hello bonjour, en francais we call the bread man l'homme de pain, because pain means bread and we're going to see a lot of pain this year and every nyrfan is looking forward to it and hey tony, can you wait until after my postgame interview to get on your phone? i thought you quit twitter...
How does Ovechkin fare with grinders? I feel like he's the type of player who can be on a line with two guys who dump and chase and he'll just find open space and score if they manage to get the puck off the boards.

Alex Ovechkin is the most selfish man on Earth so it doesn't matter who his wingers are.

One time I saw him pick up $1 on the ground and throw it away. He didn't want it, he just didn't want anyone else to have it.

I’m counting keeping the Lightning to two goals, one of which was practically an own-goal, a moral victory for this putrid defence

Also the Leafs really, really need a defender that doesn’t suck

It would help if NHL referees weren't in midseason "penalties? What penalties?" mode, missing more obvious calls than they bother to make. Also Kadri needs to drink more until he recovers from that snake bite.

He said he didn’t have a concussion, just that being elbowed in the neck made him feel off for a while. It’s funny how the NHL still pretends that neck injuries and “soft tissue” injuries aren’t brain damage (they are)

I'm glad the organization isn't rushing Timothy Liljegren. He's more of an offensive dman which we already have plenty of but I don't remember the last prospect on defense I was this excited about

The Safe Is Death sign comes down and CBJ end a brief skid. Coincidence?

Full disclosure, Safe Is Death has provided good hockey but they looked like poo the last three games. (Which, by the way, 0-2-1 does not equal five. Jeff Rimer is senile.)

Ovechkin - Stephenson - DSP

Connolly - Eller - Wilson
Burakovsky - Beagle - Chiasson

Djoos-Carlson
Orpik-Bowey
Orlov-Chorney

That sure is a first line.

I bitch, then the first two goals were Stephenson to Chiasson, then DSP. Ovechkin also owned, which helps.
