Is it just me or is Curtis Lazar having zero points in 21 GP the most bizarre stat in the NHL right now?

Not to me really. I mean I guess zero is odd, but he just can't think the offensive game at the NHL yet (if he ever does). I think he'll figure it out, to a degree, and end up a decent 3rd liner in his prime but right now he does not get the offensive nuances of the NHL. Plus he's playing most of his time with the likes of Neil and an old Chris Kelly.

Zero points is just really bad though - shit even Ben Smith has 3 points and I could probably make the argument that if I learned how to take faceoffs like a pro and nothing else I could play as well as Ben Smith.

On another note, if Shane Doan disappeared from the face of the earth for the next 1.5 months so we don't have to hear about trade rumours for a 40 year old with 12 points and how "heartbreaking" it would be for him to leave his 8 fans behind (1 moved to Toronto already), it wouldn't be the worst thing.

Garnet Hathaway has 1 goal and 4 assists in 24 games played this season (although I think he suffered a shoulder injury against the Oilers on Saturday night and could miss some time).

Anton Rodin has a point in 3 games played this season but he cant get a sniff of the lineup because Willie D doesnt trust him and wants to keep his job because he has a bad knee

All a coach can hope is that they escape with enough life left in them to bring some effort to a failing expansion franchise.

The Islanders finally fired Capuano. Good riddance. Wonder who replaces him. Also the Islanders are a tire fire got to think Tavares is gone from there once he's a free agent.

Lehner throwing some kinda fit after being pulled, followed by flirting with a lady sitting next to the bench.

That wasn't pretty. Well, the lady was rather pretty but...

On the good side, the Leafs are on pace for 98 points.

On the bad side, Morgan Rielly left the game hurt. Landed awkwardly on his right leg, same leg he tore his ACL in his draft year.
