I hope Panthers and Blue Jackets make it in the East. Panthers because I like their players and Blue Jackets because they will make it tough no matter who they face.

Safe to say Darling isn't the answer in goal for Carolina.. 3 more years at 4.15 million to go.

An elite back-up (which I think Darling still is) costs around 2-3 mil, so he's not insanely overpaid. If they retain 50% he'd even have some trade value IMO.

I'm genuinely curious what happens to Cam Ward after this season. I thought there might be a chance he goes home to Edmonton but they got Montoya for one more year.

I'm more curious to see if Cam Ward's voodoo forbidding any other Canes' goalie to be better than Cam, will leave with him if he does go.

I'd say there is a solid chance that Darling gets bought out... the new owner seems willing to do what he needs to do to quickly turn things around.

6 losses in a row for Dallas. WTF happened there? Everyone assumed they were in like 2 weeks ago.

If anyone still thinks Scott Darling is an NHL caliber goaltender, I advise you to go watch the Leon Draisaitl goal from tonight.

The guy is awful, and the Hurricanes need to move on from him as soon as possible. He's not even backup worthy IMO.

I think he's just mentally shot. Confidence utterly shattered. You look at a bunch of those goals and you can tell he just knows everything is going to go wrong as soon as the shot comes his way. Maybe he can be rehabbed mentally, because he is basically the reason why Chicago won that third cup when Crawford fell apart in the first round and he came in and saved their bacon. There's something there but damn, he is appalling this season.

In the East it looks like the Devils might very well miss the playoffs after a good first half of the season.
