We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

Dunno if it would be worse to lose to Chicago or some team 8 ranks up who weren't even supposed to be in lottery contention, like, say, New Jersey.

e: didn't realize NJ was actually 10th worst, so they would in fact get the 1OA if they won lolol

Okay now I've decided I'd rather it go to NJ than Chicago.

I'm guessing for the first round the total combined TOI for Wilson and Rempe is going to be around 8 minutes. and their total combined PIM will be around 150 minutes.

I don't understand how the best defensive team in the league is considered a fraud.

I don't think the Jets are frauds. I think Bowness is a fraud and hope he retires after this season.

Pionk should not be playing 20 minutes a night. Appleton should not have played 60 minutes more at 5v5 than Ehlers. Connor and Scheifele should be split up much more often

You say that like Wilson has enough self control to not do something incredibly stupid just out of habit.

Remember when he was confused about getting suspended for swinging his stick right at somebody's face because it didn't even take them out of the game.

Here are the figures for some other models:

90 points for every team: 14
Exactly the same points as last season: 10.38

So @hockeyviz managed to do worse than the advanced algorithm of "copy last season's standings".

Wilson was entirely correct to be confused by his suspension being longer than the injury. The absolutely standard practice for the NHL is to suspend someone only if their incredibly dangerous acts actually result in a serious injury and those suspensions are usually weeks shorter than the injury the victim has to deal with. The fact that the circumstances were reversed is actually surprising even if that's how it should actually be in all the other cases, too.

Injury is a factor in length, recovery is not a factor in commutation, and the Bertuzzi example used was way more about pending litigation and potential charges than length of injury which has ruined the conversation on this for what, fifteen years now? Twenty?

Swinging your stick has always been considered a very serious offense in the NHL, and doubly so since Marty McSorely was convicted of assault with a weapon on Brashear.

Also it's Tom Wilson here, he's got a helluva rapsheet and will be getting no favours from DOPS.

I'm sure things will improve when Wilson's running the DOPS.
