Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

Watching this Isles/Caps game and Igor is the best Russian rookie tendie in the divison and it isn't even close. Hell, forget rookies, all this talk about Hart/Elvis/Blackwood i'd say Igor is standing out above all of them. Don't know much about Jarry or whoever the Pens starter is supposed to be, but Igor might be the best of the bunch in the Metro.

Butch straight up said Sorokin was no good tonight. Wish we could get Dave Maloney to replace Joe on our broadcast. Some ornery old former player magic.

Homer Butch said something negative about a Piles player? I don't believe it.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Piles lost.

Blows my mind how one could play all 82 games, let alone do it 10+ straight times.

 

[Cmox]

I’m shocked Yandle is still playing

I agree and I dont think its close.

Yes, Artem Anisimov was wearing goalie gear and almost played for the Sens on Saturday

Anisimov isn’t exactly the first name that would spring to mind for a positional player to suit up as a goalie. The 32-year-old isn’t exactly known for his defensive prowess; he once tied for 43rd in Selke Trophy voting.

Anisimov is not exactly a prototypical shot blocker either, an Anton Volchenkov-type of player whom many fans could easily envision stopping shots if pressed into duty. Anisimov has just nine blocked shots to his credit this season and has never had more than 55 in any single campaign.

But he was the only option from the Senators’ travelling taxi squad in Vancouver who was willing to put himself in that position.

Rooting for Pittsburgh feels so disgusting.

Should I just give up on the playoff hopes and spare myself the agony?

Sorokin giving up 6 goals behind that D is unbelievable. Igor has allowed more than 4 goals twice in a longer career behind a much worse defense, even this season we're significantly worse. I think the Islanders have a much better record than their talent (much like a lot of Rangers teams in the past) but the way they play team D they shouldn't allow more than 3 goals in a game.

Nashville, a team that has won 26 games and lost 23, is effectively even in the standings with Dallas, a team that has won 20 games and lost 27.

Please kill the loser point.

All teams going to be playing for OT.. of course... this point model needs changing.

3- regulation win
2- OT win
1- OT Loss

Just bring back ties and move on.

He even played 84 in 2014/15.

People hate ties though. What is wrong with 3-2-1?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Devils have taken the pathetic crown from Buffalo for this 2021 season.

 

[rangers1314]

Sounds like the Kings are calling up Byfield

Losing streak now at 10. The same age Jack Hughes' kid will be the next time that team makes the playoffs

That’s better than what we have now but some games are just ties and I’m more than fine with that.

Is Yzerman going to cause a scene when NJ wins the lottery yet again or that only when its us.

They are the worst team in hockey.

I'm old school. The same thing that's wrong with the NFL going to 17 games, records mean nothing now. It has changed significantly with the loser point and then shootout, but this would be too much for me.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I will say I feel dirty when we win in a shootout, almost embarrassed.

The shootout sucks because a win a shootout doesn't feel as good as a loss in a shootout feels bad. Not even close.

I was told that the Devils closed the gap on the Rangers this year.

That organization is in the infancy stages of Buffalol'ing themselves and Im going to enjoy every second of watching that unfold.
