Toronto chokes as per usual. Selke Matthews and Marner in no mans land in OT
CGY looked like sh** too in their first period with a fairly full lineup. Lindholm slashes a guys stick in half and then gets open to make it 2-1

Fun little read from the CHED website.

With new NHL season just days away, hockey players recall eye-opening off-ice moments as rookies | Globalnews.ca
When Connor McDavid was a rookie in the NHL, he noticed a bunch of big numbers scribbled in the locker room one day.

I'm not sure which internal traffic gets jammed first after eating that thing. The blood getting jammed through the arterial highway or your ass getting jammed at the merge lane between the intestines and colon.
Traffic jam burger indeed.

Haha I was thinking something similar. I can eat a lot of junk but that is a bridge too far. Makes my chest hurt just thinking about it

If wee-boy Phillips can keep this up in the real season, it'll be a nice goodbye turd in the fLames' punchbowl from Sutter and Treliving on their way out.
What a shame that would be.

Pasternak playing defense like Helen Keller on that one.
I still don't think Phillips will be anything, and I kind of see him as a prototypical pre-season superstar, but having said that I would absolutely love it if he became a player and the "star" young prospects on the Flames all kind of fizzle out.

probably it would be hilarious if it were a Martin St. Louis situation all over again for the Flames lol...all because Sutter can't stand young players and wouldn't give them the time of day
imagine drafting Tkachuk, Dube, Fox and (possibly) Phillips in a single draft and only having Dube to show for it....ouch

I mean Tkachuk was in a package for Huberdeau and Weegar, Fox was apart of a deal that brought Lindholm and Hanafin in.
So it's not like they just have Dube.
Really that was the last draft in the past decade that their scouts earned their keep.

Flyers top prospect Michkov has ultimate revenge game as season gets back on track
Philadelphia Flyers' top prospect Matvei Michkov's season got off to a rough start through no fault of his own, but now he's back to showcasing his skills.
ca.yahoo.com
The most likely reason for his benching is the desire Michkov has demonstrated for playing in the NHL. That can be a no-no for Russian players in the KHL as Ivan Fedotov learned when he ended up on serving on a military base instead of battling for the Flyers' backup goaltending job last year.
I sure hope that wasn't the reason for his early benching and lack of time. Odd SKA is 6-7 and had no use for him, but Sochi 9-4 found room for him. At least for him SKA loaned him.
3 points against his old squad too lol.
Wonder if SKA ruined it for the KHL when it comes to signing long-term high end talents to long deals going forward.

Sure but they’d be better off with Tkachuk and Fox as part of a young core..
Instead of the core they have now

I still remember a few Leaf knob lickers in the media updating Twitter that the Leafs were bringing in another case of beer into the lock room in their 1st round stanley cup win lol

Pasta showing why playing with Bergeron his whole career was so important. Even last year. xGF with Bergeron 70%. Without 49%. Wonder how this season goes for him.

It will be interesting for sure to see how they do
They lost Bergeron, kreji, hall, bertuzzi from the playoffs

This making fiction of all the comments that Pasta scored a ton of goals and was better defensively than say Draisaitl. It was Bergeron all along and one of the best 200ft forwards in the game. Pasta looks like controller disconnected without him. Not that Pasta ever did much of anything in the playoffs either. Wonder as well how successful Pasta would be in the more physical WC.
Considering how quick they exited playoffs I don't think very well. Is it possible to lose a series in 3 games.
Big bad Bruins could be in trouble. What a clusterf*** Presidents Trophy season anyway. Typical Boston. Boston seldom wins it all. Without that one cup against Vancouver of all clubs Bruins wouldn't have had anything to count since Bobby Orr.

They just have a different aura down there. Bertuzzi looked like he scored a massive playoff goal with his celebration lol. Matthews too.
