Some people put a lot of weight into his comments, and insight into the game.

Not sure why, as I agree with you - having listened to him on the odd HNiC broadcast, guy sounds about as smart as my left sock.

The poor kid is playing center like he's a winger. Not that you're wrong, it's just...neither iz Biz.

If the right vets can reign him in, he'll be a player - a hell of a player too. But he's got nobody to play with. He's way too fast for his own good. It makes him look like he's playing like he's lost.

A season is just a snapshot of a time in a player's life. I'm not worried about Bedard, and he could use some tough love. Kid's gonna be alright.

He needs some skill around him. A trigger man, like Lekkerimaki or Boeser. But, what do they have that helps short term?
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Renaud Lavoie is suggesting there's some concern that Mathew Tkachuk's season might be over. He did not confirm it, just said "we're waiting for important medical results, we're hearing his year might be over, we don't want it to be, but there's some concern."
Rumours are that the Cats have been interested in Boeser for awhile and now perhaps they have capspace.

Make it so baldies.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

A night after the Caps put up 8g against the Pens and Ovi had no goals, they put up 7g against the Oilers and Ovi has a hat trick.

Oilers pulled the goalie late in a 6-3 game and Ovi got his third.

15 to go

Unless quanthockey updated an hour after the game, He was 15 back as of yesterday.

15-3=12…..to tie, plus 1 to own it himself. 13 is indeed the number.

Unless my math really sucks.

The Jets. Hot damn.

11 wins in a row, and now tied with the Caps for most goals scores (granted one more game played), and best in the league in goals against.

Who had the Jets or Caps with the President's trophy?
