It was nice of the Leafs to end the previous year by thrashing the Colorado Avalanche, proving that they are indeed the best team in hockey.

Looking over the standings to see how crazy Bobman's toxx was. Even if you assume the Penguins and Islanders (or Devils and Caps, whatever) will both collapse so the Atlantic can send 4 teams, the Sabres still need to get ahead of the Red Wings while also not being caught by the Panthers or Senators (yes the Senators are only 3 points behind them, and IMO will be dangerous if/when they fire their incompetent coach). But the silver lining I just noticed is that the Sabres have weirdly only played 34 games, they have 2-3 games in hand on everyone else except the Red Wings. So that does help a lot. But there are a lot of teams they have to catch. They're 6 points back of the current 3-way tie for 7th-9th place in the conference, and 6 points is actually a ton when you're chasing multiple teams and also have multiple teams right beside you. Put another way even if you assume all 3 games in hand are wins, that still only puts them into a 4-way tie for 7th-10th. The Metro is a gigantic clusterfuck. The Hurricanes are the clear #1 and then it's a quagmire of shaky teams. The Caps' position (3 points ahead of the PIT/NYI/NYR tie) is more precarious than it looks because they've played 39 games where everyone else has played 36 or 37. So in reality it's basically the Canes, the Devils (freefalling the last month and on the cusp of sliding into the Metro swamp), then the aforementioned swamp, a 4 way battle royale between: - The ancient Capitals - The even more ancient and also lately freefalling Penguins, - The Islanders, who have no business here but are just kind of semi-competently chugging their way toward the playoffs amid the madness around them, and - The Rangers, who have no business here (in the opposite way!) but whose coach appears to have lost the room so they could go either way. Probably 5 of the 6 will make the playoffs, though the Sabres could make it interesting at least. You can continue to put me down as not at all trusting Lindy Ruff. I know how great the Devils are playing as per every known metric. I still think there's a big chance they slide out of the playoffs. It's a fuckin' bloodbath in the Metro. But maybe that's partly some wishcasting because I don't want to admit the weakest of these 5 teams is the Penguins.

It's definitely interesting in the East, and while Buffalo is super fun and I'm happy for their fans, this is probably going to just be a season where they finish with like 90 points but miss, yet are a serious threat to add for next year and challenge for a spot. I think the Islanders are going to go hard after a Patrick Kane type because it's Lou and he always wants to make it in. A team with their lineup being where they are is inexplicable to me until you realize Sorokin has been the best goalie in the league this year. I still would not be surprised if they skid in the second half and are out by the end. Washington is tough, they seem to be on fire right now and actually have excellent goaltending, so I can see them making a WC spot. Out of NYI/BUF/WSH they are most likely to be in imo. The Rangers are way too talented to miss and I think they'll sort their identity out or replace Gallant, and both things will mean lots of wins in the second half. I know people are still skeptics on NJ, but considering they are out FOUR key players, including two of their excellent top four defensemen, and are going to add at the deadline (all signs point to Fitzgerald adding a scorer like Duclair or Meier), and it's really hard to look at the amount of talent and not consider them to be better than Washington and the Islanders at this point. They're going to make it and I would bet money on it if I were a betting man.

The Sabres should have beaten the Bruins in regulation at TD Garden yesterday. Zacha is still at the top of the face off circle when Marchand jumps on to change for him. Marchand is collecting the puck for a breakaway at the Sabres blue line and Zacha still hasn’t made it off the ice. 7 Bruins on the ice at the time of the goal. Lmfao https://twitter.com/evanmarinofsky/status/1609284202108780548?s=46&t=zYIL2fu9u0CbShbhHzi6NA Edit: was really satisfying to watch our 21 year old center strip Bergeron of the puck in OT leading to the game winner. https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1609292895999205378?s=20&t=J776fb8SzHLcUBotRGN66g th3t00t fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jan 1, 2023 |

I think there are going to be some loving lunatic trades near the deadline as all the teams in the Metro swamp breathlessly bid for Kane, Chychrun, and whatever else is available. The Caps, Pens, Islanders, and Rangers are all 100.0000% going to be active buyers. Plus the Oilers are doubtlessly going to continue to be the Oilers. I think at least one of them will wind up trading their unprotected Bedard lottery ticket. This is a great year to be a seller.

In the 2022 calendar year, McDavid has over 143 points. That would be good for 22nd all-time in a single season. He's currently on pace for 155 points this season. If it wasn't for COVID, McDavid would be closing on his 7th consecutive 100-point season. That would have put him second all-time.

Can't believe Mario Lemieux created covid to keep McDavid from taking his record. If the events relating to covid reflect the state of the league, I need to rethink whether I want to be a part of it.

I read this and thought "that can't be right, 100 points in the 80s was like 75 points now" but far as I can tell from looking up likely guys... it's right. Every guy you'd think would have done it (including McDavid!) had at least one perfectly placed injury or strike season preventing it. It's just Gretzky. Who did it 13 consecutive years. Because he was Wayne loving Gretzky.

The only players who have 7 100 point seasons total are Gretzky, Lemieux, Stastny, Bossy and Dionne.

Crosby probably would have hit 9 in a row if not for injuries. He was pretty much a lock to hit 100 points if healthy prior to the 2014 season.

Yet he has only five 100 point seasons total, and three of them are just barely (100, 103, 104--but the 104 led the league). Kinda the point of the exercise--Gretzky not only dominated, he also had a level of durability and consistency that's unmatched. I know it seems impossible to believe now but Crosby is going to be greatly underrated by hockey fans of 50 years from now.

Fitz has been focused on players with years of team control, Kane is a no-go for multiple reasons (not sure if you meant Kane or just being buyers in general). Gotta think Grier will pull the trigger on a Meier trade at some point, makes no sense to sign another Hertl-like deal.
