Remember when Igor was considered the best goalie in the NHL and signed an outrageous contract?
Paying these goalies so much money hasnt helped. Igor, Swayman, Blackwood. All came crashing to earth after signing their deals. In Swaymans case it turned that room against him.Remember when Igor was considered the best goalie in the NHL and signed an outrageous contract?
Montreal aint losing that game.Rags are done. If Montreal beats the Wings tomorrow the East will be set.
Mackinnon taking the last 4 weeks off caused this.Kucherov with a casual 3 point night and is tied with MacKinnon again.
Kuch with the tie breaker as he has more goals, too.
This one’s done, IMO.
Mack doesn't give two f***s about the Art Ross or the Hart. He only wants one trophy, err... Cup.Mackinnon taking the last 4 weeks off caused this.
Avs need to call up Steinberg so he can serve out his 2 game suspension during these last 3 meaningless games.
Maybe also get McNoris some reps on D, cause you way G and Manson be looking, you never know.
I think hes fantastic and going to get better. I think he went on like a 7 game goal streak earlier. I know this because guy in my league kept bringing it up that he drafted him with the last pick haha.Byfield might not ever be an amazing player, but holy f*** he's going to have a highlight reel compilation when his career is done. Just scored GOTY today.

Just ludicrous hand-eye skills here. There have been some crazy goals scored this year, but that is f***ing Daredevil reflexes.
Got an elite superstar winger and arguably the best NCAA FA in history as their franchise defenseman and still couldn't do shit with it. Not to mention they somehow developed a legit franchise netminder right after the previous franchise netminder (whom they squandered in criminal fashion) retired.Good....They deserve it.
Imagine having no problem to attract every f***ing star from UFA or trade and still win nothing in over 30 years.......
Potential JT Miller drama is the least of their concerns. Lafreniere took a big step back, Panarin went from 120 to 80 points, Igor is nowhere near the franchise goalie that he was before signing that contract and Fox is looking like a middle pairing guy.Got an elite superstar winger and arguably the best NCAA FA in history as their franchise defenseman and still couldn't do shit with it.

First overall and second overall pick, also a 7th overall and 9th overall going back to 2017...didn't come up with shit. And no one try saying Lafreniere might yet still figure it out--he's good, but not the franchise cornerstone they needed him to be.
We might be seeing the last of John Tortorella (I doubt it though), maybe Lindy Ruff, but I also wonder if we're seeing the end of Peter Laviolette. Some of these guys can only be recycled so many times before they just finally peter out like Alain Vigneault did a while back.
Lastly, only a matter of time before there's new J.T. Miller drama. I don't envy the next coach who's gotta head in there.
So does Laviolette.Potential JT Miller drama is the least of their concerns. Lafreniere took a big step back, Panarin went from 120 to 80 points, Igor is nowhere near the franchise goalie that he was before signing that contract and Fox is looking like a middle pairing guy.
I highly doubt everyone fell off a cliff at the same time.
Drury has to go.
