NHL Regular Season 2017-18

Oilers winnin ugly, up 6-1 early in the 3rd then get an empty netter to hold on 7-5.

Talbot out at least 2 weeks, Brossoit is not NHL caliber, hardly a passable backup. Larson is also on IR, our best (was gonna say #1, but he doesn't score any) Dman.

Season is pretty much down the drain ugh, have won 2 in a row once all season.

Better than my Hometown Sarnia Sting last night (OHL-where Stamkos played junior, btw)

They were up 6-0... Lost 7-6 in overtime. Ouch.
 
Ouch. Bad bounce gives the Rangers a win in Pittsburgh.

The Red Wings beat up on Winnipeg 5-1!
Philadelphia wins on the road, snapping their wonderful losing streak!
Buffalo wins by scoring 4 goals in one game!

The hockey world is upside down right now...
 
Just heard Jagr not playing tonight. Good for the Leafs, but was looking forward to seeing him play in Toronto one last time.
The Flames could have used SOMEBODY who can shoot straight last night. Gaudreau missed about 5 perfectly set up chances that he normally would have buried each and every time, and he wasn't alone. Anderson stole that game for the Leafs, IMO.

That’s a fact, 47 saves.

Wonder if Tkachuck will get a suspension for his little spear at Martin from the bench. Mind you, Martin probably should have gotten a p malty for the hit that started it.
 
Tkachuk is already a repeat offender for this type of infraction. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he gets a game or two.

Speaking of penalties, that could have been a penalty shot when Gaudreau hauled down Marner in the last minute or so of OT. He finally got called the second time he hauled him down later that same shift, but not much PP time to help the Leafs much.

Yup, that definitely should have been a call, don’t know what the ref saw from his angle, but watching Marner always makes me laugh, he spends a lot of time down on the ice, but he pops up quickwatchung him makes me think of the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz, lol

Barely eeked out that W after falling apart at the very end of the 3rd. What an OT though. Cool game, sucks that Pens gave up a point to NYI though.

Totally.
Nothing is going to come easy this year for the Pens apparently. Hard to be frustrated after a win, but come on man. Hang on to a 3-1 lead would ya? You know, play 60 minutes.
