After all that's gone on the last couple days I think tonight's drubbing of the Devils will really give the Sens players a lyft.
You know where they don't have Uber and Lyft?

Singapore.

I only liked this post because I couldn't find the "hook this straight to my veins" button

team bonding will do it every time.
in this case, they bonded over having to work for a shitty coach

Max Domi with his 9th goal last night has matched his entire goal total for last season.

Galchenyuk is doing well in AZ too after coming back from injury. Change of scenery etc.

/The Patches deal is also reflecting well on Bergevin so far, too.

Lindholm with 9 goals is over halfway to matching his goal total of 17 from last season. Hanifin is fitting in well with the Flames as well. Ferland and Hamilton are having pretty good starts in Carolina, although the Hurricanes team as a whole has been faltering as of late.

Carolina is the top team in the league in shots against yet they're mid-pack in goals against. If they can swing a trade for a goalie they'll be very difficult to score against.

On the other hand, they also lead the league in shots for but are bottom five in goals for, which is probably why they're mentioned as trade partners for Nylander every damn day.

Very strange team but there's definitely potential there.

While I've enjoyed this nice little run the Flames have had of late, they still have goaltending issues as these third period comebacks are unsustainable. Hopefully, Smith or Rittich can find their games because the Flames won't be able to continue to score their way out of trouble.

I don't think he's the answer, but Darling just returned after missing the first part of the season with injury. I think he's still slotted to be the primary starter, so if he can get back to somewhere in the range of his career average or better Sv%, they'll be in much better shape.

I'm not sold on Darling at all. Just don't see him as any kind of answer there.

But it's goalies, so who knows.

But Smith reduces hits on Flames d-men by 70% according to Brian Burke! Imagine if the defencemen had to take more hits!

Don't worry about tonight's game dash, the Ducks wouldn't hit a seven on a blackjack table much less an opposing player. You'd think since they never have puck possession they would hit more but apparently that isn't part of the Carlyle system anymore. I really think the Ducks are the worst team in the league that happen to have an all star net minder to mask it.

That Domi/Gally trade looks like it's working out for both teams. One of those rare trades where each team won.

FUUUUCK. You can't have two bad games in a row in this division. You might never catch up.

every couple of years, Malkin just proves he's a predatory piece of shit.
