Just saw Barzal is pointless in 7 straight Time to give up on him ever truly breaking out and becoming a legit superstar?
If the Rangers don’t score an empty netter with 9 minutes of empty net time, they might as well concede the points
I like when teams pull the goalie with a shit ton of time left down multiple goals, goal differential always evens itself out in the end
I didn't see any negative comments about it this time but in the past I've seen people call that stuff bush league and idk why
With Buchnevich on IR and Blais getting sent down to the AHL for a conditioning stint, that trade is looking more equal by the day. Right?? Right!?…?
Blues should be big time sellers. He wont be one of them ORielly Tarasenko Accari Barbashev Mikkola Krug (if someone is dumb enough to take him)
Thought this was interesting "Using GSVA, I looked at the average most-used forward, second most-used forward all the way down to 12th — and then looked at how each team’s forward stacks up to their slot. On average, contenders earn 6.6 wins above average from their top six and just 0.7 wins from their bottom six. It’s clear where priorities lie. Seattle? It’s 3.4 wins below average with its top six, but 7.8 wins above average with its bottom six. The net result is worse, yes, but the bottom-six value is singularly dominant enough, creating a clear victory in those minutes. That’s Seattle’s edge, and plotting where each player ranks shows just how large that edge is."

It's a 2 min penalty. Nothing dirty. Dumb, yes. But it's 1 in 10000 that that play results in a concussion. It was a push, it was just his head hitting the ice in the worst way that caused a potential concussion.
The point of contact to begin with looks to be Myers’ shoulder/elbow to Beniers’ head. The other worrying thing is then Beniers’ head hitting the ice. I’m certainly biased because we kind of live and die by Beniers
If you injure an unsuspecting player on a stupid, unnecessary play, you should get a game Hits like that need to be out of the league.
