"The Habs had the most hits. The Oilers were second. Coyotes fourth. Sens fifth. Hmmm @JasonBroughTSN"

"I love hits and blocked shots totals. In both cases of course, you don’t have the puck. Just think how long you can’t have the puck to lead the league! There seems to be something connecting the teams you mentioned" (Ray Ferraro)


I guess Ray is saying you suck if you're always hitting because it means you're chasing the game.

it's turned into a possession game. LA/Vegas is all anyone should need to see to know that brand of hockey is dead unless we changed the rules again. Need to focus on speed, on that note I'm pretty high on Hughes watching him in the IIHF

Top 5 hit leaders in the NHL
Nikita Zadorov, Milan Lucic, Chris Wagner, Tom Wilson & Michael Del Zotto

He's right in a sense.

I can't stop writing about Elias Pettersson, because he won't stop scoring!

He leads off the new blog once again, plus news from Finland, Utica and Magnitogorsk.

Carol's early so it looks like we came up short.

But so close....

I’d be on board with that as well.

Agree on the defense, they only have 2 top 4 dmen and 1 can’t stay healthy

2nd last to 6th last so yeah I suppose they did help, you could probably hang three of those spots directly on Boeser though?

15 non playoff teams.
Nit picky semantics..

A week until draft lottery and I sure hope we win a top 3 ball. Number one is obvious but if we win 2 or 3 I would take a forward and try to fix one problem per year .

Using a 1-10 scale to look at the team overall .

Goal 6

LHD 7 Edler MDZ OJ Sautner Hutton (Trade)

RHD 5 Tanev Stecher Biega Gudbrandson Pouliot

Forwards 6

My hope is to draft a top 6 forward and hopefully trade using Tanev to acquire a second top 6 forward and move up to a 7.5 ranking .

The RHD is going to take time and I hope suffer this year and try to fix in free agency in 2019

RHD takes a ton of money. EK OEL Carlson

If we slide all the way to 9th, depending on which dmen are taken I'd be prett ydown with picking Joe Voleno. Didn't make too much noise until this year, best Center in the draft IMO.

3C is no help for us. Top 6F or top 2-3D

D needs overhaul, trade Tanev and Hutton.

Then overhaul = UFA.....Who?

It's easy to ask questions & Ek makes thousands of dollars a year doing just that. What we need are answers!

I don't feel that we all gave 110% today. Too many passengers. If we're gonna make it we're going to need everybody stepping up and contributing for a full 60 minutes.

Does this help.

I know this is late, but, maybe this will get to 30.
