Other than McDavid, I dont think their is another NHL forward I can comfortable say is better than Draisaitl, I mean you can make an argument for guys like Mackinnon and Kucherov but it would still be a close call.

 

[BertCorbeau]

As much as I dislike the Canucks and Oilers, it's neat to see those two and the Flames atop the Pacific battling it out for top spot and playoff positioning.

Would make for a better playoff vibe.

Saw a Flames-Canucks playoff game in Calgary a few years back - amazing experience.

that contract IS no trade protection

So he satisfies one of the exposed players in the Seattle draft.

He wouldn't be anything without marner setting him up!

Can anyone explain to me why Rangers fans see DeAngelo as the second coming of Christ

I see an offensively talented defenseman shooting 11% and still underwater in expected goals

Habs beating the Panthers 3-0 after 2 periods. Looking good for us so far. Leafs have to win today. Yesterday we got nudged up into the WC spot without even playing, today let's go up into the 3rd Atlantic spot by beating a team that we should beat.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Scoring chances are 30-6 for the Habs after two periods.

lol

Haven't their top guys have been healthy this year.

Not sure, but Bobrovsky was injured for awhile, and their backup.

So he's been injured and bad?

 

[Big Muddy]

So he's been injured and bad?

He was injured and has just gotten back into the lineup. He was good the last game I saw him which might have been his first game since returning from injury. I think he was playing below his standard before that though.

There’s been more excitement in the last 10 minutes of the battle of Alberta than the entire battle of Ontario.

One hell of a fun game to watch when you don’t care who wins.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

The Draisaitl line is putting on a clinic.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

The Draisaitl line is putting on a clinic.

Yeah the score would be a lot more lopsided if Talbot didn’t come in sharp. Well as I say that of course he’s scored on..

 

[CelticDruid]

Old time hockey in Alberta, just way too much excitement and drama tonight.

Great game.

Need more of this in the NHL

Calgary/.Edmonton really heated man.

When was the last time the Leafs were involved in this much hatred? Man I miss the Darcy Tucker days

 

[Jozay]

What a rivalry. Really hope we see these teams go against each other in the playoffs.

Win or lose there was always a good fight or big hit with that group.

Montreal vs Toronto with Burke. That game where Kadri was kissed by Cherry, wasn’t it filled with fighting? Orr and Mclaren got into at least a fight a piece?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

They better not toss the goalies, that would be lame.

 

[Big Muddy]

Ya, watching the Oil vs Flames too. Lots of goals & fireworks. Heated rivals.

Lol yeah. That was a great one.

Clearly as Edmonton/Calgary is proving....you dont have to have goons to have that level of hatred.

You just gotta have players who have the emotion

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Both goalies tossed? So lame.

 

[stickty111]

And things just got crazy in Calgary.
