I wish the NHL didn't stagger start times so that way the Oilers home games wouldn't start at 8-8:30 PM local.  a neat cape posted:How on earth did Calgary not score in the last three minutes last night? Didn't they have a 6 on 3 at one point? Flames are bad, and didn't have a 6-on-3 because Gulutzan didn't pull Elliott until the first penalty expired because Gulutzan is bad.

I would argue that all that tells you is other countries are catching up in skill, not that Canada is getting worse. Because Europe and the US have definitely been cranking out some really good players in recent times.

That's exactly what it is - our program hadn't really changed in 20 years and became complacent. There's a whole bunch of changes coming over the next several years to try to catch back up to what Europe in particular has been doing. Their program is noticeably better for young kids which keeps more people playing the sport and helps increase the pool of athletes. The association my kids are in has seen numbers decline about 5% a year for the past 4 or 5 years because younger families get fed up with cost or excessive commitment or whatever else

The bigger problem is that most of the Canadian teams are managed by morons

The Habs wasted the talents of Price and Subban with Therrien and Bergevin's fuckery, they probably could've easily won the cup

But yeah this team is still dangerous and Columbus doesn't seem to have an answer right now for what they're bringing. They have moments of looking dangerous but they can't seem to keep that pace.

Columbus has done pretty well possession-wise and I don't anticipate things being any easier in Columbus in that regard. Pens are doing a great job blocking shots and clogging the poo poo out of the middle though. Columbus hasn't done a good enough job going east-west to open up lanes.
