I like to think this gets quoted after every Jets road trip, but there's no way hockey players are that fun.

Second worst in goals against, they could shrug it off before, but it's, uh.... not really working out for them now.

Someone reminded me that Will Arnett is a Leafs fan and it really helps put BoJack Horseman's childhood into perspective. Arnett was 13 when that dickhead Gretzky high-sticked the blessed heroic Kingston boy.

Ovechkin - Stephenson - DSP
Vrana - Kuzy - Oshie
Connolly - Eller - Wilson
Burakovsky - Beagle - Chiasson

Djoos-Carlson
Orpik-Bowey
Orlov-Chorney

That sure is a first line.

Ovie's linemates have less points combined than he has goals. Do the Caps really have so little depth that they don't have a single vaguely offensive minded forward to play with him?

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
I thought Ovie played with Kuznetsov. Was that not a thing?

It was, it stopped working, so they went back to Backstrom. It seems to have worked so far for both the first and second line, at least when everyone is healthy.

Too many LWs I guess? I still feel like he'd be a better choice on his off-wing than DSP, but I can't skate backwards, so what do I know.

There's a coach's challenge for offside and goalie interference on goals now and it's kind of annoying but nowhere near as annoying as it was last year. Also they went to hybrid icing in like 2013 and there's 5 minutes of 3v3 overtime before shootouts now.

I think Bura normally plays RW on the third line, I assume it's more that he's coming off a healthy scratch and Barry doesn't want to send him straight to the top line. I mean I don't agree with that but that's Barry for ya
