Macdavid gets 100 points 3-1

Literally 60 seconds later draisaitl nowhere to be seen defensively, and after giving up a goal another immediately 3-3

Blew a two goal lead in 17 seconds lol pray the Avs find them in the playoffs

Precisely my thoughts. Haha

Quick sucks though, so 4-3 Oilers

edit: or not. Goalie interference

Players are dumb not to wear them. Didn't a kid die last year from a shot to the ear. Yeah be brave and die.

Did he die from getting hit in the ear or getting hit in the head? And we're talking about NHLers, not kids.

There's plenty of vulnerable uncovered places. Should they wear jaw protectors too? That's more susceptible to a serious injury than the ear.

You can potentially die from getting hit with a puck anywhere in the face. Do you say, "yeah be brave and die" to NHLers that don't wear full face shields?

 

[Metallo]

Cold Sore going straight to the dressing room after a hit. Hate to see that.

This game keeps giving.

3-3 again goaltending interference.

The players would adjust, just like they did post lockout 2004 when they started calling everything. Point is, if they don't call it, then the players will continue to do it. I'd rather watch a good team get the calls they deserve and execute on the PP 8+ times a game than I would watch a shit team get away with interference, hooking, and holding all game long, every game. Then you end up with the garbage hockey Minnesota and Arizona play. No one wants to watch that slow-down, clutch-and-grab nonsense.

Players didn’t adjust as much as the league just started letting calls go again. The Babcock Wings were as 90% as much clutch and grab hockey as the 90s.

As much as anybody wants it changed… the NHL doesn’t.

Kings Oilers game is a good one

 

[Reparlana]

That move by McDavid was super nice

 

[Balthazar]

Wow, LA have a big fat zero firepower for a shootout. That's sad.

 

[sethro109]

Wow I hope Clayton Keller is okay after that. He went into the boards super hard.

 

[Balthazar]

Not a great night other than that game going into OT.

Seattle sucks as usual and Vancouver basically eliminating themselves from the playoff race just before facing Vegas 3 times.

Yeah that looked brutal… maybe even femur.

Those replays didn't show it but he almost did the full splits when he hit the boards. Hope he's ok but at least he didn't hit his head. Could be a bad lower body injury though.

Some angles make it look like a horror movie. One of the worst I've seen

Reminds me a lot of Fiala in 2017… brutal injury.

 

[Balthazar]

Another angle...that's just weird

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Kreider’s career season continues.

 

[Foppa2118]

Kreider’s career season continues.

Considering the Rangers have been around for almost 100 years, and had all time greats like Rod Gilbert, Mike Gartner, Jean Ratelle, Adam Graves, Mark Messier, Jaromir Jagr, etc, that's a pretty impressive achievement.

Huberdeau has tied the NHL record for most assists during a season for a left winger. He should beat the record quite easily.

Why the f*** is Mark Messier on this list? Dude played centre his entire career.

 

[PAZ]

Seeing shit like this makes me appreciate how bad Armstrong screwed up the Blues with the Faulk, Krug, and Binnington signings.

That Blues team would be scary good if Armstrong didn't try to play 4D chess with the Pietrangelo. I don't think Pie is necessarily a top 5 defenseman anymore, but he just did so much for that Blues team.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Why the f*** is Mark Messier on this list? Dude played centre his entire career.

Messier started as a winger with the Oil, was a first team all star LW before switching to C.

So?

What is the point of not wearing the ear protection? It makes zero difference for hearing or heat retention. The only reason to not wear them is vanity. I realize that hockey players are a vain bunch....hence why they are the only major sport with actual award ceremonies for best hair. But to mock someone for not being vain is ridiculous. Mocking the haircut ain't much better.
