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.

Orr I think has 6 in a row, and then his career ended.

I like when the Flyers are good, because even when they're good they're still really bad. They're chaos and that's what we need.

Jake Guentzel has hit 40 goals twice so I think Tage can do it regularly.

I have watched Boston play two games this year, and in both games they lost to the Ottawa Senators, so my conclusion is that the Bruins are not good.

Yeah but you don't have to play the Senators in the playoffs.

Boston is a blue city, dummy. Being racist is bipartisan.

As much as we lol and haha at them, Toronto is absolutely a contender. 4th best 5v5 xgoals, elite finishers, goaltending is decent this year.

I am not sure why, but did the Bruins know they had a goalie this good? I thought Swayman was headed into the season as their number one? Or was it always going to be shared duties?

Last season, they started off getting roughly even starts but Ullmark played his way into the starter position.

Ullmark is making $5mil so they definitely didn't just sign him to be a backup though. They must have seen something in him because that was nearly double his previous contract with the Sabres.

It feels like only yesterday the bolts were popping out new 20 goal scorers from nowhere but perhaps the last of the Yzerman well has dried up

good god did that man put together an incredible scouting staff

They're still doing that. Last season had Colton.

It may be drying up now though. Their picks since 2018 have a combined 45 NHL games and 6 goals.

Going back to 2017 adds considerably more games (198 more) but 16 goals. 2016 was when they drafted Colton.

Linus Ullmark is the fastest goalie to 25 wins in NHL history.

He has more wins than 17 teams in the league (and tied with 3 more.)

The trapezoid is practically the Martin Brodeur rule, and practically every goalie for several generations emulated Patrick Roy's style. Those two things should probably be taken into consideration.

They are the Citizen Kane of goalies.
