It's NHL.com. What were you expecting?

Kopitar still being the top penalty killer at age 150 is f***ing comical.

Oilers PK shutdown everyone in the playoffs minus McDrai.. LAK is like 2 generations of thinking behind the rest of the league... slow boil the prospects, play the vets til their knee cartilage liquifies while they clean cement off their blades in between periods

The channel nobody gets.

You can get it, you just have to upgrade to next level premium on Directv that adds 40.00 to you bill.
Glad I don't use them anymore.

Ugh, Kaliyev just cannot catch a break. I hope he is back on the ice soon.

I stand corrected. "Break" was exactly the right word.

Helenius looks HUGE. He seemed to be going easy on the guy on the fight. Very exciting to have a guy like that on your team.

Was really intrigued by Cole Davis. Hope it's not the last we see of him.

I dunno man. I'm not trying to be a wet blanket but I don't feel like Helenius is a great fighter. I like that he's unapologetically aggressive, but he is going to get absolutely tooled by NHL heavies. He's also an absolute black hole offensively and not this huge defensive C everyone wants him to be. Theoretically he'd be an ideal 4C but I don't think he's as developed as it's being made out to be unless I'm missing some mammoth improvement in his game.

I think on a roster that will be as offensively starved as ours he stands to be a punching bag. I'm rooting for him, I'm just not seeing an effective NHLer quite yet. But there's no shame in that, he's 21.

Hell this was his headshot last season haha, gotta love that

Sometimes just 'looking the part' will get you a long ways in this sport. PLD has made 86M off it.
