One of those was Myers, and that wasn't a dirty hit from Myers because he knew no one was there to fight Crosby, it was just a typical Myers not understanding how to deliver a clean check.

Really? I know one was an outdoor game, and I have no recollection of Myers delivering a significant concussion to Sid. I feel like that would have been brought up on here a lot Edited by WildCard

Yeah, I'm almost positive Myers hit him after he got back from that first one, and then he was gone for a long time after

Peguin's are 5-0 without Malkin so far. Could they possibly be better without him in the lineup? I said it last year and I'll say it again, they should have/should trade him

I agree. They should trade Malkin and use that Salary for a good 2 way winger and a solid top 4 defender.

They seemed to be pretty good when Malkin won the Hart with Crosby out.

Was messing around with stats on NHL.com and the leading scorer this calendar year is Sydney Crosby with 49 points in 35 games. Joe Thornton is #2 (44 points). Evgeny Kuznetsov is #3 (40 points). Anze Kopitar is #4 (37 points). Patrick Kane is tied with Kris Letang at #5 (36 points).

 

Eichel is a solid 40th (26 points) tied with guys like Toews, Bergeron, Kessel, Spezza and Blake Wheeler.

Meanwhile in Minnesota

 

Looks like Thomas Vanek will be a healthy scratch for the third straight game. #mnwild

Wait. really?

 

Just for giggles - a recent #hottake from a MN Wild message board

 

 

IMO WAS a huge part of the Wild's problem.  He poisoned the room.   Still think Parise calling him "Selke" is just harmless kidding?  I don't.  How could the rest of the team not resent him getting all that ice time and prime PP time and simply mailing it in game after game after game?  Absolutely no accountability under Yeo.   Vanek was an embarrassment to the game, the league and hockey in general.   How could that NOT have a large negative impact on the roster, especially the young guys who were obviously getting screwed in the deal?  

 

I've been working for a living for a long time.   A dud like that, who's lazy and gets away with it, pizzes off everyone, especially people directly affected by the laziness. 

 

I hope Vanek sits the rest of the year; that would be the best thing for the team IMO.

Ryan Miller gonna hang them up after this season? What a miserable situation to be in. Canucks 5-12 in their last 17, lost 5 straight and have been shutout 3 straight. That team is a disaster. 

 

Not implying that he should, or this has anything to do with him....... but where do you go from here?
