"IF overtimes were coin tosses, the flames would be in the playoffs"
Yeah, and if overtime losses didn't have a third freebie point, the Flames would have been relegated to the AHL by now.

Flames have the worse OT record. 6 wins in 21 OT so far year.
If they were better and win 50% of their OT games
Flames would be tied with Jets
The difference is Marky vs Bucky
If we had Markstrom we are a lottery team

Just going by save percentage difference alone, Bucky is 2.7% better than Markstrom's .891; over Bucky's 1664 shots, that's like 44.9 more goals against! Going with average rate of 2.8G to 1 point, we got like 65 points and we're jostling with Arizona and St. Louis. Yikes.

That doesn’t surprise me Goaltending is so critical and we have one of the best in the business. Also crazy that Markstrom finished last season with a .922 save percentage and was in the Vezina conversation.
Goaltending is Voodoo
If Kyle Connor produced like McDavid, then the Jets would be in first. So, kind of like that?
just something i've been looking at periodically through the year since scoring depth has been a pain-point of this team id say.
Seattle's offensive depth improved drastically vs last season. last year for the entire season they had 7 players with 10+ goals.
last year STL had 9 players with 20+ goals (the most of any team) wonder if we may see something similar
i wouldn't be surprised if orgs are spending lots/negative cash flows but still getting relatively good valuations. it depends where & what that money is going to, and the expected return. also depends on what is all included with sales.

unless you're getting an under the cover look of their financials you certainly aren't getting the full story. the buyer will certainly be getting that though.

Also, perceived value. Its how the stock market works nowadays. Doesn't matter if the company is solid financially, it's the promise of future returns.

Easier to rationalize a flawed ego purchase if your toy keeps appreciating.
That was 4 houses back. We sold about 2 years ago and moved to Kelowna.

Whiteout Is Coming.
The problem with that statement is that if the Flames won half of their OT games the teams that beat the Flames would have less points.
"The what if?" statement doesn't mean a thing.
What if Wheeler wasn't on the PP ... how many more wins would the Jets have.

Vancouver is quickly becoming a nightmare. Money seems to be shifting to the burbs.
Pandemic really impacted the west coast.

They probably don't need the cap space next year. They would be carrying the cap hit for 8 years. The cheap part of the buyout would be in the first 3 years when they won't need the space. The last 5 years, the cap hit is much higher and by then they likely need it.
They could send him to the AHL and save 1 mil+ in cap space. If they are lucky, he goes ballistic and refuses to report. Or he reports and they keep him there for another year or two before buying him out. The hit would be less then.

It's pretty simple. You couldn't start your own NHL team in Ottawa or anywhere else. There's only 32 franchises for sale. Imagine if there were 32 Tim Horton's in all of Canada how valuable the right to own one of them would be.
My wife was having some serious issues with the humidity, medication related.
We have friends here, seemed like we could get a head start on retirement living. So we bought a place and put in a pool. No complaints so far.

There we go!!
I like BC allot but my plans for where I live will be determined by where my two kids settle and my health.
If either of my children pick Winnipeg as home I will choose Winnipeg and Lake of the woods as my fair weather home base with large swaths of the winter in warmer interesting locals TBD.
If Both my kids relocate then it’s on to plan B.
Sounds good to me.
We kept our wee place on LoTW. Not so easy to get there for weekends from the UK but there's nowhere else in the world like it, and it's a toehold for our kids to return to if they fancy going to school or living in Canada.

Combination of proximity to a lot of more well supported teams (Toronto, New York, Boston) and lots of losing over lots of years.
