What is the point of this post? I’m sure that had nothing to do with Dougie being in his prime and on a very good team and Staal being in the twilight of his career and on a very bad team.

There are some nutty schedules at the outset of the season, for sure. I laughed that CHI started their season by playing one game, then had 5-day break.

Everyone spent so much time worrying about the Canes goaltending situation going into the year, they ignored the mess that has now officially developed in Washington

So in random news Petr Cech made his debut in net the other day in England's 4th tier hockey league. For those of you that follow soccer: yes, THAT Petr Cech.
I'll give England credit for this much: he's not a sumo wrestler.
But it doesn't seem far off.

Hey, anything to grow the game.
If playing goal in soccer can translate over well to playing goalie in hockey, they could open up a whole new market of opportunity for the NHL going forward, and give keeper washouts in soccer another opportunity to possibly make some decent money.

Ferland with a team low TOI last night for Vancouver. I watched a bit of that game before the Canes game started, and in that short stretch I watched, he's playing like the Ferland from the end of the season. Too bad as I liked how he played when he was physical and active. Hopefully he gets back to that as he's a good story and a guy I want to root for.

He doesn’t seem to know where to fit in. They tried him with the skill guys but Boeser and Petterson started off slow five on five. He did his thing - they weren’t. They moved away from it just trying to get those two going with anyone and he’s taking a back seat for the moment. You’d have to figure they’ll work him back in as it all settles down. They had a few additions this year, not unlike us it’s a scramble to figure out where everyone belongs.

I think I heard he battled some illness right before the season started as well so that could have set him back a bit.
We are only 18 months removed from wondering if Holtby would be on the move out of Washington with Grubauer starting the playoffs.
Holtby will come around; he has some bad streaks but he'll pick it back up and look like one of the best in the league again.

Counterpoint: The PNC Arena broke him in the playoffs last year and its all downhill from here. Seriously, he looked awful on the road in the playoffs last year, and by the time Game 7 came around, he was a broken player.

The Cup run was great for Holtby, but he's been meh the last two regular seasons, and the start of this one. I'm not sure exactly what to make of him at this point. A change might end up being the best for everyone considering how much money he'll command (I mean after the season change). Or maybe he'll pull it together. Who knows?

They played that game in Czech Republic. There's always a bunch of days to recover from a Eurotrip.

I wonder if Holtby ends up coming to the Canes next season if his FA market tanks and goes past Day 1 UFA. This is the Canes Borg that we're talking about, who are among the front offices least concerned about player turnover in the entire league. If Mrazek and Reimer have great seasons with us, I could totally see our guys sell high on one or both of them for picks in the 2nd-4th rounds and pull off another low-cost, Gardiner-style upgrade again. If a desperate team like Florida (of this offseason) comes in and overpays the shit out of him, then of course the Canes will have nothing to do with that and just own-rental one of the two.

It would be interesting to see something like that happen. Certainly not impossible. But I think people around the league still think too highly of Holtby even if this turns out to be his third consecutive meh or worse regular season.

Crosby is why I can never think the Pens aren't a playoff team.

In all fairness, that D-man was a ****ing pylon I'm pretty sure Foegele could have out-deked lol (EDIT: Looked like Girard?)
Still can't believe Horny clipped NMack at full speed after the puck was gone without any call, that was incredibly reckless...and then Cole got called for barely shoulder-clipping Tane...refs are clueless and inconsistent (nothing new there). Or when the Penguin got his stick stuck in the NECK of the Avs player's jersey and Avs got called for holding? lol
Both teams had some REALLY close chances, good goaltending and lucky breaks kept that one at 1-1, but either team could easily have had 3 goals that period
