Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

I was about to say, I bet the king had one or two.
(Doubt it was the first ever though)

In terms of the Canucks breaking the streak?
Yeah, they have got their win for the month, they're good.
And the torts milestone is just meant to happen here.

From what I understand, his was the first one to be recorded as such. There were doubtlessly others prior.

Ughhh , come on Calgary. It can't happen vs Vancouver

Thanks for nothing Calgary

Borje Salming was the first player to ever record a Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

But otherwise, enjoy the ride friend. This must be fun as hell to watch right now.

The problem with being able to enjoy this is that they've had some really promising sections of seasons only to have major, major meltdowns. Makes it hard to get comfortable and sit back and watch.

Congrats on the win, 43. This Jackets team is very, very good. I thought Torts was done as a coach in this league, obviously I was wrong.

Torts, the caricature, is done. But this new guy seems to have a chance to do something. Kudos to him for changing his style.

I would strongly advise against checking current PDO standings.

Unfortunately the Jackets released Gregory Campbell today making it a little less likely we'll see a line brawl

One thing I'm really tired of hearing: Leafs fans relentlessly criticized Phil Kessel and ran him out of town as the lady who asks players generic questions during HNIC intermissions just insinuated.

Media =/= fans. If anything, a large section Leaf fans spent years trying to defend the trade that brought him here and argued relentlessly about how much better the team would be if he had a real no-bullshit 1C to skate with. It wasn't Leaf fans or fan-operated blogs who accused him to his face of being a coach killer or ran bullshit hit pieces once he left regarding his dietary choices.

On the flip, he's getting booed every time he touches the puck tonight lol.

PPG: Malkin (13) Asst: Schultz (13), Crosby (13)

Drew got his money's worth on that slash...

Somehow, some way, this is Wideman's fault...

Nice, crisp passing on the Jackets PP as they lead 2-0 after two periods.

 

[dash]

Jack Johnson almost sucked one back into his own net.

 

[dash]

All of a sudden, the Jackets and Canucks are tied 2-2.

 

[dash]

Ben Hutton had the best view in the place to see Saad give the Jackets a 3-2 lead.

Okay, that puck was deflected, but still Bob needs to make that save.

Congrats to Torts on getting his 500th career coaching win (Seth Jones with the OT winner).
