COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!
Oshie KO'd his own goaltender with a shoulder to the head.

It wasn't like a scrambly play either, Oshie just straight up nailed Samsonov. What the hell.

A shame that Tom Wilson forgot to tell TJ Oshie that he's supposed to target players on the other team with those hits.

Pretty much what you have to do to score when Leo komarov is your full time left wing

But really I feel like Barzal could do this 5 times a game if he wanted to, there aren't many people in the league capable of doing this but he's one of them

I feel like I'm watching NHL/MLB Network/NBATV/NFL Network with their sensory overload.

They need to put the scoring bug back in the upper left corner so I can immediately see if my dumb team is losing without having to clear the info bar from my box.

I still think the worst screw-up from that draft is the Oilers trading the 16th (Barzal) and 33rd (Mitchell Stephens, though the Isles flipped that pick up to get Beauvillier) overall picks for Griffin Reinhart. Good lord did Chiarelli ever suck.

Barzal hat trick and 2 assists, all at even strength, Eberle 2 goals and an assist. Leo komarov - 1 point on the same line all night

Has the league said anything about procuring vaccinations for all the players yet? It seems like vax is nearly plentiful enough (in the US at least) that it wouldn't be a scandal if the league bought 1,000 doses of J&J for all the players and coaches and staff.

Any discussion of the 2015 draft compels me to complain that the Leafs traded down the pick that the Flyers took Konecny with to select Travis Dermott (one pick before the good Sebastian Aho) and Jeremy Bracco. Dermott's turned into a replacement level bottom pairing D and Bracco sucked rear end.

Even if they simply placed that whole bar on top of the screen instead of bottom, it wouldn't look pretty but it would be 1000% better. This is so stupid.

That was the draft where they kept trading down because they desperately just wanted picks because Nonis had left the system so empty.

Their priority is making sure the ads they digitally insert onto the glass are visible longer, they could give a gently caress about making sure we can see plays on the near boards.

The NHL's mostly due to the US TV rights expiring.

With Disney the new majority rights owner, maybe it'll get better coverage there than cornhole

ESPN will devote plenty of time to the NHL... on ESPN+

the most they're going to get on actual television will be a game a week and maybe 90 seconds of highlights if the evening before somehow didn't have any NFL, NBA, college basketball, baseball, poker, or quidditch events

E: Playoffs might be another story but ESPN very quickly stopped giving much of a poo poo about the NHL by about 1999, even while they still had the TV rights.

No question of that, but they're so heavily invested in:

NFL
Fantasy
NFL Fantasy
Stephen A Smith
NBA
NFL Draft
NFL
Betting lines
Yankees
NFL
BoSox


And the NFL, that I've got a very hard time buying them devoting much time to anything outside of those. The NHL fills streaming program time for them and little else.

Gee, I guess on ice practicing may potentially lead to transmission of the virus but I'm sure the NHL will inform us otherwise.
