2021-22 NHL Season Thread

[T'Chenka]

For the first time of the season the Canadiens won two games in a row. If they don't stop winning it will endanger finishing last and having better odds of first draft pick.

Chiarot will be traded, as well as several of Petry, Kulak, Hammond, Hoffman, Lehkonen, Gallagher, Anderson, Paquette. Caufield could be sent to the AHL if he is playing to well and hurting Montreal's chances of finishing in last place.

Hasek is wilding. What do you expect Ovechkin to say? Realistically.

 Yeah, to say we should be suspending All-russian players contracts includes anti-Putin activists like Artemi Panarin.

I'm obviously no fan of ovi, Being a pens supporter. And even less so considering this a****** aggressively shilled and campaigned for Putin in the past. But a statement saying the war is bad is about the best one can expect considering his wife, children, and other family remain back in Russia.

I don't support the NHL allowing Ovechkin play and other Russians are banned from World Cup, thats a silly policy

About time you and I agreed on something.

[T'Chenka]

Tampa Bay made a big move. Going for the three-peat.

[sting in the rafters]

G trade finally happened. Too bad Homer/Hex/sabotaged his prime with a merry-go-round of human traffic cones for the blueline. Time for vicariously rooting for G to join the ranks of Carter/Richards/Gagne win on the Kings and Kimmo with the Hawks.

What the hell is it with the Blues lately? 2 weeks ago, the club had a firm grip on a Top 3 spot in the Central. Now, the Blues could be left out in the cold if they don't kick it into high gear.

They're looking alright in the last week. Odds of getting into the playoffs are high. They're probably going to play Minnesota (if they finish the season strong), Calgary or Colorado (if they almost miss the playoffs).

The Blues are in a battle with the Wild for 2nd place in the Central, thus meaning home-ice advantage for the projected series against them.

[T'Chenka]

My Leafs are looking pretty good right now... we just need the goaltending to not falter, to keep the goals against down and to hold onto leads when we get them. If they can do all three, we have a decent shot in the playoffs of getting past the first round.

they helped themselves a lot today.  Good time for them to get hot.

LGB!

Losing Tristan Jarry for the playoffs is going to make it a tougher road for the Penguins.  He wasn't a world beater last year but he's had a very good regular season and DeSmith just isn't as good.  Hextall could have shored up our goalie situation better, but he didn't.

Oh damn, I haven't paying attention for the last week. Yeah, that's rough. We also didn't extend Malkin or Letang, and I suppose there's some chance they don't re-sign in the off season. The next few months will be interesting, and maybe not in a good way.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

The Pens have already proven last month that they can't get the puck past, Mr. Vezina, so it was probably all for naught.

The Preds have clinched a playoff berth for the 8th straight year

[dead0man]

just found out Guy Lafleur died, one of the best of all time

[JGibson]

The Blues 16-game point streak ended in a 4-3 loss to the Avs last night.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

At the rate the Penguins are going we're going to out in 4 straight games again.

Some interesting first round matchups this year.

[JGibson]

The only game left in the regular season is tomorrow between the Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets. The game has no impact on playoff positioning for either team.
