Season on the line and Jarvis goes for a chip shot in that situation. Presence of mind, holy.

There is more strength of will and hockey IQ in one half of his mustache than we have in our entire organization.

You could sub Luchanko for Barkov honestly. Integrity covers any gap.

However many goals Bennett finishes with is his contract offer from the Flyers.

Can you imagine trying to make the playoffs and being 16th in the Eastern Conference?

What bodes well for the Flyers draft next year is that they are probably far and away the worst team in the East

The Panthers are making me money Jerry and I'm loVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT
Bennett being sandwiched between Verhaghae and Tkachuk while Barkov takes on the tough assignments is pretty much the most advantageous position he can be in. Throw in the team success and he's gonna be Dave Bolland of this year's free agency.

I was scrolling Reddit yesterday, and came across a few obvious troll/hater posts about NHL rules, but honestly? There were some fun ideas in there. I think the NHL rules are dumb and stiff as they are, and they are in the entertainment business, so why not entertain? The regular season drags forever with too many lulls.
So... a few interesting ones...
1. Let the President's Trophy winner choose their 1st round matchup.
2. Win a game? 2 points. Win two games in a row? 3 points. Win 5 in a row? 5 points. Make streaks worth something. Playoff races would be way more interesting.
3. Have something like a shot clock in OT. Can't play keep away for more than 30 seconds.
Those were the three best... maximum chaos. I'm all for it. Lean in to being an entertainment product - they're all plastered with ads and sponsors anyway, so why keep pretending there's any kind of integrity to the game?

I like #1. Wonder how many PTWs would get knocked off by bad teams who play pissed off at the disrespect

The "chosen" would definitely have some extra motivation to knock them down a peg.
I could see a problem with a PTW selecting an out of conference opponent, for travel / scheduling purposes.
The idea of awarding extra points for winning streaks, to me, makes it infinitely more interesting to watch. Winning that 4th game in a row is much more meaningful.; And breaking someone's winning streak has much bigger consequences. It's no dumber than awarding an extra point for playing 65 minutes instead of 60, and giving the loser a consolation prize.

In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
I'm good with 1, don't see the point (so to speak) of 2, and am all in favour of 3. Alternatively, implement a no back court rule in OT: once you cross red line / enter offensive zone, you cannot carry the puck out.

Why the hell does Paul Maurice think he's in charge of the handshake line rules?

Completely bizarre..and a major cuck move by Brind'Amour to follow his orders.

I thought the same thing. Maurice is a weird guy to me. Everyone in the media thinks he’s great cause of the long answers he gives. Personally I think he’s very full of himself

He has main character syndrome.

I enjoy seeing the coaches shake hands and talk to the other team’s players. You get some good moments. I would’ve done it anyway and just made Maurice look like a doofus.
