Not sure if anyone else caught the St. Louis- Las Vegas game tonight but that had to be one of the most exciting 5 minute OT I can remember. Just an awesome back and forth after LV scored the tying goal at the end of regulation. Just a great game. Lehner is still bad at shoot outs or at least in this one.

I watched from mid-3rd period on.  That OT was played like when 3 on 3 was first started.  Now it’s just a game of puck possession and hope for a good shot.  Nothing is more infuriating than watching the team with the puck in OT, skate BACK into their own zone in order to change-up. 
 

One other note...Vegas still has the annoying “monster truck” PA announcer, but it is even more comical that he is doing his screaming act to an EMPTY arena.  😂

Oy. That's an odd one. The thing about "personal reasons" is that it gets used in all kids of situations, so it's hard to read what happened here.

Anything to do with that sexual harassment suit involving the former assistant coach?

Doubt this was planned at all, or Botterill, Fitzgerald and Guerin would not have taken jobs elsewhere.

My events company turned virtual during the pandemic so instead of in person events, we are doing Zoom events with athletes, singers, chefs, comedians, etc..

Last night we had 2 events with Morgan Rielly and Patrick Marleau

Attach is a link from NHL.com from a article by Dan Rosen. He put together a power ranking from a number of hockey writers. What's notable about it is that the cumulative rankings place 6 teams from our division in the top 16. The Sabres have a challenge but not insurmountable to qualify for the playoffs.

Did Rutherford resign at least in part because ownership cancelled a proposed Letang trade?

In your constant and creepy zeal to poke me, are you really willing to leave aside the issue of who's more qualified to run a hockey team, Mario or Terry? It's kind of a no-brainer. You should be able to get it.

Watching the Loafs - Eulers on HNiC and the Loafs are wearing their "reverse retro" unis.  Amazingly, they managed to #### up blue & white unis.  Rather than staying blue & white, or going w/ a cream shade like the BJ's have for their 3rds, they replaced the white w/ a dingy gray.

Short of Nike-fying them with neon green or neon pink (which could actually be on such a special plane of bad, it might actually work), they really couldn't have made them worse if they tried.

Impressive, Adidas, impressive indeed.

I like the new Tron Edmonton jerseys way better. By a lot.
