Yeah but what would the score have been if they hadn’t made the OEL trade?

14-1, and McDavid would've immediately demanded a trade out of Edmonton.

Can he play defense?

Can he skate?

He absolutely owned OEL and Forsling to set up the game winner last night.

Pens rookie John Ludvig managed to knock himself out with a big hit in his first NHL game last night. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

It looks like Ludvig got Faksa's helmet in the face on that hit. Weird

Pinto officially suspended 41 games. What a loving dumbass.

I'm wondering what he actually did since the NHL is claiming he didn't gamble on games. Leaking lineup decisions or injury reports perhaps?

Something I just noticed perusing San Jose's roster, something Canucks can tell you is a very bad sign, is that the Sharks' top PP defenseman is apparently Kyle Burroughs. Burroughs doesn't have a point so far.

Bit of a falloff from Karlsson, there.

People in Seattle didn't understand why I was so cranky they traded Soucy in for Dumoulin. But I knew then, and now Canucks fans know too. You don't get some magnificent goal scoring d-man, but you do get someone who is responsible with the puck, can skate, and takes a good position while defending.

Soucy made Tyler Myers look presentable on the ice, which is as close to a miracle as exists in the NHL.

If getting rid of Myers meant taking in Sbisa 2.0 (I dont know who this is but for the sake of argument lets just say Luca Sbisa found a time machine and got young again), would you do it?
