I'm hoping for a NYR-Washington series to see Rempe and Wilson give each other a double headshot.

Entertaining game. All the stars stepped up. Matthews, Nylander, Hughes, Hischier, Bratt, Max Willman.

The Minnesota Wild have a record of 13-6-4 against the Golden Knights all-time.

Helpful tidbit for considering the coming weeks. These guys get to battle it out twice.

Josh Doan scores! So awesome that he is a Coyote, atleast something is going right for them. This kid is going to be real good, I personally wouldn't be opposed to him joining his Dad in Toronto

Def rooting for my blues, Vegas’ schedule is a meat grinder.

2 Canucks, 2 wild, oilers, Avs, Coyotes. That’s mean, not anywhere near as mean as Washington’s, but mean enough that stl has hope.

But, and I know nobody cares, I’m officially joining the Jets bandwagon.

I don’t recall seeing jets fans much in chat, I have a slight man crush in Kyle Connor, they have the best goalies leading the league in combined sv% by a bit, Chevy is a top 3 gm imo - the adversity he faces can’t really get higher, the jets did hold first overall in standings for a bit, showing their possibility, they haven’t gone on a mega hot streak at the wrong time like Nashville. Imma send the jets my energy. They’re my dark horse. Adversity is important, theirs is well timed. A rebound from their current struggles will be very well timed. Their worst single cumulative stat relative to the league is their combined special teams - both extremely mid, and special teams matter a whole bunch less in the playoffs.

Guess the Woll got holes tonight


2nd game in 3 days after not playing for 3 weeks and coming back from a high ankle sprain...

I think you can give him a mulligan on this one, especially after Carolina

No Mulligan's this time of year its the race to the playoffs. He already got his months ago
If he had 5 of 6 good starts then sure but he hasnt.

NJ had an XG of 1.87 -1.95 for the majority of that game.

Keefe's assessment is spot on cannot be allowing first shot to go in again. "Oh he got left out to dry" so did Allen

Needs to find his game fast as we dont want early Sammy 2.0

and? He gets a mulligan because he's usually the one billing out Toronto (which is how he got hurt in the 1rst place) and he's had a bad recover time....

He bailed out Toronto once and that was the Carolina game. He really has not been good last 6

You don't get Mulligan this time of year and after his recent record

If he had put on 5 good starts before this maybe but its not been great

And its at the wrong time to, hopefully he improves but yea not great so far as it cant be early Sammy stuff especially rn.

Have you even watched the Leafs play as of late? Woll isn't exactly losing us games. We are playing like complete idiots, and half of our blue line is injured along with our best winger.

Leafs were doing that in front of Sammy but Leafs nation turned on him quick and thought after he was waived he was done we know the guilty people saying it...Then he had the redemption ark and never looked back

Again both sides yesterday left their goalies to dry but one made all the saves while the other did not

Woll's been struggling in 4 of his last 6 and we can blame ABC but he can also make a save to.

Were getting close to playoffs and its crunch time

Everything needs to improve and he needs to find his game is Sammy aint ready to go. He can goalie the other team to dont have to just be us lul

If every team has a crew looking at every entry to determine offsides the league should employ a team aswell. If there's an offside review that takes more than 30seconds the goal should stand.

That would require advanced thinking and the old fossils running the NHL dont seem to want progression unless they really have to lul

Like there are so many advancements NHL be hesitant to do that would help the game
