lol i was about to comment about how it seems like Vegas is about a week away from playing themselves right onto the playoff bubble.. they got to sort some poo poo out.. I saw reports they activated Eichel from IR today so that should help keep them in it, but who knows.. they've had late season collapses driven by injuries before..

I dont know it will be Dallas finishing 1st in the division though.. Winnipeg has 3 games in hand on us and the tie breaker. It's hard to see Dallas doing that much better than Winnipeg the rest of the year to make up that deficit.

Someone is going to back a dump truck full of money to Sam Reinhart this off-season and sorely regret it when he never again comes close to replicating the 25% he's shooting this season.

Bowness absolutely refuses to split Connor and Scheifele despite the fact that they allow more goals at 5v5 than they score, and have for their whole career together. It doesn't make sense for a defense first team. They would be a much better team if Connor was on the second line.

The Jets would be 2 and 10 recently if they had an average goalie instead of the best goalie. They could very easily collapse like they did last year.

Yeah, it's always the risk they run with committing so much to Stone and Eichel. Though they've actually been sneaky good about getting younger the past two season.

It won a cup, no complaints, but they do now have to deal with two increasingly injuries guys on $10m/yr and full nmc. Be interesting to see what they do when Theodore's extension comes around, I can't see them going rebuild, but I do wonder how much longer they can keep spinning plates

Come home to Buffalo, sweet boy

He scored 33 goals in the COVID-shortened season when Buffalo was the worst team in the league, I think he’ll be ok.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
Reinhart is this season's Kreider, in the sense that he's a good goal scorer who is having an outstanding season.

The problem with Reinhart, though, is that he plays for Florida. And as I have said before, you can never trust any stats from Florida.

"...but usually that's exactly what it is."

Anyway all that suggests Fitzgerald wanted to fire Ruff months ago but ownership didn't let him, because he'd just signed an extension so it costs money.

This is Fitz's show. It has nothing to do with ownership.

I'm not sure this is the smartest thing to do. He's a good player but they also have issues on defense and goalie that they need to address now that we didn't really think they did. They need Holtz and Mercer to play like top 6 players and have that money to address defense.

Leafs haven't won a playoff series against Boston since before my dad was born. They have lost 6 series' since 1959.

But man, those Leafs teams of the 1940s. No one did it better. Love to look at a picture of Syl Apps every season after the Leafs lose again.

Luke has definitely hit a wall, which is normal for a D in his role at his age. He has been atrocious defensively and offensively he's very predictable and his production has declined.

He's gonna be a star but it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to watch from the press box for a game or two.
