The Oilers broke the Flames brains and then in turn had their brains broken by the Knights. Who will break the golden knights? Is there a hockey bane?

A Canada-US home-and-away would be pretty sweet. I'm sure Sweden-Finland would be the same.

Vancouver-Seattle, Toronto-Buffalo/Detroit, or Montreal-Boston with a day in between (since there's no chance they'll go b2b) would be cool.

Do a summit series so Canada can take down the evil American empire like they did the evil Soviet empire.

I love how American infrastructure is so lovely that a team moving 6 miles causes that much difficulty in getting to it.

I hope they get taxpayer money meant for roads and trains to build their private for profit arena.

Cam Talbot seems like he has been around forever, but this is only his 10th NHL season.

Maybe because he's currently on his 7th team.

It should just be 2 points for a win, 0 for a loss.

Overtime is 5 on 5, but the nets are twice the size.

No, other way around. Nets are those small ones they use during all-star activities, but no goalie.

Or maybe put a target up by the goal light that activates multi-puck.

Anything is better than dudes just circling back into their own zone every time they get spooked.

This seems like some bullshit.



They have more money not playing for them than they do playing for them. 5 players currently on their roster are signed for next year.

that's 62% of the cap for 5 players.

That means half of the team won't even be able to afford to live in Toronto.

On november 11th, the Oilers were tied for last in the league with 5 points

On January 11th, the Oilers are 15th in the league

It doesn't take a stats nerd to see they're going to be in first by the trade deadline and well into the negatives by the end of the season.

Oilers at 11 wins in a row.

I'm beginning to think that maybe spending $54m on your first powerplay unit, and $875k on your goalie might not be a winning strategy.

They had to close the deal before the all-star game, just to gently caress with the league.

The worst part about about Reaves being on the Leafs this year is having to hear his puffed up takes the day after he did gently caress all on the ice

He's last on the leafs in +/- despite also being 23/25th for TOI

I don't know what his Corsi or SV%GxA/π^2 is, but by actual statistics, he seems bad.

Scheifele did a very similar thing to Jake Evans and got 4 games, but 3 of those were play-off games and i don't know the exchange rate.

Dubas probably doesn't have the authority to fire Sullivan.

Isn't he every level of management between owner and coach at this point?

Fire Sullivan, name himself coach. Then fire the owners, name himself owner. Then fire Crosby, name himself captain.

That synergy will create goals.

I imagine it's two parts to Sullivan.

#1 they wanna "respect" him by not firing him mid season and letting him see the season through.

#2 their head coaching target is busy on a team going to the playoffs and it's unlikely they'd be let out of their deal.

But Mike Babcock isn't coaching anywhere right now.

This year is very likely going to be the best year of Matthews' goal scoring career, and he'll never score this many again. It's all downhill from here.

He'll probably be at a goal per game in the playoffs too, and all 4 will be highlight reel goals.

Too spooky.

Now move the team somewhere that doesn't suck.

Atlanta, Utah, Houston, just move them.

Anywhere is better than Toronto.
