And another young gun down:

The problem wasn't Clutterbuck - who I cannot stand by the way - it was Boeser's frickin team mate who took his sweet old time closing the door to the bench.

The point of impact is Boeser' right hip and lower back against a 90 degree right angle steel reinforced door frame.

Benches need to be designed and built bigger to allow players to hop the boards on and off the ice.

Ouch, he got super Kulikov'd

Joe Pavelski has officially missed the memo that he's supposed to suck with Kane on his line.

Sam Reinhart with a better shot is basically the perfect Kane linemate, and Donskoi is the type of mid line energy player we’ve been patiently waiting to develop, even though he sounds like a throwaway character from the Star Wars prequels.

Point is, even most rational Kane detractors would have predicted this fit.

 

[Icicle]

That's his teammate's fault

That sucks

We have a ROR sighting on Underrated Player

We have a Hasek sighting on best goaltender

Of course Wes is favored as #1 ref

This is super interesting. ROR getting the fifth most votes by his peers for most underrated.

Interesting to see Work Ethic being the most appreciated aspect of a teammate.

Steve Ott and Lindy Ruff are the fourth and fifth most current assistants who should be head coaches according to the NHLPA poll. So interesting.

Watching Tampa really drives home how terrible our drafting and development has been

They were bad long enough to acquire some really nice talent, but they've been able to keep the cupboards stocked while making trades that really help the team. I can't really think of a single trade that they've made that's blown up in their face. Yzerman is doing a great job down in TB. I'd actually love to see this current group win the cup.

i had no idea Ott was an assistant. Weird.

 

[Jame]

At least the players around the league appreciate ROR.

It's a crime that Hasek loses to Roy and Brodeur by such a huge margin... but not as criminal as Carey Price receiving votes.

I got a chuckle out of that.

Watching us really drives that home as well.

Listening to TSN690 out of Montreal in the wake of a morning online public Q&A with the owner make me happier about where the Sabres are positioned than where the Habs are positioned.

This is an organization that can remember the Roy trade, the decision that ended its reign as a mythical franchise, and was like “yeah, we should run that back.”

Edmonton's TSN station seems to be greasing the skids for the departure of Klefbom today in light of Friedman's comments the other night.

Strome Klefbom

I know, it shouldn’t be acceptable. The question is, does Chia do it? That’s speed and a top 4 dman coming back with size and skating!

Hasek’s The best goalie to ever play the game. Did more with less than anyone else.

If that deal was accepted I would giggle like a child.

That’s a Chiarelli trade. Please..............

I'd probably drive off the road, into a swamp and be eaten by alligators if that happened.
