11 shots through 2 is so bad
Been a lot of that lately

At least we get an extended look at Brown and Lettieri!

Oh no i'm aware of how bad the bad is (Chicago especially) but when you see those type of bad teams, they usually have an artificial inflation effect on everybody else's wins totals. That's not really the case for most of the league.
The best example of this as i pointed out is admittedly from another league but baseball's AL Central has been doing this for years. So many years that division spit out a paper tiger because they'd get to 90+ wins just by beating the shit out of the Royals, Tigers and White Sox who would then be immediately blown out in the playoffs when playing actual competition. Last year was probably most egregious when a historically bad White Sox team essentially elevated a pretty meh Cleveland team to a division title and let two really mediocre KC and Detroit teams in the playoffs.
With Chicago and San Jose being so bad you'd think you'd see the west as a whole have higher than projected totals but outside of the Central's top 3, nobody has really taken advantage of it.

Definitely a division that benefits from Bettmans setup.That said,Edm will get Kane and Freddy inserted and walk right through LA & Vegas is my bet even with Skinner in nets.Honestly I think only team in their way is Colorado .They had no Draisaitl tonite and lost in OT to Jets giving up 20 shots .They own the Jets historically so I would not bet on Jets myself but lots are picking Jets.

Speaking of leading the league in unattractive stats, I wouldn't be surprised if the B's lead the league in fewest goals on rebounds.

Another big hit from Zadorov.
And no give-up from Khusnutdinov to get that puck back in the offensive zone

Dallas is my pick to come out of the west. They already had an embarrassment of riches offensively and then decided screw it, let's add one of the best wingers in hockey.
Hintz and Rantanen coming off the rush is going to give teams nightmares in a 7 game series. Winnipeg i think gets past round 1 because Minnesota is meh, but i think they lose to their opponent in round 2 regardless of who it is.

Well, you did miss a nice open ice body check by Zad in the 1st period and a few good saves by Swayman. That's about it.

Sabres had a delayed penalty & scored on themselvesHow did that happen?
I still find it funny that the Bruins are going through the season from hell & yet it would arguably be a top 5 Buffalo Sabres season since 2011.Sabres had a delayed penalty & scored on themselves
The guy getting penalized getting credit for the goal is really just chef's kiss type shit lmao.
IMO this summer will tell us more about him and his abilities than his first ten years in charge. He's had some downs and some great "ups" but he's got his work cut out for him here on out.
