Gotta pull Niemi. He's having one of those nights.

That's more like it.

Oh come on, you gotta make that save.

I'd like to take the #1 Wild Card spot and face the Islanders (currently), or whoever wins the Metro division in the first round. I think if we play the Metro winner, and then the 2/3 team in the Metro, its an easy path and we have a chance to win 1 or 2 rounds. I don't think any of the teams in the Metro are that good. Of course, nothing is guaranteed. But thats better than being the second wildcard and facing Tampa, or even being third and playing the Leafs.

A few things. The last four games proved a few things. They dominated Winnipeg, played well against Toronto and came up short in OT, played well against Nashville but Nashville was still the better team, and played 40 minutes with Tampa but got killed in the third. Thats the top 4 teams in the NHL by points. In other words this is a good team, a playoff team, but not a true contender (and not one player away either). Going into the deadline that is good to know. The team can compete and when players already on the team and young... Kotkaniemi, Drouin, Domi, Mete, etc... along with prospects like Suzuki, Brook, Romanov take the next step, they will be there. As for the standings, The Sky is not falling, contrary to some posts here. Seeing as the Habs have more points than the third place team in the Metro, three teams would have to pass Montreal to knock the Habs out of the playoffs. (The first team to pass them would take third in that division). They also are not going to face another stretch that was as tough as their last four games. Points will be easier to come by from here.

If Puljujarvi ends up as another Armia, I think that would be very disappointing given his upside. As a junior player he was dominant in puck protection, with the ability to play a power game, take the puck to the net and score goals, he was also a very good passer. I don't know why, but he just doesn't seem to be developping in Edmonton. Still just 20, he might be worth the gamble depending on how much it costs. Look at Dylan Strome, he was written off as a bust, and Arizona gave up on him. He has 31 points in 34 games with Chicago. On the other hand there is the Nail Yakupov and two changes of scenery didn't help him. So he could be worth taking a gamble on, but the question is how much it would cost.

Ikonen adds a second goal, to get him to 5g in 10 games. Ylonen also has a big day with 2g, 1a. Romanov also picks up an assist today (and goes +2 in a season high 19:24 of ice time in the KHL)

Brook with 1g 1a last night Houde with 1g Today, Ikonen has a goal...4g in 10games this year.

Tooooooooomaasssss TAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Given that when Byron is healthy... one of Shaw/Byron ends up on the fourth line. then the rest of the fourth liners include Deslauriers, Thompson, Weise, Peca, and Hudon. Plus there is the possibility of bringing in Poehling after the NCAA season. I don't see why we'd get any more 4th liners.
-
Why?
-
Most teams in the NHL aren't playing 2 defencemen on the same unit. Most good PPs have 4 forwards on them. Our PP has been better in recent games with Kotkaniemi and Weber on opposite sides, giving two players for Drouin to set up for one timers. That second option on the other side of the ice is key as it prevents teams from overplaying the one shooter.
-
He was better than last year's pace before the last 17 games. I'm not sure whats happened there but he doesn't look the same as he did in Owen sound, or even in his first 4 or 5 games in guelph.
-
Not sure what is going on, if he's not finding chemistry in the new team, or if he's playing with some sort of injury, but something is happening there. He's still talented enough that I'm not too worried about it.

Walford gets another assist to continue his five game point streak

Isn't the ELC signing age determined by the year the contract begins on July 1st? That would be the case with a 35+ contract. So Poehling's signing date would be July 1st 2018?
-
Has Chaput joined in time for tonight's game
-
I think its true Reason being that Burning a year of an ELC is not the same as gaining a season of pro hockey towards things like arbitration and UFA status
-
16 goals are better than the 0 that was recieved in return. I would have rather played Andrighetto on the 2017 team that couldn't score goals over Martinsen.
-
I dont know that bertuzzi makes your point well as he was suspended for the rest of the 2004 season plus all of the 2004 playoffs. I also think that richard's suspension was even an outlier in the 50s, which was one of the reasons for the riot. So im not sure that the league has changed either. I do agree that suspensions are generally too light, just dont think that your examples are the best at showing things have changed over the years in the nhl. Its always been too loght with a couple of exceptions
-
I think its cause he missed. I would have given him more regardless of that though.

On Weise, we got rid of Schlemko's contract in the deal, and also picked up Folin as a RHD who replaces Alzner as our backup D man. We also gave up Froese. Even if he's a complete bust, there is nothing to complain about as Folin is an upgrade, and Schlemko/Froese are not losses to the team. Even salary wise its basically a wash between Schlemko and Weise next year, (250k difference).
