That will be tough to overcome. At least they can slip to 4 or 5 in their Division and still get a WC. Probably.

Wow that one hurts a team playing well.
One positive is they have the forward depth, like moving Wheeler to Center, Armia/Matthiaw playing more to fill the void

Yup, much more depth than say the Oilers who if they were to lose McDavid would be in extremely dire straits. Don't get me wrong, it's still a big loss, but I think the Jets can survive until Scheifele returns.

Cheering for a Caps' 3rd place finish in the Metro or maybe even a wild card.

Getting my wish this week as they have been shut out the last two games.

Got a parlay of all the NHL road teams winning tonight. I'm sure the Habs will bite me but I've got to get my year end gambling on the books for tax purposes so why not.

Latest On Kris Letang Trade Rumors
With that said though Letang's contract ruins any good return.
Too bad he is back on the IR again.

 

[esls79]

Any team that trades for Letang is crazy - he does not look good out there this season.

Ducks on pace for 60 shots tonight against the Flames.

Nice game management by the refs in the Flames/Ducks game

In Vegas, it's not a 50/50 draw, it's a 51/49 draw - The house always wins.

William Karlsson gets the first hat trick for the Vegas Golden Knights (20th of the season).

Bills make the playoffs and goo goo dolls on my tv ... happy new years 1999 !!!

 

[Comeds]

Lol, there was an outdoor game today and I just heard of it. I am starting to question my heroin addiction resolution.

 

[tducey]

New year, wonder if the Knights finally cool off as the league enters its 2nd half.

Vintage Ovechkin tonight. Scores this beaut with less than 10 minutes left to tie the game:


Then puts in the sneaky wrister in OT to win it 5-4.

Sloppy, terrible game from both teams. But got the W. OV moves to 5th most goals with one franchise, passing Johnny Waynechise as he was known in his day. Or The Great Stick as some called him.

Time to complain about the coaches challenge since the Devils have been burned twice in the past three games.

The word conclusive is being thrown around very loosely these days. If a review takes 10 minutes that does not seem very conclusive to me. If it's an obvious call, if they legitimately got it wrong that's one thing. But unless it is without question it was the wrong call, do not overturn it.
