Sanheim had 30.
Risto had 23.
Seeler had 18.


Johnson and Zamula 12.
I wonder if riding the best players 30 minutes a night in November will lead to another collapse late in the season.

Who cares I guess, Torts isn't going to stop running his horses into the ground in the first 3 months of the season chasing as many wins as possible.

Erik Johnson talking about scratching Leo Carlsson last year. And said Celebrini might sit this year too. That’s the way it works these days.

Give it 5 years and he’s AGM.
Yes, truly the Flyers, Ducks, and Sharks are the league mavericks, setting the trends the rest of the league is envious of.

Sharks were 5-2 going into this game, so they weren't the pushover you'd expect, but 2nd game of a back to back and it showed in the 3rd period. Weird game, Sharks got some lucky bounces, while the Flyers did everything but put the puck into the net.

Couts line was totally dominant, I don't think they're changing up anytime soon, TK could easily have had a hat trick, Tippett hit another post, Couts missed a wide open put back.
The Laughton line was bad, Brink is trying but he's on the wrong side of the ledger too often.
You can see why Richard has never stuck in the NHL, that speed allows him to start plays, but he never seems to finish them.

Michkov took a really stupid penalty. But then scores in the shoot out - he should buy Ersson a few rounds for covering for his F-Up.

Cates looks faster this season, and Edge agrees, his top speed has been below league average, but this season 22.43 to league average 21.78. But his 20+ bursts are well below, so he added speed last summer but is learning how to use it - this game it looked like he figured it out.

Andrae was a beast, still makes some mistakes and loses too many battles, but since when did he have those dekes and moves? Yeah, Torts hates young players, that's why he gave Andrae 25 minutes - maybe he only hates young players who don't play well? Andrae got a shot and is running away with it. Still not convinced he's top 4 material, but he's on his way to making me a believer.

Ersson came up big in OT, Flyers are 5-2-2 with him in the net.
