Garland was on the first line with Dvorak and Hall nearly all season!? How is that news?

And Stepan/Keller/Crouse has been the best line. One thing I think you miss in your analytics is the idea that the NHL thrives off of pairs, and often the third person is meant to complement the main pair. So in this case if Stepan and Keller are rolling, Crouse will get more minutes. You don’t replace him because you have other pairs you are trying to win with (Kessel/Schmaltz, Dvorak/Hall).

Anyways...game just got done and while it was closer than it needed to be, Coyotes looked like a playoff team. You underestimate them as a whole, but you are spot on that Kuemper and Hall were the two best players on the ice (with Josi deserving some votes too).

Your views are incorrect and you're a racist

Statistically, it was a near certainty, after Tanner gave a jab to Grabner, that Grabner scored the game winner. Priceless!

way out to lunch on this.

tanner's m.o. is shoving big mac's into his pie hole while having a smoke.

he'll turn around and lecture everyone else on global warming while at a personal level being an above average contributor to carbon and waste.

The best thing is that he's not even an American. Lol.

I couldnt give a shiiiit who the President , oops, PM of Canada is

Tanner, Crouse played more than Hayton, Because he's better than Hayton. What has Hayton done so far to make you say he's the most talented player on the ice? Anyways The blog was horrible. as always, and you are wrong about everything as always. Great goal Grabner! You are probably upset the best team in Hockey lost tonight. Have you ever been right? Ok, gotta go tan man.

How about those Leafs?

Do we know what the distance of that kick was? How about the speed relative to other kicks?

I never knew Keefe played for Torts. "He's very competitive, and thats all I will say on that matter." I guess he doesn't like Torts...what a suprise. He seems to be perfect coach for that team. In a few years I'm sure he'll wear out his welcome there too. Leafs getting swept. CLB is a tough team to gain the zone on....
