    Chris Kreider has been excellent to start the year. Talk about a key to the team doing well.

      Didn't watch the Jets/Bruins game today, but looks like a solid outing from Rask. 34 saves and 2 assists in a 4-1 win.

        Iginla is terrible, he's dragging down MacKinnon and Landeskog on the 1st line. Rantanen can't come back soon enough.

          And here comes another season of schizophrenic Flyers goal tending.

          Yaaa.

            Wednesday Night Hockey, featuring Laine vs Matthews!

            It's already started since last year with McDavid, but it's only gonna get bigger with all the hype Sportsnet and Canadian media in general is putting on the young guys. NHL needs to create those polarizing figures who are the stars of the leagues and can be like the Lebron,Durant,Curry,Trout,Harper type of player for them. Sure, they have Crosby,Ovechkin,Toews,Kane and all, but not one are on a Canadian market. If NHL is able to build themselves around Matthews,McDavid specifically, the future for them will be real bright from a business perspective.

            Matthews,McDavid will get more hype in Canada than Trout,Harper get in USA.

              Wild looked better tonight from what I could tell. Easier to score when you're not facing Jonathan Quick though.

              And a gorgeous OT winner by the Flames against Buffalo. One thing I *do* miss since renouncing my fandom is listening to Rick Jeanneret.

                That was kind of a weird game last night. It felt like we were on the brink of a very bad night, when Kuemper allowed that first goal and I think the Kings hit two posts. And then all the sudden: goal, goal, goal, goal. Lol

                Nice to see Coyle score again. I think he needs to lead the charge when it comes to the young guys on the team contributing more, if we're gonna want to make the playoffs, and make some noise.

                      Matthews didn't score on a breakaway and then Laine scores for a hat trick, what a game

                        Tough to watch hockey with baseball playoffs on. Really tough. I look forward to being able to devote more attention though after the World Series. Pissed that I missed this crazy Leafs/Jets game. Red Wings/Rangers was great too from what I heard.

                          Too true. Blues have to take a back seat right now - or at least a passenger-side seat because I've been watching their games on Foxsports Go instead of the TV when the Cubs are on.

                          They're off to a pretty good start, 3rd period vs. the Nucks notwithstanding. Still got a point out of that game though, and no regulation losses yet.

                            So true. If a ball game is on, I'm watching that over anything else.
                            But because the Cubs game wasn't on one of my subscribed channels, I got to watch the Leafs/Jets game tonight.

                            Speaking of which, it's official, I'm a Leafs fan now.
                            Win or lose, their games are hella entertaining.

                            And Laine is going to be fun to watch for a few seasons.

                              TSN reports Pens agree to 3 yr. extention w/ Matt Murray. MAF is now in the 'auditioning' phase of his career, let the trade rumor mill churn away.

                                Not much of a surprise,especially with expansion draft in 8 months. However, market will be very small for him I'd imagine. Whoever deals for him has to be OK with leaving whatever goalie is his backup, unprotected in the draft. While many backups aren't gonna be missed awhole lot, the amount a team would give up for Fleury will be a lot to begin with, so I'm sure they won't want to lose what is likely a young goalie for nothing.
