If the B's slipped down to second place this time of year it may work out for the better . Just might take a little pressure off . Let NYR carry the burden for awhile .

I hate losing, but at the same time I’m not particularly thrilled at the prospect of winning another President’s Trophy.

Danton putting up points I like it . Nice el cheapo deal by Donny.

The post-holiday home team blues theory has held up really well. 15 games and the road teams went 13-1-1, including some pretty unexpected results. That's quite something.

I don’t mind the loss so much as that I wasted my time sitting through that boring sloppy mess.

Not an entertaining one at all.

It was sloppy. It felt like most of the team was off

13 of 15 road teams won and one of the home teams Chicago beat the Toronto.

Florida shut out at home by Winnipeg 3-0

Carolina getting trounced 8-2 by Tampa at home

Washington who was playing very well gets shutout by Edmonton 5-0

Dallas loses at home 7-4 to Calgary

Three American teams outscored 15-4 in games you think they win against Canadian teams

Blues lost at home to Preds 8-2
Bruins sloppy and undisciplined lose to Detroit

Crazy day - focus clearly was not all there as likely most teams players had a lot of family at the house and routines broken

Well......this is a well written post and most of all it does seem to reflect that yesterday might have been a very strange and scary day! Is everyone OK lol....

Very interesting; great analysis. Thanks. Adds more factual granularity to the point raised by others that the home team on T-day does not do well.

 

[chizzler]

good team, needs some help. more speed, more grit, more talent in the forward ranks.
wouldn't mind more grit on the D either.

curious on your thoughts. i watch hathaway running around like a f***ing menace with
philly. what are they doing to these guys in boston? freddy too, seems tamer now.

Yup. Either analytics or this organizational view on being the punching bags of the league.

Let’s stay positive everyone: our guys got to witness how to survive a 6 on 5 from up close!

I wish I had- just finished a little bit ago on ESPN on demand. Good thing I am nursing a terrible food hangover and don’t have the energy to care that much

I went to the OU-TCU game instead and am going to delete the game from the dvr and not even bother with trying to watch it. At least OU crushed TCU.

I was just looking at yesterday's scores and I was kind of stunned. Was it like this last Thanksgiving as well?

 

[UncleRico]

Of late they've been in the box too much. That much is clear.

Yup they escaped a few undisciplined games with wins and it finally caught up to them. Just need to right the ship. Too many dumb penalties.

Last Black Friday, road teams went 9-2-2. So not quite as extreme as this year, but still a pretty remarkable record in their favor. Definitely a pattern there, at least in recent times.
