  1. is the game in Anaheim by any chance?
  2. Eichel sits one point behind O'Reilly who is due back from injury this week.
  3. Sure the goalies are taller, but smaller gear means there will be more net to shoot at than there is currently. If that gets us to more 6-7 goal games than 3-4 goal games, it's a success. However, my primary concern is that changing goalie equipment size won't change how the game is played. Sure there will be more goals per game, but does that mean the game gets more exciting to watch? You're still going to have the same "get the puck back to the point, shoot it through a crowd and hope it finds the net" type of strategy. To open up the flow of the game we need 90ft wide rinks (5ft wider), and maybe enforce illegal defenses (like basketball).
  4. ...and he's ours because we lost to ARI in OT last season.
  5. Smaller pads are coming, the league has prototypes ready (chest protector, pants) and are looking to test it out during the World Cup of Hockey in September, quite possibly enforcing it as early as next season. Equipment has grown larger, chest protector and pants are ridiculous these days. Streamlined gear will open up more holes.
  6. It was a great day for Buffalo sports, no doubt about it! Hopefully a sign of things to come.
  7. They could do all sorts of stuff to massage the odds. Maybe if you win the 1st overall pick, the next year your odds drop by 50% of whatever your odds would've been. It's not rocket science. Or you just let the Oilers keep winning and rename them the Edmonton Oners
  8. GM Meetings underway Monday. https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-general-managers-meetings-begin-monday/c-279602028 I like where they're going with the goalie equipment. Would be interesting to see the new streamlined gear for the World Cup in September.
  9. I like the security guy's reaction in the background. He steps forward to watch the goal, steps back then looks around like "did that really happen?".
  10. sup

  12. risto screwed the pooch
  13. again 4th line with 3rd pairing... wtf against MTL second line nonetheless
  14. That fight sucked. Wrestling match.

  16. nice DD, put the 4th line out there after a goal.
  17. I liked Larsson on the PP. Is Reinhart out?
  18. Did Eichel try to pass that Reinhart?
