Feels like that’s the first time the flyers have scored 5 in forever

October 20th vs Boston? That didn’t happen.

Somebody needs a Bruce Boudreau Avatar with the caption "It's never too early for ice cream!"

I was hoping he'd mispronounce Louis Vuitton.

"What's inside 'Lewis Vutton'?"


He'll get his ninth coach soon enough assuming they hire a permanent coach to replace Yeo.

They make the change that people have been clamouring for for years and stop treating the fans like morons who can be deluded into thinking this team is good and suddenly it feels like there's actual hope and positivity again. Truly mind blowing stuff, how do they come up with it?

This fake drop-pass is filthy. My instinct is to make an unfavorable comparison to Carlson, but Johnny actually scored on the shootout to win last night, so

After years of "this slow rear end 6'3 defencemen who stickhandles like he's using a pool noodle will fix the defence," a simple admission that Benning didn't have the first idea what he was doing was an incredible breath of fresh air.

The positivity will fade but let me enjoy it for now.

But Draisaitl has 43 points already. This scoring race has Canadian media bias written all over it.

Seriously, that’s pretty crazy the rate these two are scoring at almost 2/game. I do hope it keeps up (just tomorrow).

If you thought NHL refs let penalties go, imagine what refs whose safe passage out of the country is at risk will be like...

I’m sure he has a setting to just play pond hockey that they can turn the robot to.

We should almost make a pool just for the group stage games to see who gets closest to predicting the scores. Prize could be a hat from the worst NHL team (in the standings) at the break.

Marner and Sandin to IR, Alex Steeves and Kristians Rubins called up

Steeves is interesting, he showed well during the prospect tourney and camp but he’s also a relatively mature first-year guy who you’d expect to be trying a little harder/have more advantages than the field. That the Leafs are calling him up would indicate that he’s shown something in the AHL worth looking at and his numbers are ok.

Rubins is filler, the Leafs D corps looks mighty shaky without Sandin. If only Pionk would have taken out Holl instead (actually impossible, Holl doesn’t have the mobility to cause a guy to stick out his knee).

That's the setting he has been set on since he started in the NHL.

If they turned him up even just to "Beer league" he would score 3 hat tricks a game and you would have 31 GMs wanting him banned from the league.

Note that goal differential is the tiebreaker and the best second place team gets a bye into the quarterfinals so the loser of Canada/US need to destroy China.

Based on schedule, the best case scenario for China is for Canada to beat the US in their game so they don’t need to worry about goals. The US plays China before the Canada game so they’ll need to pump China just in case.
