Do some additional training for refs to spot diving, and we'll have even fewer stoppages!

It could also have something to do with playing with Hutson, no?

I think no. And one of Commandant's points is that he will not get any better sitting in the press box at Bell Centre. If we want him to be a legitimate NHL player, he needs to do his time in the AHL first.

Three points away from a wildcard spot … and also only two points away from picking eighth overall. It’s amazing how tight it is.

Ahh ... that was another NHL "C" designation on the trade line. Very annoying that so many wingers are marked as centres.

WIld picks up Nyquist for a second. How does he compare to Evans?

To FLA: Seth Jones To CHI: Spencer Knight, 2027 1st 2027! Yes, long-term picks are in the offing.

I could be happy just finishing ahead of the Bruins 🙂

Not the likeliest scenario but let's hope he is at least halfway between recent form and what we saw earlier.

If not 2C, he may still be a credible middle-six winger. or possibly 3C. Remains to be seen.

Indeed there was a fairly long dry spell. Caufield and Hutson are good portents, and hopefully a few more of the recent late picks can turn into gems yet. As Commandant said, it's necessary in order to sustain a position of strength.

Going back a bit further, how about Pacioretty, Subban, Gallagher and Lehkonen? And maybe one of Guhle or Mailloux will yet turn into a jewel.

Looking at the season in two segments so far: First 28 games: 14 minors (not counting majors as they typically don't cause a power play) Last 28 games: 7 minors It seems that there is some improvement.

Do need to play better if they want to win this ...

And in contrast to Mr Gretzky, I give you Jesse Marsch, the coach of the Canadian men’s soccer team and a former US international player.

@GHT120, I presume.

The fans didn't boo the players. They booed the anthem of a country that is waging economic war on us and threatening to annex us.

That does not bode well for a playoff run.

That's 50% again in the third period! Not so happy about the Anderson incident. 😡

The Canes seem to be doing a lot of holding of sticks. Including Xhekaj's when he got called.

As long as they can sustain that 50% shooting percentage we should be golden! 😂

It's far from the first time but I haven't seen any actual stats or counts on that.

I think that's because they took the opening faceoff.

Kind of like Armia? He did the mental health work he needed but never really talked about it to the media. One the other hand, the media is certainly far more interested in talking to Slafkovsky than Armia ...

That may be a language issue there. What he needs to do is play with intensity, and it may well be what he actually meant.
