In America, bread shoots you

Passes like that are why people believe Lafreniere should have more points than what his totals currently indicate.

Also, get in! Big result especially after the OG at half time.

What do we think the lowest ticket prices are going to be? $5K?

Probably injuries. Grubauer and Hamilton really put a dent in my blueline and goaltending. Also Stuart Skinner's awful start led me to drop him because I'm a moron, but then I picked up Mark Ingram because I'm also super smart.

While that may be true, it also means Lafreniere is in fact top-6 quality for our team and would benefit from having top-6 PP minutes with a PP unit that doesn't consist of a retirement home and AHL plugs.

Monahan is going to be expensive. Having a great season, can slot in as a middle-6 center in a variety of roles, and at a very cap-friendly sub $2M deal so nobody needs to eat cap space by the deadline or get a third team involved. Would be a great pickup to since we have lost Chytil and Bonino flubbed, but would probably cost us Miller and will leave us with a hole to fill on defense.

So was Malkin to the Kings!

Hope he can just get healthy and have a decent quality of life, hockey or no hockey.

And since he entered the league in 2020-21 to now, Lafreniere is 3rd on the team with 54 EVG, and 5th on the team with 110 EVP.

If Lafreniere's effort can convert The Dude into a believer, the kid must be doing something right.

His next contract will probably be for $870K

Unfinished business after a record breaking regular season only to fizzle out in round 1 of the playoffs? The team is doing just fine without him.

You suck at flirting

It's been hard to compete with the newborn, so I appreciate the W. First game I got to watch entirely on the TV this season.

Wheeler scoring from the handicap spot!

That was less dumb

Wow that was the dumbest thing I’ve seen

And goaltending across the board has been atrocious

I don't know. I heard once that Knoblauch liked orange Gatorade. Hated that biosteel stuff. Decided to sneak that orange gatorade into the biosteel bottles on all the benches for all Edmonton games. Acted like the magic juice from Space Jam and really energized the team to turn their game around.

People are bitching about Blake Wheeler? Oh boy, just put him and Bailey on a line together. The only line those two should be on is the early bird special line at Golden Corral.

They cut Julien Gauthier so they got one thing right

Our xGA is 77.6 while our aGA is 85, a significant 7 goal upswing. Our team save % is .902% versus a league average of .898, so it may not be goaltending. We have a Scoring Chances For % of 50.9%, but a High Danger Chances For % of 48.5%, indicating that while we are driving play, we are letting our opponents have the bigger opportunities. We are also not converting our high danger chances as much as the rest of the league, 8.7% for us versus 9.5% for the league. We've been a team that has struggled to play team defense for years under a plethora of different head coaches with relatively the same core and team identity. We are icing almost exactly the same team, and expecting different results. We actually had different, better results when we were healthier. Then we lost Chytil, then Kakko, got back Fox...we just don't have the depth to make up for decent players. We're icing two fourth lines and our D remains unchanged despite being overall poor defenders. It'd be nice to capture lightning in a bottle with Vezina Shesterkin while we are dealing with these injuries. He's good enough while we are at full health, and as long as we're at full health going into the post-season, that's probably good enough.
