It will be interesting to see what they do with his contract. They have already committed $4.5M for raises for Woll and McCabe. Marner will get $2-3M more. Tavares is having his best season in years so they could maybe get him for $6M if he gives them a big break. But Knies could easily get $6-7M in an offer sheet if someone was inclined to do so. He is the real deal. Will they bridge him or lock him up long term?

Cue Armstrong and the Blues to sweep in and offer sheet him.

Strange league standings. If you ignore Bettman standings and just add all W's and L's ONLY 13 clubs in the league have winning records. A full 19/32 clubs have more losses than wins. Not just a feeling that there seems to be so many shit teams in the league.

Also interesting that 5/6 top records in the league are in the West. Only the Caps are in there for eastern clubs.

Ya, wayyyy better. Great trade by Washington. They looked like they were shit and make so many good moves. Strome another, a guy people here thought was toast. Great draft picks and young talent contributing

People here and in LA hated Dubois. Said he was awful and a team cancer. He's not only rocking it for the Caps 2nd line he's unlocked the scoring of young Protas. Caps have the best production depth in the league. 6 players with 30 or more pts. They're the only Eastern Club playing well right now. Been an utter collapse in the East.

I wonder what Doughty would say about this: Warren Foegele 23pts +18 vs Kevin Fiala 22pts -11. lmfao. Fiala will never play 200ft hockey. Allergic to it. He just doesn't care about anything but pts and he's not even getting that.
 
Bruins getting beat again today against the Islanders, one of the worst teams in the league. What makes this worse is the Bruins still get every call, are allowed any hold, hook, dirty play and they're still bad.

On the 4-2 goal Marchand is hanging onto Lee for 5 secs, clearly holding, interference. Lee wins the battle couple passes later Lee scores undressing the entire Bruins club. Even with officials on thier side this typifing Bruins this year. Marchand was -3 at that point and invisible. This is in Boston.

The funk so bad there its like its Vancouver.

Oh Bruins tied it up and won their cup against the last place NYI. team and fans acting like this is some kind of legendary thing.

I know we were critical of how the Oilers required a late goal from Draisaitl to beat the Ducks, but Anaheim has beat numerous top teams lately (including TB tonight).

I’ve watched a few of their games lately and it seems like they’ve finally found some semblance of identity as a hard working team. They don’t really quit on games like they used to.

They also have a few of their young d men rounding into form, and Dostal turning into a starter helps too.

Their goaltending has been lights out, considering the circumstances. According to the sportscast, they are 4th in the league in saves over expected goals. And their coach has them playing fast and hard.

Which is Wierd. Dostal makes 825k per year. They aren't supposed to have this great goaltending bc they don't spend much on him.....

Fleury is the ultimate prankster. Guys will miss that goofy stuff when he retires.

Man, I would not want to get into a prankster war with that guy.

I remember one pranskster on our baseball team put blue food colouring on the inside of a guys glove and the inside of his hat. He was a bald dude, and when he took the hat off, he looked like a smurf. Classic.
