Joyous.
Oilers really do look like a hockey team again.

The Vegas game was 60 minutes of good hockey; didn't watch this Jets game live, but I see the penalty killing streak got broken.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
Stars steal another point in a game they never deserved to get through 60 against a less talented team

the Pts/GP(<30% XG) is off the charts in Dallas!

I kind of hate my team even though they are near the top of the standings which I'm pretty sure is crazy person thought.. I just see no evidence to suggest any other result than getting run over in the playoffs by the first team that has players that can outskate Jani Hakanpaa, Esa Lindell and Ryan Suter (probably most of the likely playoff teams, maybe not Minnesota if they face them again)

That’s a suspension for Smith.

Not really because it’s the NHL, but that’s the most boarding you can do.

i honestly had to look it up because I know I lean on the side of defending hits but all I heard was this hit was a 5 and a game:

and was incredibly confused. but then seeing the replay and it's definitely the ref's fault (and Luke's for not Protecting Yourself At All Times, Touch Gloves):

that's such a late whistle, jeeze!

I think that’s probably 5+game for boarding without the icing call too. It’s a lovely hit and it’s lifting him up so he goes flying into the boards.

I too like a good hit, but that wasn’t one of them. Hathaway took a bad angle and it’s his responsibility either way to make sure he’s not pasting anyone dangerously into the boards. He should know that both Hughes weigh a combined 127lbs and will go flying like a kite on a windy day.

Don't look now but the Coyotes just beat the last 3 Cup champions in a row and look like they are starting to put it together. I've watched a lot of losing Coyotes teams over the year and this group just looks a little less frantic. Also nice to see they finally made a choice in net, who woulda thought picking the guy that is 8-3 over the one that is 2-8. That is one good thing the Coyotes have going for them, they know how to develop goalies. First Keumper, then Rantta, now Ingram seems to be the real deal. Hell, I'll take credit for Hill too, why not?

Still unsure if they are a playoff team or not, but it makes me feel good to see deliberate winning instead of happening to win every now and then.

I watched it on mute but he came to a stop and turned to face the boards when McAvoy was already at the goal line, so that probably only gets called because of what had happened previously

If the Flames can continue to play entertaining hockey while selling Lindholm and Tanev (I actually wouldn't mind keeping Hanifin around given his age range/reported deal on the table, and he's been pretty good this year, maybe finally turning that corner) then that's cool. Also if the Oilers can start to lose again that would be cool because it was way funnier

Yeah their GF % is quite bad too. They sure seem like they're due for a plummet but I just watched the Devils give up 48 shots to the Flyers so it's not like the teams behind them are world beaters


Also man does Ovi look toast this year.

Agreed but you'd also expect a team with deep playoff aspirations to handle that game way better. Their 5v5 numbers aren't bad but they're a clear step down from last year.

Don’t disagree that they’ve been far more vulnerable defensively, but they also haven’t had a fully healthy lineup all year (and won’t for the foreseeable future). Fortunately they’ve had big time contributions from Luke, McLeod (who knew?) and Holtz who seems to be putting it together.

(cope) losing dougie is obviously a downgrade no matter what, but they've got the offensive depth to keep scoring anyway and I remember some really lazy defensive zone plays from him this year so maybe they'll actually be fine
