Seattle isn’t so good that Chicago should have less than 5 shots over halfway through the game.

Weird night with a lot of teams struggling to put up shots.

Yeah, Engvall and Liljegren both scored ... weird.

Oilers blow a late lead ... okay not weird.
Oilers win in overtime with Draisaitl and McDavid setting up Nurse ... okay not weird.

Some teams are surviving off 3 on 3 OT. This rule changes worked out really favourable for teams with only 3 good offensive players. It kills teams bad at 3v3 OT and higher depth/defensive teams. It doesn't make sense to design a team good on 3v3 because in the playoffs it's not played.

The NHL needs to go with 3 point regulation wins.

The Oilers have 5 regulation wins in 17 games. They have almost as many OT wins (4) as they do regulation wins.

The Bruins have 5 regulation wins in 18 games.

3 on 3 is a cheat code for the Oilers. Just get the game to OT.

Everybody talks about the refs out to get the Leafs meanwhile Dallas was awarded the cheesiest penalty shot I've ever seen.

Every game I watched last night was a blowout. Two of them had a goal scored in the first minute. There seems to be more blowouts this year than in the past.

It's almost like teams fall behind early a couple goals and give up.

I guess once it becomes too hard to win it's not worth trying. That's a life lesson I didn't learn until I was a lot older than these kids. They probably figure they're better off saving their energy for the next game when they have a chance again.

There's no worse feeling in the world than clawing your way back only to lose by one goal.

Losers with a loser mentality. They'd be happy making the Stanley Cup finals even if they didn't win. Then the excuses would be all about how the refs robbed them.

Nobody f***ing cares why you lost.
