Sam Gagner is now the only player in NHL history to be a part of more than one 14 game winning streak.

With the Hockey Canada news coming out today, the whole Corey Perry situation just shows once again that the league doesn't take these situations seriously. Also, the Oilers are complicit in signing Perry and in my opinion if you are happy about this signing, then you need to take a long look in the mirror and start re-evaluating some of your values. At the end of the day, it's just a game and doing the right thing should always take precedent over trying to win a championship.

Of the teams they lost against during their awful start to the year through the firing of Woodcroft only Calgary, Minny and SJ aren’t currently in a playoff spot.

Which means they’re likely somewhere in the middle. Which is where most reasonable people thought they were to begin with.

I'm still clinging to the fact that they're really not that good of a team, but they're getting crazy good goaltending and some timely scoring from unexpected sources. They're right up tight against the cap thus I can't see doing much at the trade deadline. No surprise that I'll be rooting against them every step of the way lol

recall that they have $3.2million in bonus overages for next year, due to Connor Brown playing more than 10 games.
36 games, 0 goals 4 assists -8.
but he hit his milestone!

Bonus overage also coming for Corey Perrys contract too

/ i think he gets his bonus if he can stay away from McDavids mom

And that he was this bad in the first 9 games and they could’ve waived him but didn’t (his agent probably wouldn’t have liked that but still).

Jackets had them against the ropes before the refs made some WTF calls on obvious dives and they pulled away. Had Skinner not made 2 WTF saves, the Jackets head into the third up 3-1.

And the Jackets sucked that game.

refs starting really early controlling the game to set up the playoffs. Usually they wait until Round 1

Just imagine winning 16 in a row before game 50 and still not being good enough to be higher than third in the division. Shows how awful they were.

Bookmarked.

Their biggest weakness is neither of those things.

It's their starter, He has terrible mechanics and is winning games by flailing and getting lucky on saves. When he crashes, it's gonna be huge.
