Stipulating that McDavid is gimping around with a bad hip, it becomes not at all surprising for Edmonton to struggle to make the playoffs

Yeah he's definitely working through something but the team should still be a lot better than it is. And I don't think the teams in front of them are good enough that Edmonton couldn't make the leap, the West is weaker overall IMO. I think the Devils are in the tougher position but they also seem too good to miss.

it's kind of their thing this year.. when the other team starts pushing the Stars just sit back and watch.

The Stars have been horrible in alot of 3rd periods this year getting absolutely crushed on the shot clock pretty regularly and for the first few weeks they managed to win those games by playing turtle style and having their goalies bail them out over and over again but now the goalies are starting to let them in and the team is stacking L's.

I had thought that Pete DeBoer changed that around after years of the full prevent defense going up in the 3rd period whenever the team entered with a lead under Rick Bowness and Jim Montgomery but it seems like they are back to their old ways this year and arguably even worse than they were under Bowness for this tendency.

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but the Canucks have already built enough of a cushion, especially in the Pacific, that they face an uphill battle to their usual landing spot a few points outside the playoffs.

Weird how every goalie that plays for DJ Smith sucks until they go to another team and immediately post a .930sv%.*

Owned last night when the Islanders put out their 4th line to start the game and the arena announced the Sens were also starting their 4th line and you could just feel the excitement leaving the building lol, insane how much fan goodwill this new regime is pissing away

E: why did they let Hamilton walk anyways? He’s not my favorite #1 type but he can actually play defense (as long as it’s not too physical) and put up lots of points

Hurricanes owner has some weird mix of wanting to compete but also can be cheap. They didn’t want to pay him what Jersey offered.

My Caps-loving friend wrote this to the tune of "Hang the DJ" by The Smiths. It's yours now.

quote:

Panic on the streets of Gloucester
Panic on the streets of Kanata
I wonder to myself
Could this team ever be good again?
The standings they always slip down
I wonder to myself

Hopes may rise on the ice dear
But, Debrincat, don’t want to play here
So you go down, to play in Hockeytown
But there's panic on the streets of Stittwville
Goulbourn, Rideau, Cumberland
I wonder to myself

Burn down the whole team
Fire the coach named DJ
Because the games that they miserably play
Do nothing to help me with my life
Fire the coach named DJ
Because the games they miserably play...

In the standings they always let you slip down
In the Atlantic basement they stick around

Fire DJ, fire DJ, fire DJ…

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
8 goals on how many shots??

I don't think I have ever seen a goalie have a <.500 SV% in a full game.

Tampa is the first team to score 8+ goals on 15 or fewer shots in a single game.

Also they took a shot away, so it was 8 goals on 14 shots on goal. Absolutely absurd, and may never be broken.

I was in the shower during the third period, did the Sabres lose?

But seriously, they haven’t been able to pull off a comeback like that yet this year. Girgensens got injured and didn’t come back for the third and suddenly the Sabres offense took off. Coincidence? Idk he’s been awful, and this is coming from someone who has defended him for years. The injuries are hopefully going to force the Sabres to call up someone good???

Edit: UPL is very good, he had another great game. Both Penguins goals came on ridiculous turnovers directly in front of the net. How many great performances does he have to have before they will declare him #1?
That was a very Sabresesque 3rd period collapse by the Pens. Feel like they owe the Sabres royalties or something for stealing their act. Karlsson with the own goal is blatant copyright infringement.

Sabres were a completely different team in the 3rd. Instead of being half a step behind the play, they were half a step ahead all over the ice. Literally night and day.

It’s too bad they can only play well like that in 6 out of every 20 games.

I don't understand why he's in Cleveland, he is obviously too good to be in the AHL (like 14 or 15 points in 9 games or something? and he's 21?) and they need the help in Columbus.

My theory: Pascal Vincent and the Jackets org are trying to punish the young players for pushing back on Babcocks bullshit. Also the coaches think they need more grinders, play more d, get pucks deep instead of fancy offense like Gaudreau and Laine.
