I kinda wanted the Wild to lose to Detroit. But it made the shift go by better that they didn't.

Though it would have been fitting, since the arena escalator broke

I noticed Darnell Nurse got 12 hits in that game... can't remember if I've ever seen somebody hit that much in one game, certainly not somebody on my fantasy team.

And they're playing again on Saturday night, in Calgary this time... if the hate is indeed real we'll see a nice continuation there!

All is right in the world again, I knew if I started Holtby on my team he'd fuck it up. Time for Samsonov ascendance, for real this time...

More fun Red Wings stats after tonight's 3-0 loss to the Flyers! Athanasiou returned from an injury and was on the ice for all three goals.

They let in 2 shorthanded goals tonight, which puts them at 11 for the season, the most in the league. Red Wings have scored 24 power play goals and 3 shorthanded, while allowing 44 power play goals and 11 shorthanded. That means they've been more than doubled up on special teams scoring this year.

A loss in their next game will give Detroit two separate ten-game losing streaks this season.

He's going to come back in prime form and get a Vezina nom, maybe even the win

....my fantasy team is hinging on that. The yo-yo-ing of his status on Yahoo has been really annoying though, I'm with you there. Any day now though!!

Uh... is there a Binnington somewhere in the Leafs farm system? Now's the time to strike.

Or get Holtby from the Caps for a bag of pucks.

(the Caps also need to kick in 2 bags of pucks as part of the trade)

i went to the devils game on Saturday, it was 2000 Cup night (vs the Stars naturally). much of the championship team was there. They even had Petr Sykora who wasn't able to be on the ice wit the cup in game 7 because he left game 6 to injury and didn't return the next game, so he never got a chance to do a lap with the cup on the ice. so they had him do it that night, nice touch.

also got a replica ring. good night. except they lost in OT.

Look, I believed Hutchinson wasnt that bad... only allowed 1 goal in his last start, all the other games as of late that were bad were when Andersen was pulled, and those games are usually just as bad for the substitute goalie too.

... tonight's game not helping my theory. Maybe the Ducks will produce better results!

Oh I'm glad I popped back into this topic at the perfect moment... I need any goaltending help I can get.

Poor Hutchinson...

Edit: Toronto still has a back to back coming up so he'll probably get one more start at least, unless Andersen is back for Feb 8.

On the one hand, I'm not sure Campbell is much of an upgrade over Hutchinson at all... he's been <i>really</i> inconsistent the last couple years.

On the other hand, "Moore and two thirds" is basically "free" so what the hell?

I got excited when I saw a 2.30 GAA, .928 SV% last year on a Kings team that was bad, but maybe not as bad as this year... and I am still hopeful!

(also better stats this year than Holtby)

The Kings are bad because they can't score, not because of their defense really. And Campbell's numbers, on average, are decent, but my perception from the Kings recently is that he's one of those "allows 0-1 or 5-6" type of guys. He has really good games, or really bad ones. Not a lot of 2-3 goal outings when he's in net.

The Hawks are in much better shape than the Wild overall though. Their aging superstars are better, and their young prospect pool is better, too.

Who do the Wild have that's an equivalent of like Debrincat? Where is their next generation? It was supposed to be Granlund and Coyle but they sucked and were traded away for scraps.

For the first time since like November, the Caps are knocked off the Presidents Trophy perch. Boston now top in the league. Caps close behind with Tampa and Pittsburgh close behind them.

Overall, the East is SO much better than the West. Check out the standings +/- here:

Bruins +24
Caps +22
Lightning +20
Penguins +19
Islanders +15
Bluejackets +13
Hurricanes +12
Flyers +12
Panthers +10
Leafs +10
Habs +4
Rangers +3
Sabres +1
Devils -4
Sens -8
Red Wings -26

Blues +17
Avs +15
Stars +12
Canucks +11
Oilers +9
Knights +7
Flames +6
Preds +5
Jets +5
Wild +4
Hawks +4
Coyotes +4
Sharks -3
Ducks -4
Kings -13

The East has four teams better than the best team in the West. The Leafs (currently the last team out of the playoffs in the East) would be second place in the Pacific division (trailing the Canucks by one game), or 5th overall in the West. The two wild card teams in the East currently are better than the Pacific division leader.
