Give Buffalo credit. While the Canucks and Leafs flirt with competence, the Sabres have seized this opening to consolidate their position on top of the NHL's Most Cursed Franchise podium.

Buffalo is just American Toronto (in sports at least).

In a span of 10 days, Avs got rid of their #1 and #2 goalie heading into the season.

2nd time this organization got rid of Kovalenko for a goalie too. Obviously means Blackwood is the next Patrick Roy.

Pretty sure this is the 1st time Jocelyn Thibault's name has popped into my brain in the last 20 years.

EDIT: Also, does this mean that Blackwood will be starting for Canada at the 2026 Olympics?

To think, Rangers once had Lundqvist, Georgiev and Shesterkin. They made the right choice in who to keep. Georgiev going to Colorado looked like he'd be a top 10 goalie, then fell off last year.

There's definitely jokes to be made about the Blackwood/Wedgewood combo. But don't think either will help the Avs at all either...

Such a weird feeling as a Leafs fan seeing all these goalie moves happening around the league and for the first time ever, we're actually in a better spot that most teams when it comes to goaltending/depth. At the point where I even wonder if someone tries offering something for one of their AHL guys since this Woll/Stolarz duo (if healthy) could be the best goalie duo in hockey this year if they continue their pace.

Leafs with 11 TOTAL shots in regulation, Devils AVERAGED 12 shots per period.

Leafs win 2-1 in OT.

Just wanted to say Kirill Kaprisov has reached his final form. That is all.

Oh yeah and also our goalie scored a goal this season, so that was cool.
