Still have the Penguins game later - go Sharks!

 

Aaron Dell in net for the Sharks.  Not holding my breath.  SJ playing well and losing 2-0. Panthers still a bigger concern than the Caps.

I hope he got there beforehand.

I think he left a day and a half ago, and I'm sure he could have flown through China or Mexico or some other country that allows travel to the USSR right now.

He's at least mildly friendly with the top of the Russian ruling class, so I'm sure a jet can be arranged.

Yep. I'm sure there's some commercial path (if it involves Russia) like US - London - Belarus - etc..

Putin will send him a private jet if he wants one. He's one of Putin's buddies and biggest ideological symbols.

Crosby top 10 in league scoring at 35. He’s somehow underrated. 

I’d really like to see Tage hold on to a top 10 spot as well. Will be tight

With an R^2 of 0.135.

That ranks right up there with average psychiatric theories of causation.  😉

I don't have a fancy chart, but when people tell other people to go jump in a lake, and they do, well, those people are more likely get wet more than others.

Ya, this sounds like bad news for some US teams, good thing the Sabres have MSG?

But it’s a flashy headline, that’s all it takes.

Looks like Buffalo is not the only team getting snubbed by college prospects.  

Pretty good RHD prospect here.

Oh, missed that.  Still, another decent prospect to consider if Johnson decides to move on.

Well that's kind of interesting as the rhetoric I grew up with (and I think is still around) is it's better to hit than be hit and it's the guy receiving the hit who gets hurt not the guy giving the hit. So I suppose teams that play more physical simply have players who play in a harder way that also gets them banged up. So are they minor injuries or serious ones would be one question. 

The other question would be how does that correlate with wins, and does it change in the playoffs (or even the second half of the season compared to the first). 

It's also possible I suppose that things have changed a lot and with all the equipment they wear you can get hurt hitting more than you used to. Interesting stat though for sure.

Im conflicted on Thrun… sounds like a good prospect, but I’m just getting over being told over and over again that Sean Malone and Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard by the play-by-play guys. Not sure I’m ready to hear that multiple times a game again.

The next post in the Twitter Thread is a chart that teams that get hit more get injured more.

 

I probably should have posted that one as well for clarification.

They were also snubbed years ago by Justin Schultz who signed as a free agent with Edmonton. That was a huge circus after he became a free agent.

So in other words teams that more prone to physical contact are more prone to injuries
