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.

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.
Dude was huge, noticed him instantly towering over everyone.
That's a big line.In the outdoor game last week the Rangers were running a 4th line of
Adam Edstrom 6’7” 234 lbs
Barclay Goodrow 6’2” 209 lbs
Matt Rempe 6’7” 241 lbs
This aged well.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.
My Youtube feed has fed me three videos all about PLD being somewhat of a cancer in LA. Anyone else heard of this ?
Plus many more...
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.McLellan called him out for lack of effort. I think he’s been better ever since the coaching change, as has the entire team.
The east is pretty much decided.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.
Happens to a team almost every day in the league. Happens to some teams more predictably than others, but…Canes going full CBJ against the Jets this Saturday afternoon. Going into the third had a three goal lead and within five minutes, the Jets tied it up.
