@BonMorrison They might work a little different now but I think I fixed it.

I copied your original as a backup in case something goes haywire.

I am trying to figure out how it is possible that the Oilers are allowed to keep D Alec Regula as a non-roster player, but the Bruins were not? Did the Bruins just give the player away needlessly? This situation never made any sense to me. Can anybody shed some light on this situation? Thanks!

I think the Bruins just tried to sneak him through waivers early, before he even was ready for an AHL conditioning stint, assuming no one would claim him.

Looks like formatting broke again, will try and fix today.

Edit: Got it, we good now.

Canada's lines seem like a missed opportunity.

Marchand - Crosby - MacKinnon
Marner - McDavid - Reinhart
Cirelli - Point - Stone
Hagel - Bennett - Konecny

Re-ignite the 2010s magic of that first line. Two grinders who can play the cycle and a gamebreaker who can create space.
Second line is just offensive dynamite with players who play complimentary, 200 ft games.
Third line is a pure shutdown line.
Fourth line is crash and bang forechecking nightmare--which no other team will be able to ice.

Also, everybody but Marner in a natural position, and each line has both a LHS and RHS who can take faceoffs.

I also find it interesting that Buffalo fans have said Dahlin is Top 10 (if not Top 5) defenseman in the league, and that he's even better on RD than LD--yet Team Sweden has him bottom pair LD, so they can play Brodin top pair on his wrong side and even Karlsson higher up the lineup.

And then later in the game he was on RD as they shuffled the pairs around as Brodin stumbled his way into that bad GA. Just about every Swede defenseman played with every other, including Dahlin on the right with Forsling as part of their 2nd period push.
