The Caps were amazing in November. Then they had that third period last night which was an awful bad nightmare and I’m pretending never happened.

Boudreau is one of those short shelf life coaches, right? He starts out real good, gets everyone working together then production falls off a cliff and he gets fired again.

This but he’s an awesome guy off the ice and the players all love him to death.

No because I’m pretty sure that total goals scored affects seeding positions in the next round of the tournament.

McPhee mostly picked around the edges in Washington... Wideman was a decent acquisition, dumping Varlamov for a 1st was fine given their goalie pipeline, Neuvirth for rental Halak was solid, a 1st for Brouwer was... probably not ideal (that pick became Philipp Denault) but he was a decent middle six guy at the time

But how can you forget this "aggressive" doozy



It hurts a lot less these days since we did win a cup. But gently caress me it still hurts. All the good GM’s have that one trade they royally gently caress up.

Calling it now; the NHL will not go to the Olympics any time soon, and McDavid won't play for Team Canada there in his career.

The NHL is very desperate to grow the game in China and tap that market for more money. (NBA is the same and other leagues too.) They’re going unless the IOC pulls out or delays the games completely.

Lol, I’d find that hilarious if I was Ukko-Pekka. In fact, I’d probably go ahead and tell everyone that Ukko-Pekka is in fact Finnish for Uber-Pecker.

John Carlson is the highest scoring defenseman of the last 5-6 seasons and a perennial Norris finalist. I think plenty of teams would be happy to get that out of a first overall pick.

He’s been prone to bad turnovers and sloppy defensive play this year. There’s a contingent of the fan base all in on trading him. I’m annoyed at his gafs but I’m definitely not on the trade bandwagon.

I like how the new interim coach for the Jets hooked us with a second goalie pull so Ovi could get an empty netter and keep chasing Gretzky.

Brett Connolly is going to have a DOPS hearing for that hit. I think most of us feel it wasn’t malicious or intentional but he probably still should get some games off.

ESPN citing “league sources” that the NHL is going to opt out the Olympics. They have until the 10th to avoid penalties. I don’t know if China can delay the Olympics a few months or if some events have to be in dead of winter. Might be best to just delay a whole year and see where the pandemic is then.

NHL has flipped like 3 times tonight on whether Ovi score a PPG to take the record for most PPGs scored ever. As of now, they gave it back to him (again), but by morning, maybe they’ll take it away (again)!

Their PP has been kind of impressively bad this season. You can hang a lot of it on having Backstrom and Oshie out so much, but their setup has too few new wrinkles for how long they've been using it.

e: Having said that, I'll take being a top 5 team at 5v5 any day. If the playoffs do end up happening, special teams is kind of ancillary. (Would be rad if the goaltending was better though.)

Samsonov is coming around, slowly and painfully. He needs to stay out there every game except for back 2 backs. The development is happening. He does need to hit another level if we’re going to make another cup run this year. I cringe every time somebody gets a solo breakaway in on him.
