I can see how the refs might say that Siegenthaler's knee into Joseph's thigh caused Joseph's leg to move that way given the position of the bodies when they make contact. I'd be pissed if I were a Devils fan but I can definitely accept an argument that it wasn't a distinct kicking motion.

i've come to the conclusion that "goals" are far too random a metric to be determining the outcome of hockey games. i think we should instead award points proportionally based on the infallible Deserve to Win o Meter

luckily that won't be the case going forward, probably

They’re five points above Montreal with two games in hand and six points out of WC2 with three games in hand. They’ve won six in a row and went 11-3-2 in their past 16. Their vibes are off the charts.

Edit: #1 scoring team in the league and the #2 PP.

I think it's funnier when the Sabres are bad and never get any better. I know eventually they will probably be good enough to make the playoffs, but I want this era to last as long as possible because I'm petty and I think it's funny that 5-6 years ago a Sabres fan told me they'd be better than Boston "very soon" and every year it hasn't happened.

That’s stupid. They’re fun as hell to watch rn, the youngest team in the league averaging four goals a game. They’re incredible.

this was actually the third time they lost at home, they still haven't lost at home in regulation though

It barely registered with me that they even have the winter classic this year until the last week or so when they really ramped up the coverage. It's just not that exciting anymore and I don't know why we're playing the Penguins instead of someone the Bruins have at least a little bit of a rivalry with.
