Wait, we're not passing the Bruins in a dramatic changing of the guard?

The prediction that never seems to come true.

Bad news for the flying Lindy’s 

[thewookie1]

Any idea how Markstrom’s doing in CGY. He has 7 saves over expected yet still has bad general stats. Would he be someone we should be targeting ?

[nfreeman]

Just noticed that Edmonton, which won 50 games last year, is getting dusted at home by Nashville, who is 4-6.  The Oilers are about to be 2-7-1.

I have not seen them play this year but it seems a lot of it has fallen apart. The Evander Kane cancer finally took hold?

[LabattBlue]

ROR off to a very good start. Love of the game back again?

Have we learned nothing? The implication, if you removed him, the team would be good?

Symptom, not cause 

[bob_sauve28]

Pens suck, that's great!! 

Please stay that way

I really wish the Dallas Stars would’ve left the north stars name in Minnesota. Love those retro green yellow and white uniforms and the original team name.

McDavid’s look on the bench after the game today and his post game interview was eye opening. Something  has got to give soon in Edmonton

[SDS]

Suck it Boston. Suck it Ullmark.

I know the logic, but the reality seems to be different. Personalities can destroy locker rooms. There's a consistent pattern with his career.

San Jose is horrible. 

They are about to be 0-10-1, have 12 goals so far, lost their last game 10-1, losing tonight 8-2

[Huckleberry]

Weakest division by far, and the oilers having a really bad start.

What's the difference between the Sharks and a triangle?

A triangle has three points!

[kas23]

No wins. Giving up 10 goals in consecutive games. Who are they tanking for?

So who do the Sharks have that KA should be talking to them about to help the Sabres? Certainly SJ seems to be in a mode of wanting to add some prospects.

They could really use VO’s skillset.

Good to see this guy find his feet. Sky’s the limit

Yeah, always liked him as a draft prospect.  Glad that he looks to have recovered from a very scary Covid illness.

I still remember coming out of my chair, fist pumping when they announced that the Sabres select from the Ottawa 67’s. I was 100% sure it was Rossi. I think Quinn will be better, the Sabres needed C depth at the time.

Rossi will get a great opportunity on the Wild, they don’t have much for skilled C.

Celebrini. Not sure he's worth a tank, but he's pretty good. No guarantees with the lottery of course.
