If I'm Ottawa I'm trading Brady Tkachuk now while his value is sky high. After you watch how USA he was and how emotional it seems pretty obvious that he will leave as a free agent same way his brother did and go play for an American team. They are dreaming if they think they can keep him happy in Ottawa.

Savoie just got his first NHL point with a beauty of a backhand pass from behind the net to Draisaitl.

You mean they didn’t bring him up and put him on a line with the Oiler equivalent of Tyson Jost and Brandon Biro?

More seriously, good for Savoie. I hope the kid has a great career.

Looked good in the first period but playing with Draisaitl didn't hurt him that's for sure. Flyers shut down all the Oilers in the third though. The Russians were well rested .

Savoie finished with an A and +1. (Skinner had less ice time than Savoie and -2 with no points.)

Would love to see him as a Sabre.  I would give up a lot to get him.

With 2 more today. OV is at 881 goals. 

Hat trick.

He has scored a lot of empty neck goals in his career but from inside his own blue line he almost put a dead center into the net...maybe 150 feet away

If the Sabres players had half the accuracy that Ovi has even shooting at an empty net, they'd probably have a few more empty net goals and a couple more wins because of it. 

41 games.. half of a season.. 29 goals. At his age. He's scoring at a nearly 60 goal Pace.

He's gonna do it this year isn't he? 

Do we think he'll retire if he does? He seems to have some more years in him, possibly making the new record nearly unattainable 

99 probably thought his was too tho

I think he’ll be tempted to try to push for 1000… but then actually will fall off the cliff before getting there.

I'm going to be in Las Vegas this week and I scored a cheap seat for the Golden Knights v Blackhawks game Thursday. I've always wanted to see a game there. Do they still put on the big show before games?

When I was there in October the plaza outside had lots going on before the game. Multiple "food truck" style things and a DJ.  There's no shortage of things in the area to do as well... naturally.

Don't they also do a parade with a band into the arena for fans? And then pregame the actual Golden Knight skates out and defeats an effigy of the whoever the opponent is?

When I went to a game there years ago, I actually cut through Ceasers (which is a cool @ss casino as well) and it was like a concert and a show before the game. Super nice atmosphere there for sure. 

And I dislike the city Vegas, so that's saying something..

No. I live in the MD/DC metro area. There has been no word or even speculation of his retirement, even if he passes Gretzky in goals.

Not sure about the parade but definitely the on-ice pre-game is there.  It was very entertaining.

Washington loses tonight, but Ovechkin with the only goal for them on the PP.

30 goals for him in 42 games.  Unless he hits a major wall or gets injured, he just might get the record this season.

11 more to tie, 12 to pass Gretzky with 23 games left.  He needs a goal every other game.

I also haven't been paying attention to the West, but Edmonton is fading a bit.

Lost 4 in a row and 6 of the last 8....and the 2 wins in there were both in OT. They haven't won a game in regulation in 9 games.  22 goals allowed in the last 4 games.

Every team has ups and downs, but they need to get some better goaltending and/or play better defensively or they are going to be in a bit of trouble come playoff time.
