Matthews has more goals than San Jose.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Have to think tonight is make or break for Jay Woodcroft. They get pummeled in this one and its curtains.

 

[BobRossColton]

Hopefully mcdavid helps my fantasy team..ha

 

[The Kingslayer]

Matthews is going to get another hat trick tonight lol This is an insane scoring pace hes got going to start this season.

Kucherov keeps trucking along. 1 point away from league lead in points now.

At 30 years old too.

I think we're about to see an era where the high skilled guys can still play at a high level in their 30's.

Up until the last few years, the guys in their mid 30's were from the previous era, that didn't take care of their bodies, or diet the way players do now. Then the game started getting faster, and faster every year, and most weren't able to adjust.

Going forward, the guys in their 30's will be from this current era, where they take much better care of themselves, and they're much better skaters than the previous era.

I think we're gonna see more guys like Stamkos, Kucherov, Crosby, and Malkin. Crosby and Malkin are the perfect comparables in this regard for Nate and Mikko IMO. Mikko is built similarly and highly talented like Malkin, and Nate does the same off season training Crosby does.

Leafs take the lead now after being down 4-1 lol Jonas Johansson yo

Yeah he’s brutal. You can cover up for him for a period of time and even some games he can be good. But he can just leak goals at times.

 

[BaconNater]

Tampa fans have to be sick of these comebacks against the Leafs, Jojo man

 

[Foppa2118]

So Vegas shuts us out 7-0, then blows a 2-0 lead to Anaheim, and gives up 4 goals in the third?

These adrenaline dumps in hockey, for lack of a better term, are real. Avs seemed to stop playing after they hit the record for road wins.

Sounds like the same happened to Vegas after they dominated the measuring stick game against the Avs.

You put all your emphasis on achieving a goal. Then you achieve it and there's a natural drop in urgency to your game. Avs just need to find a way to regain that.

I watched those highlights, eichel scored a nearly identical goal against Gibson as he did Georgie.

Tampa really shouldn't have turtled with Joey JoJo in net.

 

[The Kingslayer]

If the Oilers lose tonight does Woodcroft get fired tomorrow?

 

[GeoRox89]

I don’t suppose both teams can somehow lose this game?

 

[Metallo]

How do Bruins win with a center line of Zacha, Coyle, Poitras, Beecher?

I haven’t been convinced that Poitras is t jus. Bergeron using voodoo to inhabit a younger, less broken body

 

[The Kingslayer]

Cale Makar used to be a better goal scorer than Quinn Hughes. No longer.

 

[Balthazar]

lol at the SOG yet its 1-1

 

[CharlesPuck]

The Canucks are a menace.

And Campbell stinks

Cale Makar used to be a better goal scorer than Quinn Hughes. No longer.

Yeah needs to find other teams stick blades more often.

Weird time for this when that was going wide if Desharnais doesn’t put it in his own net

Time to face facts. Quinn Hughes has finally surpassed Cale Makar as best dman.

3-1 Nucks. Another point for Hughes. 1g 1A in 15 minutes. Woodcroft is done lol

 

[Balthazar]

3-1 Canucks and shots are 19-7 Edmonton

Man both Oilers goalies are completely mentally broken beyond repair. I've never seen goaltending single handedly tanking a team that much before.

The Canucks are what the Avs should be

 

[the_fan]

Can we get McDavid when he asks for a trade?

 

[Bender]

That breakout started by Ian Cole where Suter makes the longest uncontested cross-ice pass in NHL history only to get the puck back in the slot with zero oilers anywhere close for an easy goal was absolutely hilarious.

Drysattle is garbage defensively.
