Imo the NHL should make some changes to overtime

1. Make it sudden death (No shootout)

2. Not allowed to go back after crossing center ice (like backcourt violation in basketball)


At least experiment with sudden death 3on3 in the preseason (if they still have preseason games next year). If 90% end in under 10 mins then the shootout should be scrapped.

Wyatt Johnson may be making a realistic push for the Calder Trophy. He's now 2G ahead of MB and he has scored goals in 5 straight games. He still trails MB by 13 points, however.

He's played really well but I think name recognition alone will lock the Calder up for Beniers.

Barrett Hayton doesn’t get talked about enough - he’s close to a PPG over his last 30 games, great two way play and solid on the powerplay. It looks like he has what it takes to be a high end 2nd line center in the NHL

I am really liking the season Wyatt Johnston is having, 21 goals 36 points in 71 games as a rookie. DAL might be the best at identifying talent. They are so freaking stacked

Oh for sure , he’s a stud. Not great for the “draft is a crapshoot” crowd.

Way too inconsistent. Started the season with a 10 game pointless drought, and then had a 13 game pointless droughy shortly after

Cannot remember who proposed it, but I like:

1. 10-minute 3-v-3 with full extra point given to winner
2. Then shootout with 1/2 point given to winner

His play has been consistent despite the production not being there early on. He’s only 22

If you can throw a hit you will win over the isles fanbase no matter how bad the rest of your game is

64% of the fanbase chose Romanov

It’s comparing the 2. Most of the fanbase thinks Romanov is much better than Dobson

Lol i cant watch another low IQ defenseman who can’t defend.

I want Romanov to succeed, he could be a #4 D with the right coaching but right now he’s barely replacement level. Everyone loves the kid because he can throw a hit (which usually takes him out of position)

What happened to both of them? Romanov's EVD went from 5 last year to -2.7 this year. Dobson went from 0 to -3.9. Sorokin is going to have permanent back damage from carrying the Isles

sucks to hear that hes not doing good, he was a good second pair guy in MTL
xhekaj's a good playmaking defenseman who can indeed play defense and is basically romanov premium when it comes to hits

Off topic question, can you post Quinn Hughes' RAPM chart. He made a comment yesterday calling out the people who say he is a defensive liability. I was pretty shocked to see his EVD and Off to be positive

I like Xhekaj. Good story, fun to watch him beat people up, but he is just not a good player at all. His EVO, EVD, Off, Def, GAR, WAR, xEVO, xEVD, xOff, xDef, xGAR, xWAR are all in the negatives. He is actively hurting the Habs when he is playing

Do you believe the nucks can make a push next year if they structure the bottom six and defense the right way.

Never watched him play but he could be one of those guys that are sh*t with analytics

Essentially he is hurting the team more than he is helping. He is a liability defensively, and is not good offensively. His negative wins above replacement basically means that a 7th defenseman would have a better impact than Xhekaj

They need a middle 6 C, and 2 more top 4 defensemen to become contenders. Bottom 6 doesn't need re-structuring other than that 3C. Miller has been playing a lot better recently so maybe he can hold down the 2C spot. Doesn't seem like much, but they don't just grow on trees. If they play their cards right, they are likely a bubble team if Demko plays like normal

The forwards being bad definitely played a role. Dobson has always been bad defensively at 5v5, but he’s good on the PK. Romanov just sucks at 5v5 both ends of the ice.

There’s a narrative going around that Romanov carried Dobson…
