There have been plenty of possibilities we’ve heard about, and presumably a lot we haven’t, over the course of a long 4 seasons. I think it’s pretty clearly Adams wasn’t very enticed to upgrade beyond what we have - whether he did a good enough job on this front as far as this season goes remains to be seen: results will speak for themselves, so far I think we are about mid-pack in goaltending output? So a solid C

I think I’ll be at the Jets game next Friday

Make it stop

Fine. Call him RJ then if it means so much to you to call him by the nickname some of the players do it’s a “whatever” thing

Good for Alex Tuch. The board can do better imo

Absolutely

The quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray just a little..

Good to see this guy find his feet. Sky’s the limit

Doesn’t mean you do lol Do I have to call him “Krebsie”? For now on, Levi should autocorrect on this forum to Mr Beast

That’s a no on that nickname I’ve been a fan of this crest far longer than these kids (by large multiples in most cases) the RJ nickname is off limits Full stop

This made me laugh

As good a reason as any There’s no cheerios. We’re all eating All Bran until we are firmly in a playoff spot. Not too high, not too low: steady All Bran

This might actually be right. Like in seriousness we played better today with 11 forwards cause we simply double shifted the two good lines all third period. I question the sustainability but a win is a win and other guys can hopefully get going in the meantime 6-6. Look, we’re on to Carolina

Who, Johnson? Pretty good when I noticed him. The Bryson thing is just a stat

Ya the Bryson thing is def not causation

We are so back

Tuch special

Well they carried a bad Philly game into a second bad Philly game haha

Granato with it down to basically 2 lines, in the 3rd during the second of a back to back surely we can run at this pace all year
