He enjoyed that short walk down Portage to the arena with his hot Timmy's. It was only 20 below zero. Invigorating. He could put the Jets over the hump and he's not expensive.

Whiteout Is Coming.
The only thing I can think of it benefits the tanking teams.
What's even crazier lots of sports writers didn't even know that rule ... I wonder if Hynes knew.

I suspect it's to stop people from playing too fast and loose with the free point, i.e. trying to cover up from some of the obvious flaws of the 2-0 / 2-1 system. Change it to 3-0 / 2-1 and there's no need for such a rule.
5-1, 7-2 in their last two? That's not a slow descent, that's a rocket to the ocean floor.

Like I said earlier I had never seen that play in OT before and never knew you would lose the point if you lost. It's true you learn something new everyday.

Pulling the goalie really makes the team play harder. Almost an automatic momentum shift.
I wish it was pulling the goalie was employed more often. Perhaps last 20 seconds end of period when your on a powerplay? Go for an all all last 5 second full press assault on the net.

The big thing I've noticed is that people generally drastically overestimate how likely it is to backfire. League average you're only "laying" 2-1 odds (about twice as many EN GA as goalie-pulled GF) and that's when most of it is 6-on-5; as the overall man-power dwindles that edge increases -- a good way to remember that is that 1-on-0 would of course be the ultimate power play.
I'll keep on telling the world -- the time will come when we realize that Patrick Roy was miles ahead of the game in this regard. The only part in sport that currently gets misplayed worse IMO is 4th down gambles in the NFL.

Can't remember the game last week but a team 3 goals down pulled their goalie with 7 minutes left

How long did they have possession before pulling? That's something I've thought about, if you have the opposition caught on a long shift pull the goalie and keep them tired. If they shoot it down and miss they're stuck out because of the icing.

I have a feeling that teams fighting for a playoff spot will use this tactic, the Wild coach is smarter than he looks

If you really wanted to tank, you do this lolThe only thing I can think of it benefits the tanking teams.

I used to skate with the coach who got suspended for doing this. We rode him pretty hard about it
Don't know precisely, but at least half a minute. Kaprizov was skating around with the puck for a while.
What would a player have to do to get a 2 minute penalty, game misconduct, 2 game suspension and $50,000 fine?
I love this move, you can create a 4-on-3 power play where the opponent likely has three players on the ice that don't kill penalties, so won't be entirely familiar/comfortable in the proper lanes to disrupt plays. Imagine seeing Scheif and Connor on the ice tired, i'm totally doing this, they won't know what to do.

I hope he comes back just in time for training camp.
Vancouver is the least annoying team in the Pacific. Rather they knock out the Oilers and LV, than lose to them.
None of those teams worry me.
It's the Jets that worry me.

Even if we stay healthy, and play the very best version of our game it will still be long odds to survive a gauntlet of something like the Avs, Stars, Canucks, Canes/Rangers/Bruins/Panthers to win the cup. So yeah I worry about other teams.
