Not that it's news any of us like, I saw a stat after the hawks game tonight. The hawks have won 44 straight games that both Toews and Kane both score a goal. Toews has come out looking real good.
Hopeful they can will there way to another first round exit.

THE ATHLETIC IS GARBAGE
OTT losing Karlsson hurts, but Chabot sure makes that sting not hurt so bad. Kid is a 21 year old stud. Hopefully Cholo can get to that level. He pretty much shredded TMLs tonight and was the best player on the ice.

Stings almost worse imo. Chabot-Karlsson would have been very nice. It's going to be a meaningless career for Chabot in Ottawa though and he'll probably just ask for a trade or get to UFA asap.

Chabot, Stone and maybe Duchene (depends on how much you like Larkin) are better than anything we have. I have been saying that all summer when people listed Ottawa. Also this is a good Anderson year as he alternates. We will see since they would be wise to trade two of these players but yeah Ottawa is better than us right now.

Absolutely. You mentioned earlier about Ceci stepping up as well. I really liked the edge/attitude Ottawa displayed last night. It's odd people said they and Montreal would be worse but out of the gate they both look improved IMO. Should make the Atlantic more entertaining... and difficult for the Wings.

They are both terrible and far from improved. 1-2 games doesn't say much. Wings had a great start last season IIRC before falling down to earth.

Duchene and Stone are 100% gone by next year unless something drastically changes.
And I’m not sure they’re better than us.

I’ll tell you what, and this is definitely a case of hindsight; I wish we drafted this Pettersson kid. I doubted his talent in the 2017 draft year, but he looks like he HAS to be the front runner for the Calder.

I wanted to wait and see him on NA ice against NHL defenseman before I lost my mind like everyone on the prospect board.
But damn... that kid looks legit. I love how he is carrying on the torch with #40.

Obviously, there was no real chance for us to draft him either, but I really like his game.

Depends. Custance said we really liked Lias Anderson, and I remember reports that we really liked Heiskanen as well.
I'm very happy for Tats, I felt bad for him in Vegas - it was a momentum fueled locker room he had a hard time meshing with. The body language of his teammates in Montreal tells me they appreciate him as a dude and a player like they did in our locker room.
Noticed that too. Gally looked stoked for Tats. They seem to have some chemistry.
McDavid is easily the best player on the planet at the moment

I'm just glad he was able to (somewhat) silence the talk about Matthews overtaking him with his hot start. There is a reason McDavid is considered the obvious #1.
Oilers management doesn't deserve McDavid.
Detroit plays Tampa and the Cats play the Caps before we meet. Very good chance that the Cats-Wings game is a battle of the winless teams.

Florida won tonight in a shootout. I was hoping for a showdown of the last winless teams. We can join them at the one win table tomorrow instead.
