The oil is getting smoked .

 

[BozoTheClown]

There was 17 40 goals scorers and 4 50+ goals scorers last season.
This year, only Draisaitl will score 50, if he comes back and maybe 7 40 goals scorers.
There are 210 less goals scored so far this year compared to last year.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Caps should be able to add Ryan Leonard for the playoffs too, great experience for him and probably a big bottom-6 boost

 

[JuJu Mobb]

I would not want to play Tampa Bay in the first round... I think they'll be very dangerous.

I hope the Leafs get them.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

So true.

He won one Stanley Cup behind one of the best cap era teams ever assembled.. and then had to be replaced by Matt Murray in two other cup runs that he 'won'.

One of the most overrated, stat accumulators in NHL history.

To be fair I think the human/personality is probably the bigger factor of how much people are making a big deal out of this

Always gonna be the guy who put the puck in his own net and lost the gold medal to the USA to me.

 

[the valiant effort]

I actually love the guy but this particular retirement tour just weirds me out for whatever reason.

His 2014 series against Columbus is my favourite collection of Fleury gaffes

 

[Team_Spirit]

The top 5 goalies that Alex Ovechkin has scored the most goals against are:

1. **Henrik Lundqvist** (44 goals)
2. **Marc-Andre Fleury** (28 goals)
3. **Martin Brodeur** (27 goals)
4. **Cory Schneider** (25 goals)
5. **Jimmy Howard** (24 goals)

Hockey is so over for that guy

Giving up playing with McKenna for a full ride at msu.

Knowing how NCAA recruiting works, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of non sport reasons behind his decision.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Columbus in free fall.

 

[Sookind]

Columbus in free fall.

Yeah 3-3 now of course..

 

[BozoTheClown]

Yeah 3-3 now of course..

6-5 Columbus with a couple of minutes left in the game.

Jake Allen allows 4 goals on 15 shots after 2.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Goals coming so fast, NHL.com can't tell which one's which.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Rangers continuing to prove they are not a serious team.

Pretty good decision actually. He missed this entire year & would only have one more year of junior hockey left. He's not ready to turn pro in another year with his lost season.

This gives him an opportunity to continue to play high level hockey, grow his game & gain some strength while also getting a chance to experience college life. Way better than the long bus rides in WHL.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Important news

 

[Tyson]

When Carolina signs Nikishin they will become formidable. What a steal!

Agreed. I don’t see any argument in his case where this is a bad thing.

Ryan McDonagh honoured for playing his 1000 game on Thursday. A reminder of trading top prospects to try and fill a position short term.

For a cap dump. Imagine trading Guhle to CGY for Monahan .

 

[The Great Weal]

Another 2 goal game so far from Michkov

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Point scores, 3-0 Tampa vs Isles

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Michkov is such an odd guy.

He's got 2 goals today. He's coughed the puck up for 1 shorthanded goal and at least 1 other shorthanded chance.

I think once Philly gets better he will look better overall as his mistakes will likely result in less goals/chances against.
