Avs are also a team you'd expect to dismantle what should be a young up and coming team They still have a championship caliber roster

They should be better than they have been but they were also missing Thompson for a while and that was a big hit Honestly, I think they might have to go out and find themselves a legit starter, Luukonen and Levi might not be ready to be the guy Buffalo's probably a starter, a more defensive oriented bottom six, and a veteran shutdown D away from being a playoff team

Avs running right over Buffalo, they've scored three goals and Buffalo has yet to register a shot

Lot of great players don't have cups, including Iginla and the Sedin's

Hughes in OT

Maybe, maybe not, but he's one of the few D with a chance of hitting 1k points Sits at 782, should be well over 800 by the end of the season if he keeps it up Karlsson is in many ways the template for the younger D we've seen step into the league like Hughes, Makar, ect He was doing what they do now back in the earlier 2010's

Feelings aren't reciprocated

Karlsson hasn't been the offensive monster he was last season but he's still quietly up to 21 points in 28 games, he seems to be fitting in well

Looks like the Pens have finally gotten their powerplay going the past couple games, that's a good sign for their playoff hopes

When the chips are down he's one of the greatest, there's a reason he's won as much as he had at every level

Crosby looking ageless out there, dude is still elite

Blackhawks alumni, Duncan

Eh, maybe, maybe not Odds are he won't be back but Allvin and Rutherford have been in this business long enough that they probably wouldn't hold a grudge over a player taking a different opportunity Particularly if he's actually offered more money and term elsewhere, bottom pairing guys like Bear don't have the luxury legit top four guys have, every opportunity could potentially be their last NHL gig

Not great but it could be worse, holidays and maybe some of the all-star break eat up some of it Also gives him enough runway to get back into the swing of things down the stretch before the playoffs, assuming the Jets can maintain their spot or stay in the mix without him Big blow Could allow another team to creep into the central or grab a wildcard position

Times are a changing in Minny

Everyone reporting on Bear's contract has gone into hibernation for the winter

Any update on this rumour?

Blues keep Petro and maybe they win another cup, and Vegas probably doesn't

Might I interest anyone in former 13OA pick in 2015 (the disastrous Bruins draft) Jakub Zboril If nothing else we can take this opportunity to laugh at Boston https://thehockeywriters.com/bruins-2015-draft-missed-opportunities/

I've only ever been to one Canucks game, it was back during the later 2010's and we won against Nashville. A buddy had tickets for him and his girlfriend but he'd overdone it drinking the night before and was sick as a dog, my brother and I had to scramble and get our asses on a ferry last minute and cut it pretty close timewise. I don't live on the island right now, I'll go back within probably 3-4 years, but when I lived there I rarely left it for anything. I'd hop on the ferry maybe 2-3 times a year (round trip). Leaving the island for anything is a pain: if you want to take a vehicle you get gouged both ways, if you wanna stay it gets even more expensive, and then you're eating and all that other stuff, Canucks games were ultimately more expensive than they were worth at the end of the day. Day trip Canucks games were only really feasible when there were earlier starts and I just couldn't be bothered. If I'd lived on the mainland I'd have likely gone more frequently.

I think we keep Brock, I think both the Canucks and Kuzmenko move on. I think it'll be one or the other, both Brock and Kuz are due for new deals in the same offseason. Brock's shooting percentage isn't sustainable the same way Kuzmenko's wasn't last year, but I think his overall two-way game is better and that'll probably be the difference. Not only that, but Brock's more likely to give us a better deal given his deep roots here. I think we ultimately look for a different kind of player to slot into Kuzmenko's spot, whether that be an internal replacement, a trade acquisition, or a UFA.

5-3 Florida Reinhart GWG Canucks more saves

Aye, if Draisaitl heats up too look out I don't like the Oil at all, but McDavid and Draisaitl are two of the best McDavid looks poised to go on another Art Ross run, if they get a wildcard he probably gets the Hart too 6 goals and 25 points in his last 10, nobody can ratchet things up like McDavid when he's on, like him or not that talent is undeniable
