SHUT UP AND PLAY HOCKEY
I've said before, I hope OV loads up on ENGs to make up for all the games he's missed because of lockouts/covid.

That said, is there a count of all-time non-ENGs?

Yeah good luck with that Sully. I feel like even before Tage became the monster he is now he always scored on the Pens. I remember even then thinking man this guy's got some mitts

Even if you memory holed his early years as a rush scoring monster, I don't see how you could look past his physicality.

Gretzky owns the ENG record of 56 I think they said during the game last night. So subtract that from his 894. Ovi now has 51 ENGs.

this is why I’ve always been bullish on him breaking the record. the guy’s mom was a star player for the Soviets in the 70s/80s and runs the current Russian Olympic women’s basketball team, he’s the #1 most important sportswashing athlete for Putin, and the NHL’s testing is basically nonexistent. he’s gotta be on like Batman & Robin Bane levels of gear. i just wish we knew what they were so I could give some to Lafrieniere. kid needs a connection.

e: i think there’s a real chance he gets close to 1000 goals, depending on if he ever goes back to Russia. less likely now.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
Logan Stankoven (said to be 5'-7", likely shorter than that) is well on pace to play for the Stars next season to say the least, and he has that bowling ball energy where if you watch him in the WHL he hammers these 6'-5" defenseman out of their skates when they least expect it. Not sure if that will translate to the NHL

He would 100% be on the team this year except the owner of the Stars also owns the WHL team that he happens to play for and that team is hosting the memorial cup this year so the Stars sent him back down as a ringer to help them win.

Random thought but is Clayton Keller underrated? He seems awfully good for someone who has to play for Arizona.

I have long suspected that Florida pads its stats. Tell me how it's possible that a franchise so irrelevant always manages to have a couple 90pt guys on the roster that they end up trading for a haul before they struggle mightily to attain those same heights?

I think that mostly applies to a certain era of the team in the 2000s. Jokinen, Booth, Bouwmeester. It really was just getting more ice time than they probably deserved in a soft division. And then traded after their best years so there was always going to be a drop-off.

There were guys like Nathan Horton and Michael Frolik who were more or less equally productive after moving.

N: Engvall eats a 1 game suspension for the high stick from last night's leafs/kings game.

V: Engvall gets suspended for something that shouldn't have even been a major penalty. I can think of 2 times this year bunting has been hit in a similar way and there wasn't even a penalty call.

Koopa Kid
Aug 21, 2007



It’s an open secret that Parros treats players that aren’t supposed to be tough differently from players whose livelihoods depend on being tough, if Engvall was a defensive defender in front of his own net that play would be beyond notice but he’s a soft winger who got into an altercation at centre ice. And, to be honest, the first person to be aware of that distinction should be Engvall himself, it was a dumb series of events that he’s absolutely responsible for and he shouldn’t be surprised to be disciplined.

I think DoPS is dumb and terrible but I completely understand why Engvall is eating a game here.
