  1. Off topic but since you’re a Canucks fan.. Nils Höglander scored an insane goal for Rögle against Djurgården tonight.

  2. Well, Colorado is really screwing my pick'em hockey pool now!! First Rantanen, and now Landeskog!?!? Add Tarasenko to that list and I am completely screwed already, and we're not even a month into the season.

  3. Stats wise Colorado is the epitome of secondary scoring to start the season. As an oilers fan I’m incredibly jealous (11 FORWARDS without a goal, ENTIRE bottom 6 are literally pointless) however injuries do change all the lines which can be difficult but wishing the Avs and Landeskog the best, they’re a hell of an exciting team to watch! What a start for Makar!

  4. Take this with a grain of salt, I haven’t watched a ton of Toronto games this season but wow when I did. I just thought this is not a team. Like they just don’t gel…they don’t look at all like they play for each other. They don’t stick up for one another, they’re a team in the league where if you wanna go hit their stars, you WILL get away with it. Seen Matthews beat up a few times and no reaction. Not saying it’s good to start a fight but they just don’t show any physical side to the game, and don’t pass well, they constantly turn the puck over. It’s brutal watching. And it’s hard not to think well yeah when you’re paying each guy 11 mil, it’s not gonna be much of a team. As much as, a bunch of clearly very very talented skilled individuals. But that doesn’t win games. It’s also sort of nice seeing them play without Tavares. Highlights their problems even more because they lose that ability to win matchups by having two first lines. But that’s just my opinion, feel bad for leaf fans they are tough to watch

  5. I think we're due for that dreaded plus/minus stat video.. Karlsson is nearly leading the league with a -11, and Pageau of OTTAWA is +11. What gives?

  6. One more thing about my New York Rangers, the look like they’re unsure of themselves out there at times. Over passing, fanning on passes and on shots, and a few other items … Maybe, JUST BE SURE OF YOURSELF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOUR REAM MAY HAVE MADE SMALL MISTAKES HERE N THERE THROUGHOUT THE GAME, STAY CLEAR YOUR INTENTIONS IN FOCUS BE WILLFUL ! NO MATTER ! KEEP GOING FORWARD, PRESSING ONWARD STAYING FOCUSED, WILLFUL AND DETERMINED IN POSTIVENESS THE RIGHT MOVES WILL MATERIALIZE AND TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES YOU JUST FOCUS ON SHOOTING THE PUCK AND WINNG.

  7. the problem with elite players focusing on "team first play" is that the instant your stats dip, you dont get the contract you want, and get traded to ottawa to die. if the players are worried about the next contract or monetary value, then stats seem more important. its a double edged sword.

  8. How do you feel about the Avs making a big push for Hall now that Landy, Mikko and Wilson are all out.

  9. Oh no good thing the aves had a good start and imagine Mackinnon was actually concused from their first L but no rantno landeskog. Oh same for the blues but tarasekno is out till playoffs time

  10. I'm not sure how to feel about Landy and Rants being out at the same time. Obviously it's not ideal, but I am excited to see who steps up in their absence.

  11. Carlson is on fire. He has been really good his whole career. He has taken his game up a level this year. He plays a complete game. He’s not dominant with the puck like Ray Bourque, Phil Housley and Paul Coffey were. He’s not dominant at D like Rod Langway and Scott Stevens were. Carlson has a wicked shot but he usually defers to Ovie which kinda makes sense. I’d like to see the Caps add a top 2 Dman somehow so Carlson doesn’t have to play so many minutes. If he keeps this up he’s the Norris winner.

  12. i feel like the rangers are the only team that can get away with the diagonal wording just because it’s been the style forever

  13. I thought you have to be a good defensemen to win a Norris??? Im watching a lot of cap games and he gets scored on a lot while his on the ice
    Last time I checked Washington Capitals Top 5 most goals against, that’s not good defensive.
    analyzes should keep track of his defensive game.
