You're Mr. Comedy, you are!Hey @DerekW and @GoLeafsGo....thanks for tonight.
However, I don't think wins against minor league teams count in the overall standings.

Nice chirp, lol
Seriously, 56 shots on net, Freddie Anderson for Vezina! and third game in a row Columbus had over 50 shots.

Yes, lots of shots, and Freddie was outstanding, but truthfully, a lot of the shots were from outside the real danger zone. Quite an exciting game though!
So, you are saying the Leafs game this Saturday is really an exhibition match?Hey @DerekW and @GoLeafsGo....thanks for tonight.

Well, that just about wraps it up for the Hawks this year.
I've never seen a meltdown like that before.

Really surprised by the Blackhawks this year. Did not see that coming.
It would be easy to blame the skid on losing Crwford in December and he still hasn't returned, but it's not just the fact that the backup goalies are allowing more goals. The Hawks offense became inconsistent after the new year and then quickly went consistently bad. The last couple of weeks they've been struggling with basic stuff like connecting with passes and setting up in the offense zone on power plays.
It's not like thay aren't trying. You can see they're busting their butts and that they're frustrated as hell with every loss.
Just painful to watch.
I suggest you leave your best guys at home for this game to get some rest. Pens with 10 wins in a row at home, and an overrated Leafs team isn't going to disturb that Saturday.

The B's have a 5-game road trip starting tomorrow in Vancouver, then 2 games in Alberta, on to Toronto, then to Baja Toronto (Buffalo). At least the late game (10 PM start) with the Canucks is on the weekend. To keep pace with their overall record, they would need 7 points. To keep up with their pace since January 1, they would need 8 points in the 5 games.
While it would probably be a more even game if we left our best guys home I don't see that happening....
The Bruins GM (Sweeney) as a "Try Hard" seems right. Firing Claude and hiring Cassidy appears to be a great move. The kids appear to be able to play and he has signed important young guys like Marchand, Pastrnak and Krug to deals fair to both sides. Some of the trades haven't worked out great, but it is hard to argue with the B's current record.
As a Canucks fan, I had no expectations or desire to make it to the playoffs.
I don't expect us to be playoff ready for the next two or three years. At least until we get rid of baggage aka Edler and Eriksson

I thought so too @DerekW.
I suppose there's always better, but I generally like the way ESPN covers the NHL.
