So Laine is either incredibly lucky, or incredibly talented?
Damn - I think I could have told you that without a lot of fancy stats.
i'm a winnipegger who lives in toronto (for 17 years. but still a winnipegger).
Toronto media is ridiculous. and when i say "toronto", i also mean "sportsnet, TSN, the Score".
Matthews gets way more hype than Laine.
let's be honest here: off the top of your head, any idea what kind of season Scheifele's having? where he is in NHL scoring?
how about Bryan Little's PPG average?
if a Leaf was doing this, the media would be hospitalized from trying to **** their own ***** and breaking a rib
Didn't mention Barberio because the Avs had waiver priority over us, so it's possible Chevy put in a claim.
That said, I'm sure Bergevin would've put out courtesy calls prior to waiving him. Jets could've just given the Habs their 7th round pick back.

The image of pasty middle age reporters doing chest shooters off an 18 year old hockey players chest is a minds eye image that cannot be unseen.
People keep saying that! WRONG.
Avs claimed him the 2nd time he was waived. He passed through only about 6 weeks earlier and was then waived again.
But could you have told by how many goals are likely by each?

While we are at it, lets mention Halak again just for some kind of completeness. Halak has now played 16 AHL games - sv% .931
Pav for Halak right now Chevy!
Why bother?
I want Hellebuyck to play as much as possible down the stretch, and then the Jets can try to figure out what to do about a second goalie in the off-season. There might be better options available than Halak, all things considered.
Lost in this so far is that this would be a 3 game winning streak with a win tonight. We know how the team generally does in that situation.

Eh? I didn't realize that. I know he was waived at the beginning of the season.
And maybe Perreault and Petan are actually not very talented

Don't need to provide hypotheticals. Look no further than the ridiculous "Kadri for Selke" hype.
Bryan Little is/was more deserving of Selke consideration than Kadri, yet you barely hear a peep about it.
In what way is Little more deserving of Selke consideration than Kadri? Neither are even in the conversation but please tell me. Is it his 30% defensive zone starts? His ability to carry plugs like Ehlers, Laine, and Perrault?
The Kadri for Selke stuff wasn't a serious thing. Kadri shut down McDavid one game and then everyone saw he led the league in defensive zone start % and went nuts for a minute. Maybe that picks up in a few years when Toronto is good and Kadri is still getting 37% of his shifts in the defensive zone.
