Yeah this is almost as amazing as the goals with Ovi. Playing that physical and missing like 10/1400 games to injury. That's more impressive than Yandle or Kessel avoiding contact for 900 games in a row.

He has more games due to missing all star games lol

Lame! (And the NHL's statement quoted at the end of that article is shameful. Cowards.)

100%. The NHL's handling of this situation, and of the Diversity Job Fair debacle in Florida, is f***ing disgraceful.

PIT loses at home to SJS. Karlsson played 27+.

I’ll never count Pittsburgh out until they are actually eliminated, but they really do seem the weakest of the bunch contending for a WC spot.

Sharks playing on a back to back as well.

Sabres are coming hard.

Caps better get two points tomorrow.

Sharks are friends with Capitals. Everyone knows that.

Ah yes, my documentary

Sabres get the loser point. Isles win but I'm not sure it matters.

Panthers won too.

25-year old and Edmonton-native EBUG Matt Berlin got to play for his hometown Oilers last night. Pretty awesome.

I watched the game the announcers actually said he's on the roster so not a EBUG.

He's definitely an EBUG. He's playing for the University of Alberta.

Matt Berlin, an emergency backup goalie, played for the Edmonton Oilers in a 7-3 win against the Chicago Blackhawks at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Saturday.

"The whole day was a whirlwind, but the finish to the day was unbelievable," Berlin said. "Something I'll never forget for the rest of my life."

The 25-year-old, who is in his third season with the University of Alberta, signed an amateur tryout contract on an emergency basis earlier in the day after Stuart Skinner came down with an illness.

I just looked this up after reading this post. It's appalling, really.

Wonder what Timo is going to go for now

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

The first round pick is top 12 protected. Solid return for Vancouver and you’d assume they have an extension in place for Horvat otherwise that’s a disaster deal for the Islanders since they’re probably still out of it even after this trade. Would be kind of funny if the Isles are still out of it a month from now and they flip Horvat. If there’s an extension in place that’s a good fit for what the Isles need. I wonder if that pushes Barzal to the wing. Wouldn’t mind seeing the Caps bump Kuznetsov to the wing if they can’t move him.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Surprisingly good haul for Vancouver.

Edit: misread the trade, that seems good for both sides.

 

[pman25]

Why get Horvat? Not understanding the NYI approach here when you have a perfectly fine 2C in Nelson.

Seems like another above average player that the isles will extend for way too long for way too much money. Good luck to them!

The only teams ranked lower than the Islanders in goals per game are Philly, Nashville, Montreal, Arizona, Chicago, Montreal, and Columbus. They have the second worst PP% ahead of only Montreal. For an older team with arguably the worst futures pipeline in the league that’s not the recipe for success… the company they’re keeping on the offensive front are all tanking hard for Bedard.
