Can’t help but feel bad for Sid.

1 goal + 2 assist so far today, but the Pens blew the lead late in the second period allowing the Leafs to score 2 goals in the final minute.

5-4 TOR after 40.

The Penguins are absolutely horrendous.
If he doesn't want to come to the Avs to play with his buddy MacK, then f*** 'em.

Meh, he chose this path. He knew what he was getting into by re-signing in Pittsburgh.

After winning the Four Nations I think he's happy to ride off into the sunset putting up points, playing for Team Canada at the 2026 Olympics and likely calling it a career in 2027.
 
NHL Instagram page showed Zadorov and Lohrei attending USA/Canada final.

I miss Z so much, just his personality is awesome. Guy was so proudly cheering for Canada lol.
I think it's just the way his face is so expressive. I don't know a single person who doesn't like Zadorov. I know tons that don't want him on their team.... but they all would love to catch a game, split a pizza and drink some beers with the dude.

I know nothing about the guy. But I happen to believe that his face has a certain amount of "innocence" about it, that belies what might be a really fun night on the town. Maybe not as crazy as partying with Nuke... but I'm pretty sure I'd have plenty of laughs with Big Z.


Goalie goal... Kinda.

Sucks... but that might be his last game in the NHL. He just showed up his HC, who wanted "one" goal more than anything else left on the bucket list. :sarcasm:

Just kidding.... If I remember Varly took a record from Roy (most wins in a season with 41) and he was okay with it. Oh wait... Varly went from 41 wins to 28 > 27 > 6 > 24 > 20. Turns out maybe Roy wasn't okay with it and Tonya Harding'd him behind closed doors.


THe idea of joint custody and them swapping back and forth every season until both their contracts are over sounds like such a 1982 solution.
 
Kadri gets hit turning, Canes score, Kadri rips the ref and takes a Mack like unsportsmanlike penalty.

Good stuff
yeah watching that game - I had forgotten how much the refs hate him and let the opposition get away with tons against him.

Don't know if he's still constantly getting kicked from face-offs...

Another Rempe suspension incoming.

Elbow through the head.


Shit for brains

You can actually see in the second part of the replay that he’s getting ready for the elbow but then tucks it back in. Probably thinking « elbow time! Awww shit, can’t hold out the chicken wing from this far away. Let me tuck and flare it back out »

That’s probably giving him too much credit.
 
The battle for the last west wildcard feels like a fight on the short bus.
I'll be honest, I'm getting vibes of CMac handing the team a retained Eller and saying f*** off for the remainder of the season, here.

It's just too hard for a GM to fight both the holes in his roster and a HC who refuses to to use the tools handed him. There is a major disconnect and I'd rather not see us lose any more assets until something a little more permanent is done about the apparent difference in vision between the GM and HC.

Calgary gets a point, leaps Vancouver for WC2, for the time being.

We can kiss any chance of Kadri goodbye.

There are literally no 2C options other than the Islanders trading Nelson.

Maybe the Blues with Schenn.

Absolutely nothing else.

I don’t want to hear about Zacha, Hayton, etc. These guys aren’t available.
