That Oilers win was way closer than it needed it to be. I forgot that Ottawa is still an NHL team and they played good enough to beat the Oilers. That said I'd still confidently predict an EDM win tomorrow. Trust me when I say it's going to feel bad whatever club loses to this Ottawa team.
They were only given roughing minors. So technically no major fighting to be a third man in on.Yes, they were throwing fists.
That’s fair I missed on Josi, and Carlson on D though I stand by Jones being the 2D best Dbolded are names i absolutely wouldnt put above him.
Kane and Pastrnak are iffy. i wouldnt say either are but its close.
for dmen for me its Hedman/Josi and maybe Pietrangelo. for reference my top 10 is Mcdavid, Mackinnon, Crosby, Panarin, Hedman, Kucherov, Josi, Eichel, Matthews, Draisaitl, then Pastrnak/Marchand/Kane right after somewhere.
Ref was looking elsewhere. Dirtbag rules baybee.
One fight before this game. I don't know doesn't feel like real hatred like the Bruins but it's more like putting your little brother in line.The first one I understand, that second shot had both linesmen looking right at it, where else would the ref be looking? Good spot to pick, it worked.
If I recalled these two teams have had some fights earlier this season? Maybe we will see some fireworks this 3rd period.
MatthewsI can't see where this started, but who are you talking about?
Congrats on the win. Best of luck the rest of the way.
yeah Josi is a must have as the Norris winner but i wouldnt have an offensive d like Carlson above as good as he is.That’s fair I missed on Josi, and Carlson on D though I stand by Jones being the 2D best D
as for centres I just named players that are arguably around him, I think highy of Matthews and have him over Barzal and barkov but there is an argument to be made. I definitely think Kane and pasta are better but that’s just me
A lot of good players in the league rn and experience is something that gradually comes. Matthews Improved 2 way game only means he’s gonna keep getting better. His time will come at the top top

Coyotes might get their 3rd straight win vs the Blues tonight, that's interesting.
GameFlow has Ottawa being the better team in the 1st and 3rd with Edmonton being the better in the second. When you're team is better for 2/3rds of the game I take that as being better than the other.
Same
It's purely based off of advanced stats metrics (Which I will admit I hate but I like to look at every once in awhile). I prefer the old fashioned eye testEdmonton outshot and outscored Ottawa in the third, didn't give them any seriously dangerous looks and kept them hemmed in for some decent stretches, but sure you're probably right. (Full disclosure, I missed the first 5 minutes of the third so I might have missed something).
Taps on the hands aren't a penalty...normally.Hooks on the hands are penalties. Batting the puck over the glass not in your own zone, isn’t.
I like em, they cut the mustardI can't decide if I kinda like those Preds jerseys or if they're ugly as hell.
Sorry to spam the thread all night with blank messages. My text box disappeared yesterday and that was the only thing I could think of to try to get the attention of someone to fix it. Couldn't even send a PM.
