Jets vs Leafs could be a good appetizer before the Habs tonight. Don't like either team so I'm just hoping that they don't go to OT.

@dash - you mind telling the guys to lay an egg tonight? I feel deserving of a nice easy win tonight after the last couple of games starting at midnight.

Would love to see Romanov pair with Weber. Romanov has the speed, and Weber has experience.

Patrick Laine is currently on a 7 game pointless streak. Which ties his longest of his career.

Looks like Jets might have won that deal. PLD has looked really good on a good Jets team.

I'll wait until the Jackets get an NHL coach before I agree with that.

Oh joy. First PO Joseph was sent down and now they scratch Marino. I guess playing Buffalo means ah fuck it.

I just meant in the early stages. Won't be able to really know until a year or two to see how each players fits into the system.

Hell, it took years for us to see that we didn't get slaughtered in the Weber for PK trade.

Great defense by Letang/Dumoulin.

Go watch the goal the Penguins gave up to the Sabres, it will make you feel a tad bit better.

This is nuts, we have a no nhl experience coach with a record of 79-75 still coaching , he switches goalies game to game , we got snipers from who knows where , lol, Paneran , out cause of them .

it’s always something with the rangers...

 

[Eco]

Jets score first thanks to a poor turnover by the Leafs and a good assist from PLD.

 

[Pastafazul]

Quinn’s job, just sealed his firing.

back to back games , short handed goals

Enough is enough...

rangers are not a good team, but they are not this bad . Cant get rid of players, coach has to go.

 

[Eco]

Canes have 3 goals on 6 shots in Nashville.

Noice.
