NHL Season 2018-19

Whoa! Islanders are in FIRST place in the Metro Division! When did this happen? Last time I looked they were a distant fourth?

With the Caps and Pens both sputtering lately, and Columbus just won't go away, the Isles stealthily slid up the ladder by playing some good, sound hockey. Props to Coach Trotz.
It's not just Trotz. It's him and his assistants, Lambert and probably most importantly Mitch Korn. Notice how good your goaltending is? That's Mitch.

With the Pens in the midst of their mid-season break, time to take in some WHL hockey.
Big game for the Thunderbirds tonight as they beat Spokane 2-1. This was the first victory over Spokane this season. Prior to tonight, they were 0-5 against them.
During the second intermission they do the 'chuck a puck' contest. You can buy rubber hockey pucks, and you chuck them at the car. First one to get a puck to land in the car through the open sunroof gets a sweet prize, then the second and third person do as well. Just not as cool as the first person. If your puck lands in one of those buckets, you get cool prizes too.
What kind of cool contests do they have at arenas where you attend games?

In NHL news, something interesting happened tonight that probably only I noticed.
Two eastern teams (NYI and CAR) traveled west and lost. Two western teams (SJ and ARI) traveled east and won.
Two sort of midwest teams (EDM and DET) played and one won.
