Their goaltending and defensive stats have been very good. Will they finish as the league's best team? Probably not. But they're not on the run they're on only simply because they're scoring goals.

Coconuts Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 I'm more impressed by what Winnipeg's done since the beginning of December though, they're better built than Edmonton and have a better chance of going deep imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, both are huge blows Winnipeg is continuing to win with Lowry and Namestnikov as top six centers Wouldn't be surprised if they were in on Lindholm, they need someone better behind Scheifele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 3 hours ago, Coconuts said: They need to show this to Huggy, so we can be more careful the next time we are in that situation. Got a little scary there last night. But leads to an interesting question: would Demko still get a shutout if Hughes did put it in his own net there?

In the Loui Eriksson game, Canucks end up winning the game 2-1 in a shoot-out. Miller had a 1.00 sv % and credited with the win, but no shut-out. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubois finding his game is a must, Kings invested too much in him for him to underwhelm the way he has thus far Less sure about Kopitar and Doughty, as future hall of famers still playing at a high level they know the season grind better than most Bergeron aged spectacularly, Kopitar is in the same league but without the fanfare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of some of the canuck squads at the end of the sedin era we had some good first half and then faded down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of some of the canuck squads at the end of the sedin era we had some good first half and then faded down the stretch. Yeah, but Kopitar is also that unicorn. As of today Bergeron is 38 and retired, Kopitar is 36 and still playing. Bergeron's last three seasons: 58 in 78, 65 in 73, 48 in 54. Kopitar's current season and previous two: 39 in 44, 74 in 82, 67 in 81. Kopitar's a bit younger, absolutely, but he's a stud and he's also a Selke caliber player, having won two of them and been in the conversation for more. Kopitar will be 37 in August and is signed for two more seasons, we'll see how he does but I expect he'll maintain the status quo or close to it. I've repeatedly sung Kopitar's praises, he's basically a superior version of Getzlaf. If he'd done what he's done out East instead of LA, he'd probably be more heralded.
