I'm glad the NHL didn't take the low-hanging fruit and go to Jerry World, because playing an outdoor game inside would've been the dumbest god drat thing and yet I was expecting them to do it because Jerry World. Good on you, Gary.

Didn’t that happen with the Vancouver(?) game a few years back because the weather was crappy and they kept the roof closed?

Chiasson pretty much proves that anyone playing with McDavid should have at least ten goals. That team has the center depth to score more simply by stocking the lineup with decent role players.

Ovie taught Chiasson how to score.

Yeah he has to sit out either the game before the break against the Leafs in Toronto, or the game after the break against the Flames.

That's genius because he basically gives himself a 2 week vacation for the cost of a one game suspension that just extends his vacation anyway.

He did this in 2016 too. Like he say’s the Caps bye week is right next to it so he’s gonna take an extended vacation to be with his family and new son. Probably going back to the motherland.

The Canucks traded Nilsson and Archibald for Tom Pyatt, Mike McKenna and... a 6th round pick.

It's not much but I can't remember the last time Vancouver didn't throw in a pick on a deal.

We're up TWO 6th round picks in 2019 now!

I guess Demko will be called up as the full time backup now?

Someone correct me but did Benning just trade a backup goaltender and AHL trash for AHL trash, and a pick?

Jim Benning (maybe slightly) won a trade? I had been dreading his next move since Chirelli threw down the gauntlet.

Nilsson had to go. Markstrom has been playing out of his mind and will return to earth soon. He's still a servicable #1 for a team in the Canucks' position. Nilsson wasn't ever going to improve and it was time to clear out a roster spot to give someone else a shot.

Tom Pyatt was included in a trade in 2019 lmao. The key to a rebuild is to head into the draft with no picks

What are the odds this trade was done now to save Melnyk paying for their plane tickets

How sad is it that Benning is being lauded for moving a backup defencemen for a late pick in a so so draft? Is that really what counts as a success these days?

Not NHL, but still something:

...are two penalty shots allowable on the same play in the NHL? I'd never thought of the possibility until just now, usually because they seem to happen between the circles and the net so there wouldn't be enough time for two trips.

This is neat.

But it would be even better if the rules allowed for both penalty shots to be taken simultaneously rather than back-to-back.

This seems like the right way to handle this. It's unusual because the player who got hauled down got back up with the puck and was able to resume his breakaway. The defenceman was clearly expecting a whistle that didn't come.

The NHL should start awarding more penalty shots, preferably for stupid rules everybody already hates.
Puck over the glass? Penalty shot.
Hand on the faceoff? Penalty shot.
