You know how there a thing called wordle and everyone doing it, well someone made one for hockey and it's called Gordle

I heard about this on Puck Soup the other day and it sounds awesome honestly. What was yesterday's? I got today's pretty quick but only got to _ER__ yesterday (HAYES MEIER HERTL) before I had to go to a meeting, and didn't get the chance to finish it.

I also did some strategy thinking, and I reckon LAINE then KYROU are the best first two words to get all the vowels, RLN (only missing ST for common consonants), and K and Y are pretty common in names. Some other pretty good starting ones are STONE and SUTER.

Yesterday’s was Gerbe, I had the _er _e and it took me a while to figure it out

Edit: I am definitely using Kyrou in the future, I was already using Laine because well he's a CBJ player and he was one of the first to come to mind usually

I was so dumb I couldn't figure out how it works so I tried Petry, Perry, Pesce, Price.. all with pretty much the same letters.

Before calling out the likes of Miller awful and Kakko and Schneider second liners I'd wait for them to turn 23 or 24. They're still all very young and at the beginning of their careers.


Miller has great physical tools but he has low hockey IQ. That doesn’t get better with age. The Rangers should probably trade him while he has value. With Kakko, it’s his 3rd year in the NHL and he hasn’t really done anything to lead you to believe he has top line upside. He plays with elite players and still produces at a bottom 6 rate.

I just don’t think In 5 years Miller, Kakko, or Schneider are players that you build around.They most likely won’t be high end players.

I had one error where it didn't load, but other than that there was no issue for me.

maybe it's because my school's wi-fi is usually terrible so i'm used to long wait times for CF to load

IMO, it was a fluke run. McDavid and Draisaitl can't carry the team the whole season, meanwhile they have abysmal goaltending, terrible defense, and the supporting cast of Zach Hyman, Puljujarvi etc. has fallen off a cliff. This looks more like the Oilers team I thought we'd see earlier in the season.

Some suggested they should clean house like Vancouver. Problem is all Vancouver's done since, is go from being in the running for draft #1 thru 4 into position #10 to 16 woo woo!
Cleaning house only killed the golden goose.

IMO, OIL aren't gonna succeed in '21-22 so should embrace the tank #b-trainforshane...

Points Percentage .200 (Last)
Goals Against/Game 4.13 (Last)
Save Percentage .865 (Last)
Goal Differential -27 (Last)
Penalty Kill 63.0% (Last)

Edmonton’s team save percentage over that stretch is a league-worst .856.

Um, a lot

EDM hasn't succeeded in anything since 2006 and even having two of the best players in the world doesn't seem to change that.
