    Leafs get next 4 to win 8-6.

    Now that's entertaining hockey.
    Just curious but why was there day hockey today?

      Leafs/Shanahan(I think he's been the one leading it) wanting to put on an annual "Next Gen Game". A game where the focus is on the younger fans.

      Before the game they had a kids hockey team get to skate on the ice and feel like NHL players, the tv broadcast had a kid as one of the reporters, and they had a kid doing the player intros (poor kid probably expecting to announce Matthews and Marner got stuck with Mikheyev and others).

      They did it during the day since today's the first day of Christmas vacation for the kids. So its like when MLB has day games during weekdays in April or May. You're expecting it to be filled with many kids.

      And for the Leafs, this is a rare thing. They're always playing night games. I actually like the occasional weekday game. Leafs have fared fairly well in these games. The first one back in 2017 they beat the Canes 8-1. This year its 8-6.

        That's pretty cool, I personally wouldn't want to see more day games during the week but I like when it's done for something like that.

          Not during the week obviously (although I'm still sticking to my Canadian Thanksgiving tripleheader plan which NHL really needs to consider. Major TV opportunity right there in Canada).

          Weekends I wouldn't mind. I like watching Leafs on Saturday nights, but I wouldnt mind a Saturday afternoon game once or twice a season. Or a Sunday afternoon one on a week they dont play on Saturday.

            Canes fan here... very entertaining game to watch... very rare to see that much goal scoring but it was fun. Wish the Canes would have won but the Leafs were the better team in the third period.

              If Hart can get out of his own head when going on the road and play even close to what he plays like at home ... he's gonna soon become an elite goalie in this league.

                Nearing the halfway point of the season, looks like Bruins are a lock for the 1 seed.

                Leafs on pace for one of the 2 division spots. Tampa seems like they'll get the other spot. They've been out of playoff spot all season, but have played less games than others for basically the entire time.

                  Bad news for Leafs. Mikheyev nearly has his hand sliced off during the game last night and now reports say he's all but done for the year.

                  The way he was playing, he was on pace for almost 50 points and could've been in top 5 of calder trophy voting. All while making under 1m. For a team against the cap, this really hurts.

                    Leafs GM Kyle Dubas willingly spent his Christmas in NEW JERSEY, at the side of Mikheyev during his stay in the hospital.

                    Now that's a class act.

                        Alas. It would've been only the 2nd game in NHL history featuring a blown 6-0 lead.

                        Get the latest box score updates on the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Detroit Red Wings game played on February 23, 1989 on Hockey-Reference.com


                        Fun Fact: February 23, 1989 was the night of Laura Palmer's murder.

                            So Perry gets suspended for 5 games. One of those 5 games...his return to Anaheim.

                            The only other chance he has to play in Anaheim, April Fools Day.


                            Also, Habs signed Kovy.

                                Did I mention how much I hate shootouts?

                                And the NHL playoff format as a whole also sucks.
