Gary Thorne calling his grandson's high school hockey game...LOVE IT!!! Growing up on Long Island I remember Gary doing play by play for the NY Mets before ESPN and the nation ever discovered him.

Auston Matthews has 51 goals in 54 games.
The list of 70-goal scorers in the NHL is not long.
Since the start of the '22-'23 season, the leading goal-scorer on the Jackets is Boone Jenner. He has 44 goals since then (108 GP). Since the start of '21-'22, Patrik Laine has 54 goals (129 GP).

What is going on in the OHL? Is it really the best Canadian Juniors league? Is it just that it is so loaded with incredibly gifted offensive talent that the best goalie has a 2.59 GAA and just one other kid is under 3.00 while one kid has a .912 Save Percentage and just five more have tread barely above .900. Or is it just that all the goalies in the OHL right now suck?
The numbers in the WHL are like the complete opposite...seems like nobody is scoring in that league. The Q seems to be the most balanced this season.

Olentangy Schools: 3 coaches for defending state champion Liberty hockey placed on leave
Three coaches for defending state champion Liberty hockey have been placed on leave, Olentangy Schools confirmed in a statement to The Dispatch.

I'm going to guess hazing is involved. Either that or they are way too strict and got complaints.
I started hearing scouts talk around 2020 that OHL scoring is inflated by bad defense. It's way behind the quality of WHL defense. So they'd say 90 pts in the WHL is worth more than 90 pts in the OHL. I haven't heard anyone say it's the best CHL league in a long time.

Rangers up their win streak to 10, it'll probably reach at least 12 since we play them twice in a row over the next three days.

Rempe bringing back the goon role. Plus gets the game winner. Saw this guy play against the Monsters a few weeks ago. He scored two goals in the second game and was first star. Dude was huge, noticed him instantly towering over everyone.
Edit: he has 15 minutes time on ice and 27 penalty minutes is his short career so far. LOL

My Youtube feed has fed me three videos all about PLD being somewhat of a cancer in LA. Anyone else heard of this ?

McLellan called him out for lack of effort. I think he’s been better ever since the coaching change, as has the entire team.

PLD does that. The pattern he's shown is that he sulks and dogs it until he gets his way, and then when you appease him he does much better for a while until the next time something bothers him.

...and now there's a thread on the mains suggesting that that's already happened.

PLD= Pierre Looks Disinterested
I thought PLD would thrive in LA after getting his wish to leave Winterpeg but watching him vs the Oil I question if he has lost his love for the game. It is sad that a kid with all this skill is struggling. I am not sure what will get him going other than transplanting Rempe's heart into him!

We're 10 days away from the NHL trade deadline.
The East isn't all that compelling in terms of races. There are four Metro teams chasing Philly / WC2 and none have been able to really close the cap at all. The Rangers went on that big winning streak to basically sew up the Metro. Toronto is on a big streak and they're nearly locked into Atlantic #3 with Boston and Florida battling it out for the division.
-Washington is the closest team to WC2 (actually closer to Metro #3 by points %) but they're trying to move out Mantha, Oshie is on IR, Kuznetsov is still the in the Players Assistance Program...do they really want to sell futures to maybe get Florida in the 1st round? At least Ovi has picked up his scoring again and could finish the season with 25+ goals.
-Pittsbugh is a mess. Guentzel is hurt and sounds like the Pens want to trade him. They already traded away with their '24 1st rounder to get Karlsson. I'm not sure Dubas wants to add to a group that's currently 10th in the East. They have 13 guys with some sort of trade protection. Enjoy all those contracts!
-I thought Jack Hughes coming back was what NJ needed but they've really missed Dougie Hamilton. It's hard to overcome .892 team goaltending. They've been rumored to be in on Markstrom and Elvis, but at this point...why? I also can't imagine they're too thrilled with the production they've gotten from Meier and Palat.
-Sorokin is "only" .910 this season for the Islanders and that's not enough for them.
I guess the West is a little more exciting? Colorado is stumbling a bit in the Central at the moment but whoever wins that division has a leg up in the first round matchup. Vancouver is running away with the Pacific so we're nearly locked into an Edmonton/Vegas first round matchup. It kind of seems like Nashville is in a similar position to Philly - they're technically in a playoff spot but would rather be focusing on building towards the future, but how do you sell your team and fans and being a seller at the TDL while in a playoff position? It also sounds like Saros might be available.
The Flames probably need to sell on Hanifin and Tanev. It's rumored Gourde could be available from Seattle as they've got Beniers and Wright down the middle for a long time and it doesn't look like they're going to be in a position to go for it this year.
Seven to eight picks (depending on conditions) have already been traded from 2024's 1st round - Erik Karlsson trade, first Sean Monahan trade (potentially), Timo Meier trade (unlikely to move up to a 1st rounder), Brandon Hagel trade, Alex DeBrincat trade, second Sean Monahan trade, Claude Grioux trade, Tyler Bertuzzi trade, and the Elias Lindholm trade.

The east is pretty much decided.
The Devils are fine for the most part for the long run. They just dug too big of a hole. Just bad luck, injuries, a young defense and horrible goaltending. Meier, Palat, Hischier, Jack Hughes have all missed time with injuries but the defense and goaltending has been their real problems while the power play has gone dry. People are calling for Lindy Ruff's head. Maybe its time but it depends on the replacement. They do miss Hamilton but Nemec stepped into his spot pretty well. I just think I saw the stat recently that NJ has the youngest starting D in the NHL and they have the worst goaltending stats by a mile.
They should be sellers at this point and fix their glaring issues in the offseason while they see what they've got in Daws. He's looked pretty solid recently. I do think they move Vanecek and possibly Schmid this offseason and run with Daws and an other more experienced goalie in a tandem next year if Daws continues to look pretty solid. They'll certainly feel the pressure to acquire a proven goalie.
