Cam has been a healthy scratch multiple times now this season. retirement is imminent after this season, i’d assume. weird signing by Tampa honestly.

@ThirdPeriodTurtle
I found the highlight vid for the goal specifically, clicked on the "embed" option and it said "link copied" I pasted the link in a post and hit "post reply" and voila!

Thanks!

Nyquist must be reading the boards and liked our enthusiasm because he just did it again against the Blackhawks:



Not as flashy of a version but we'll take it.

@majormajor I remember you not being super high on Michkov in his draft year. Have you watched much of him so far?

Yes I've been watching. He looks great. Still a bit underwater 5v5 (only on the ice for 5v5 goals for in one game this year) but he'll get better at that. And as I expected he's a cheat code on the PP. I wish we had him on our PP. His battle level is much higher compared to last year and his draft year so that part does raise him up in my internal estimation.

I wasn't as high on Michkov relative to many but I still had him top 5. I'm not at this point thinking that I would put him ahead of Carlsson, Bedard, or Fantilli. It might take a playoff battle between those guys to really sort things out. I'm not of the opinion that any of them are generational players (the Bedard hype is also out of hand) but that's a sensational top 4.

Utah deserves "blame" here but this is a f***ing clinic on faceoffs by Wennberg.

According to Sportico's valuation of NHL clubs, the CBJ are the lowest valued NHL club at $1.06B (with a B). That puts them a hair below Ottawa, Winnipeg and Buffalo. Habs, Rangers and Leafs are all $2.9B+.

And they did it with the goalie pulled, I think that's remarkable and noteworthy. Down 4-1, pull the goalie and eventually win in OT. It's quite a feat.

It's pretty crazy that 20 years ago CBJ and MIN paid $80M each and now they're worth a billion. Nice appreciation, wild even.

Thursday Night scoreboard watching tonight (in a good way).

Go Kraken over Leafs
Go Caps over Habs (thinking wildcard) either way no OT please
Go Canes over Bruins (again thinking wildcard) no OT please
