I like the part where Boyle flinged the puck out of play so the Leafs could go back to even strength. Ben Smith wouldn't have done that.

A lot of those KHL (and AHL) guys would do better than you expect with enough TOI/opportunity. The NHL has gotten a lot better about populating bottom sixes with skill guys but there's still a ton of talent not in the league.

Man I wish there was a FA cup type thing for hockey.

I got deep into looking at the KHL the other night. I don't remember what sparked my interest, but it's mindblowing in the first round of the playoffs. vladivostok was playing omsk.

They're 6900kms apart (vladivostok is only 7400kms from vancouver). a 17 hour non-stop flight. So they would play 2 games in vladivostok. fly 17 hours on their day off, gaining 4 hours with the time change, play 2 games, fly another 17 hours on their day off, losing 4 hours on the time change, then they played tuesday in omsk, flew 17 hours wednesday, played thursday in vladivostok, flew 17 hours on friday, and then played again on saturday in omsk. That's gotta be unbelievably punishing.

there are 2 teams, zagreb and vladivostok that are 8283kms apart, meaning vladivostok is closer to vancouver than it is to zagreb. zagreb is closer to new york city than it is to vladivostok.

miami and vancouver are only 4510km apart.

The 3-in-4 game stretch where they didn't get a PP killed them. It just ruined it.

i don't know much but i'm assuming the KHL does sudden death over time for as long as it takes in the playoffs just like the NHL right? could you imagine having like a 3OT game in a series like that :stonk:

How many overtimes would a game have to go before it delayed the next one? Or, with the hours lost due to timezones, finish after the next one began?

It's probably a case-by-case thing, especially when leagues are going to have to already deal with things like weather delays, mechanical issues at arenas, etc.

I mean, Guentzel got a concussion, which is bad. But the hit is only dirty because a pass gets intercepted a moment before Guentzel receives it. Bad luck for Risto, but I guess this means Bylsma can't play him 30 minutes a night for the next few games.

Due to the scheduling change, the Flyers will not be icing any players born after 1992 in this game.

I'll take a point against the Caps given how last night's game went. Wasn't terribly pretty for either team tonight and shootout cheat code TJ Oshie was the difference.
