Lately I've been watching some more hockey over the last few weeks, just random games both conferences. As someone who has drastically reduced the amount of hockey I watch since about 5 years ago, I think it's just peculiar how almost every team looks and plays identical now. The only outlier I've seen is Las Vegas. Probably has to do with analytics pointing all towards the same model of play everyone ends up converging towards, like in other sports. It's honestly a bit boring.

Analytics do nothing but harm.

The Netherlands
Oilers with two last minute game tying goals this week, followed by an OT win. 4 points instead of 0.

Just watch how often Vegas scores in the final 5 minutes of a game when trailing/tying. Thats ridiculous.

NYR v NJ.. JQ starting. Laviolette healthy scratched Krieder. Wonder if Lav is having a Dry Island redo to get the room back. Weird scene in NY.

Just needs a tiny mustache to complete the look
