Yeah, I thought they were gonna come from behind like the other games. I think Holtby might have been able to steal that win, but the team played like crap till midway through the third. At least Ovi got a goal, 4 more to 500, and it looks like he's ramping up for a run on the Rocket just like last year.

If he keeps growing it and starts to go bald the NHL could quietly replace him with Fred Melamed without anyone noticing, and that's nothing but a good thing.

The Gallagher factor is strange yet undeniable at this point. He leaves the lineup for a month or so and they're utter dog poo poo that can't do anything, he's back one day and they have almost as many goals in that game as they did all last week. He probably should have been captain, like it's just crystal clear his value at this point.

The team voted like near unanimously for Patch. It's fine. Let's just be thankful that Goldblum didn't pull bridge contract shenanigans with him and instead got this:

Try telling that to my Habs friends. They very much hate Patches as Captain (calling him floaty) and think Gallagher should be. I feel like I'm always defending Patrioretty from them. Sure he's not Gallagher in the way he plays but he's still valuable. 16 goals is pretty good, plus his defensive play. I think Gallagher would be a fine captain, but I don't see Patches as a bad one either.

I think this is often overlooked. Its unfortunate if youre a fan of another team but its mostly a giant publicity stunt that is geared towards making boatloads of money from the biggest market teams in the game.

Jets-Wild would be amazing but probably better suited as a Heritage or Stadium Series game.

Sever.

Honestly I just disengage bad hockey opinions now because I am an arrogant condescending jerk with my spreadsheets. Sorry about your friends. It's exhausting having to fight against dumb hockey opinions all the time.
