And the Hawks blow a 2-0 lead to the Wild. Yo Strife, if your guys can finish the job and get everyone on the Blackhawks fired, that would be greatly appreciated.

Andreas Athanasiou picks up a -2

that puts him at -35 with the Red Wings having played 35 games.

WE'RE BACK ON THE RECORD-SETTING TRACK BABY!

(Fun stat: worst plus/minus at this point last year was Gostisbehere with -18... and he only finished the season with a -20 so it can always get better, but let's hope it doesn't!)

Kuemper has been absolutely lights out all year and the only reason the Coyotes aren't leading the west is because he's never given enough offensive support. Many a 2-1 loss, I've seen.

This feels pretty big, especially if their goaltending keeps holding up, and maybe one more piece before the trade deadline...

On the one hand, I've never heard of any of those guys.

On the other hand, given that Hall wasn't going to re-sign with the Devils anyway, that seems like a reasonably impressive haul.

Also the Farabee suspension is a freaking joke. The hit was a little late (but I've seen many later), and a little high (but wasn't to the head), and honestly, I'm not even sure it deserves to be a major. If Perreault gets right back up and skates it definitely wouldn't have been.

I'm a little leery about Dubnyk returning fir the Wild soon. I imagine the entire team flatlined in October, and he wasn't injured (family absence), but the Wild started succeeding when Stalock started. That sort of "We play better when x is in net" situation.

Dubnyk doesn't have a bad contract (years moreso than caphit), but does he gave any trade value midseason?

I mean, Stalock is "next guy up", so save money I guess.

My wonderful Kuemper... he had built up enough goodwill this season but yeah, that was brutal. Does appear like he was injured too.

The 29-year old exited the game with an injury with roughly three minutes remaining in the contest, and required assistance to get to the bench. He sustained the injury after kicking out his right pad on what seemed to be a routine save, but was in noticeable pain after the play. No update was provided by the Coyotes following the game. Kuemper is considered day-to-day for now.

PK Subban literally has 6 points in 34 games. And before you even give me "Well yeah the Devils are bad, what do you expect?" note that this places him 15th among Devils skaters, and 4th among Devils defensemen. He literally has fewer points than Damon Severson.

I'm struggling to think of a superstar in recent memory who has fallen offer faster and harder than this, absent some fluke injury or weird personal life circumstance (like Dany Heatley murdering one of his teammates)

WTF happened to PK.

(for all the shit that Montreal got for that trade, Shea Weber currently has 29 points in 35 games, and the Habs are in playoff contention)

I mean it's one of those rare years where the most famous players are also the most deserving. Kinda surprised it wasn't Matthews over Pasta, but I guess the Leafs have been bad enough that their fans are too busy wallowing in self pity to bother voting.

So the Leafs scored 3 quick goals in the first against the Canes, then gave up 5 straight, including 3 in just over a minute. A few goals later, the Leafs score 3 in under a minute and are now leading 7-6.

Cool.

And the Hawks follow up a comeback win against the Avs by getting utterly crushed at home by fellow basement dweller the Devils. Helps the lottery position at least.

Eric Staal is the Wild rep for the Alk-Star team. He's been the best player since signing a few years ago, and his contract continues to be a bargain. Well deserved, even from a frustrating team.

I know everyone's talking about all-star snubs, but I'm still raging at Holtby making it in.

Like I guess the Metropolitan is starved for goalie selections but damn. Just feels like this guy hurts my fantasy team more than everything, especially as of late, his last 3 games.... real painful.

(Edit in hindsight: Jarry and Varlamov would be better picks over Holtby, though in the former's case there probably aren't enough games played as justification... but still)

Nice to see Kuemper get in even if he might be injured by game time.

So when I was in Vegas a week into the season, I was too late to put in bets for regular season point totals, but I made a list of what I would've done if I could have... since we're about the halfway point of the season figured I'd revisit based on how things currently stand (projecting full-season totals based on where they presently are, obviously there are more "accurate" projections out there based on quality of opponents, home/away schedules, etc. but for the sake of simplicity).

Trending good
Avalanche - 97.5 - Over (projected 103)
Flyers - 90 - Over (projected 100)
Coyotes - 89.5 - Over (projected 94)
Flames - 96.5 - Under (projected 88)
Sharks - 94.5 - Under (projected 74)

Trending bad
Maple Leafs - 102.5 - Over (projected 98)
Sabres - 84.5 - Over (projected 82)
Red Wings - 77.5 - Over (projected 46)
Penguins - 96.5 - Under (projected 109)
Senators - 70.5 - Under (projected 76)

So 5-5 is no good, I'd be down $50 if it panned out this way. Though I still believe in a strong Leafs second half and maybe the Sens slowing down a bit...

Not sure what I was thinking with that Wings pick, wow. I guess I was giving too much weight to their decent finish last season, or they just ended up being preternaturally bad. Also didn't think the Sabres would return to their typical form either, so sad.

All in all some good bets to have not made. Still not as bad as anyone who chose the "Over" on the Sharks though, lol.
