Good observation. How many teams do that? None?

Nugent Hopkins is their best defenseman

Sometimes in life when I think things are bad and the couldn't possibly get any worse, I just think "Hey, you could be an Oilers fan" and then I feel a whole lot better.

Few off shifts but he's looked good overall. Especially in the 1st

Potential Norris nominee in a few seasons if this trajectory continues.

Watching that 5-on-3 makes it very clear what's missing from the Flames' lineup: Skill.

When Hudler and Cammalleri are your two most-skilled forwards, you're not going to be a very potent offensive team. I like the way we work, but we've got a long way to go in terms of adding players before we're competitive with the top of the West again.

Yup. A freakin' trainwreck. Kind of hoping he is traded by the deadline. Doubt anyone would take him though.

It's unbelievable isn't it? I mean, the simplest play has become an adventure. The puck is like a live grenade. I can't remember seeing anything like it.

As much as I like his game, he doesn't have the offensive game to be a Norris candidate, IMO.
