But hey who knows, maybe Sportsnet have tried to call him several times to do a video with Zac Bell but there's always been a GOOD reason for Elvis to hang up on them...

Blackwood.... :facepalm:

Edit. I guess good news is Devils grabbed at least a point from this game.

Yay, Devils win in ot. Now they're tied with CBJ in the standings.

I bet he is having fun. Get a tour of the league in your last year or two.

It would be harder if he had school-age kids.

I could see how it could be fun with a toddler in non COVID times. “Hey, Junior, we’ll get to go to a different zoo. Plus I got you a new shirt with a coyote on it.” Their kid was born in February. Plus COVID. That first year as new parents is pretty scary in the best of times. And I can only imagine how my wife would react to several moves in one year.

wait didn’t @CBJWerenski8 say the blackhawks would make the playoffs or something to that tune?

2 regulation wins in the last 46 days.

Maybe next year.

I do think the hawks could make the playoffs this year though

They started the season off awfully, obviously, but watching them since the coaching change they look better. and yeah, sometimes every team gets a bump after firing the coach and we'll see if its sustainable, but I don't think they're nearly as bad as that team that started the year.

Is their start enough to keep them out of the playoffs? Yeah, I would say that's likely. But is it set in stone? No. Not at all. That team has tons of talent, and some high end young players. We all know about Kane, Fleury, and Jones as the old/older heads. so yeah, I'm not writing them off yet.

Yet because I'm not burying them for dead as others have on here, I am labeled as some sort of Blackhawk apologist/cheerleader or something.

no, he actually said stuff like this.

2 regulation wins in 46 days? Didn’t we just shut the whole league down for 2-3 weeks?

@CBJWerenski8, okay let me put it another way. 2 regulation wins in their last 17 games. better?

The words “could” and “would” are pretty different. I know you know the difference.

Yes, much better.

The Coyotes better watch out. The Canadiens may out-tank them if they aren't careful.

Since the '05 lockout, we are witnessing the two worst seasons by win % and three of the worst ten all this season. Incredible.

The Coyotes are t-worst in the cap era for most goals allowed per game. The Senators, Kraken, and Canadiens also make the bottom (top?) 10 in this category. And don't look now, but a familiar team is right there at #11.

6 straight losses by the Blackhawks. I think there is a likelihood that we'll have two top 10 picks. It's the double-tank!

By points %, Chicago sits 6th-worst and the Jackets are 10th.

Amazing that the Coyotes won in regulation last night. They only had 3 regulation wins all year before yesterday!

No one is catching the Habs or Yotes, though. And Ottawa may be sliding into uncatchable territory.

People are saying the playoff race for the East is over and now it is all about seeding. There is a clear gap between the 8 teams in and the 8 teams out. Is there a team out of the playoffs that you think will make it?

I think if either Philly or more likely the Isles get hot they could sneak in. Isles have 2 games in hand over the Bruins but with Rask looking like he will be back it will be a battle.

The Islanders have games in hand and have more home games than road games remaining. They are the one team that could see making a run, but this might be one of those situations where a good team has some setbacks and misses the playoffs. And then comes back better next year without the wear on their bodies from the playoffs.

By points %, Edmonton is now 11th in the west. They're 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. McDavid is 24 and Draisaitl is 26. This is when they should be "going for it."

Anyway, RIP to the "the Pacific is actually good" takes from ~a month ago. The top 4 teams in the West are all from the Central.

So, I haven't been paying much attention to the Canadians... Is there any hope at all that Carey Price returns this season for the Habs?
