Mason Geertsen and Andreas Johnsson.

 

[Guttersniped]

Ondrej! And…

 

[Triumph]

Jeff Skinner btw scored 33 goals last year and is PPG so far this season.

Don't even entertain it, anyone who knew anything about hockey would never compare Jeff Skinner to Jesper Bratt, they are two completely different types of player.

Jack is the guy fans want to see and he deserves it. I would like to see Miles Wood wipe out doing the fastest skater competition.

Marino, because he is a God

Hamilton could go depending on competition for the defense. Vanacek shit out of luck with the Metro goaltending.

NHL awards watch: Robertson's Hart Trophy rise, Fox's Norris Trophy form, and more

Has Jason Robertson's strong season put him near the top of the Hart Trophy conversation? Plus other awards projections.

theathletic.com

There’s a Devil high up on every trophy here besides Vitek who’s “only” at #10 for the Vezina. And no Devils pacing to be in the top 10 for Art Ross and Rocket.

It’s a Dom article, so obviously it strictly analytic based, but very cool to see nonetheless.

Time to introduce the Rod Langway trophy so Siegs can win it. (I wouldn't be offended if they called the Stevens or Robinson trophy either)

I really wish they did the All Star game like this, obvious all stars get in and then a bunch of guys with specific skills in the random competitions. As terrible as he was, I always wanted to know how hard Gelinas could shoot the puck.

I hope Blackwood comes back and kicks ass. The only fear is he gets extended and stinks afterward but that seems so remote at this point.

[Better Call Sal]

This is cool. I love Tuna.

 

[Saugus]

What a goal by Tatar

I am truly astonished to learn that Tommy Novak is a real player. I had assumed that Leah Hextall simply made up a completely non-existent player.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Vitek Vezinachek

Plus Bratt already got more points ‘last’ year than Skinner in his best season.

Just sticking up for Skinner who seems to have rejuvenated his career a bit, or at least is playing in the top 6 where he belongs with a quality center instead of the 4th line for whatever reason during the early days of the deal.

Well the reason was Krueger was terrible coach who did Skinner dirty for no disernable reason.

I know all fans of losing teams bitch about coaches but Sabres have a real cause with him, Krueger was weirdly extra bad in peculiar ways.

This is cool. I love Tuna.

Wait...

"Sharny"???

New incoming Shara nickname!!!

 

[Stephen Gionta]

This is cool. I love Tuna.

Amanda Stein is so cringe oh my goodness

Skinner has 86 points in 103 games since the start of 2021-22, which is a 68 point pace per 82.

None.

But if we had to send someone? Vanecek.

In reality - Hischier, Hughes, Bratt, Hamilton, Siegenthaler, Marino, and Vanecek are all worthy of All Star Game consideration at this moment.
