That seems kinda sketchy, I mean I'd hope someone isn't loving around with concussion protocol for on-ice reasons but agree it's real dumb of the leafs not to have their own guy there to check it out.

The thought occurred to me but I think it's too cynical to assume it was done for gamesmanship, the Sabres were all over the crease and Andersen caught a lot of contact. Just seems crazy to me that the Leafs don't have a team doctor at every game.

I am amazed that every game has concussion spotters, but not a loving doctor to treat a visiting player. :psyduck:

It was a big dumb loss like this that caused me to panic and assume the Hawks were going nowhere fast in 2015.
I suppose now I'll guess it's their turn to Panik and go nowhere fast.

I was seriously just saying how I thought the Hawks were going to waste all their bullshit luck getting the president's trophy or best in the west, and now here's a loss by a touchdown and it's ok because now they'll just run out of luck and start playing like poo poo immediately. Why wait for playoffs?

Thanks to the Sharks falling apart down the stretch, there's now a 3 way tie for first in the Pacific between the Ducks, Oilers and Sharks. Oilers play the Ducks once more, and the Sharks twice more. Ducks and Sharks don't play each other. We could see the Oilers go from 29th a season ago to winners of a bad division. :getin:

Also the Oilers can clinch a playoff spot on Tuesday with a win vs. the Kings. Unbelievable.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Spring Break My Heart posted:

I don't think a goalie's going to win but excellent chance that no one breaks 100 pts and very good chance no forward except McDavid hits 90, no forward hits 50, etc., and that's usually the kind of thing that helps a non-forward win. I also think Burns for Hart is dead given both him and the Sharks cooling off.

I'd be pretty surprised if McDavid doesn't win it.

This got me wondering, so I looked up for comparison the last time a goalie won (2014-15, Price):
1) Price- 44-16-6, 1.96GAA, .933SV% (95.41% of vote)
2) Ovechkin- 53G-28A-81P (56.56%)
3) Tavares- 38G-48A-86P (47.07)

Dubnyk was fourth.

Compare this to a hypothetical Crosby/McJesus/Bob as it stands now:
Crosby- 42-40-82
McDavid- 26-62-88
Bobrovsky- 40-13-5, 1.99, .934

It's awfully similar, with the difference being Crosby and McDavid will finish with more points than Ovie/Tavares and Bob's numbers still have time to either improve or, possibly, slip. As you said, nobody's getting 50 goals and/or 100 points.

I agree but I think both Crosby and McDavid also have stronger cheerleaders than Ovie or Tavares had.

The difference being that the habs were dogshit without Price, and the Jackets would make the playoffs with adequate goaltending.

That was kinda cool because someone told Sid that Stamkos had tied him on the bench and then his next shift he took the puck and did like two full loops in the Islanders' zone trying to score.

This year it looks like he may finally stand alone with it although Kucherov and Marchand are still close enough that it's not a sure thing.

Actually he also said this:

“It’s a pretty common play,” he said. “I’d love to see it cracked down. It’s something that happens a lot. You don’t like to see guys get hurt. Obviously he’s an example that if you get it in the wrong spot, it can hurt. I hope he’s back soon.”

Though I'm guessing he's not unhappy he didn't get suspended for it
