What happened to Nathan Gerbe??

He plays for Cleveland in the AHL.

 

[Gnashville]

He plays for Cleveland in the AHL.

Ok I thought he was the smallest player but he’s not in the NHL now.

Not sure if anyone watched the Carolina v Hawks game last night but there was a little shirtless boy pressed up against the glass that popped up and he had me dying for a bit. Kids are funny, I sit at the arena with a hoodie and jersey on and im freezing.

St. Louis is figuring it out

St. Louis is figuring it out

I'm still will be heavily dependent on goaltending. If Allen doesnt get his head on straight then Johnson will have to become Hutton 2.0. Hes played two straight good games but I'm not sure he can carry them all season

 

[Marty Party]

Sens beat the Bolts. Leafs lose also. I like it.

Hes starting his 3rd game in a row. Allen has basically lost his starting job again.

Its amazing how the blues defense is good enough it can make career backups in elliot, hutton and johnson look amazing but allen still sucks behind them. Management needs to stop trying to force jake allen as a starter.

Was just coming to post that Yeo is riding Johnson like a rented mule. With Yeo likely afraid for his job he'd better hope Johnson can hold up...

 

[King Weber]

Rough year for the Kings. Both Quick and Campbell out long term..

With all our injury woes it may have gone unnoticed that Tampas starting goalie broke his foot and is out for 4 weeks

Tampa's starting goalie is way easier to spell. But yeah that sucks for them.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Just like the Preds keep on finding defenseman gems after the 1st round, Sens keep finding forward gems. Batherson is literally Mark Stone's doppelgagner.

Tampa beat Pittsburgh 4-3

Point for Tampa scored a hat trick in 1:31 of playing time.

Goal 1 - 19:57 of first period (PPG)
Goal 2 - 0:41 of second period (PPG)
Goal 3 - 1:28 of third period (PPG)

All of the Tampa goals were scored on the PP, and in fact 6 of 7 goals in the game were scored on the PP.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

That Barry Trotz is a pretty damn good coach huh? Who had the Isles sitting 2 points out of 1st at this point in the season with that roster?

I watched most of that game- if you want to see the polar opposite of our PP, that was it. Good gracious their power play was a thing of beauty. 4/4 on their first 4 power plays (two of them were 5 on 3 though).

Marchand did it again last night.... got called for a penalty that was almost certainly embellishment then showed his ass in the box and got an extra 10. Seems the refs are tired of his bs.

Good. So am I.

EDM getting embarrassed at home vs VGK. But..but.McDavid!

I'd feel bad for him, but he was the one dumb enough to sign that long term deal.

 

[bdub24]

I had asked earlier this year what the reaction will be when he asks for a trade. It's only a matter of time. He deserves to play for a contending team.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Some fascinating stats at the 20 game mark.

Mikko Rantanen has 32 points in 20 games. Unreal.

Morgan Reilly, Thomas Chabot, Brent Burns and John Carlson are all over a point per game as defensemen. I'd have said maybe two of those at the start of the year.

The central maybe a deeper division and have better teams, but the Atlantic has all the top end talent. They currently have 7 players in the top 10 for scoring. *5 players tied for #10.

Atlantic 7
Central 4
Metro 2
Pacific 1

Shockingly, McDavid does not lead NHL forwards in ice time. That title goes to Mark Scheifele who has a full :12 per shift longer. Kopitar is also ahead of McDavid by :07.

That does surprise me. When I watch EDM games it feels as if McDavid never comes off the ice.

Wasn't there a game this year where he had like 29 minutes of ice time?

Per game ... not per shift. On a per shift basis, Ovechkin leads the league at 1:00 per shift.
