how can McDavid be a -2 last week when the score was 1-1?

If Johnny Gaudreau didn't have his all-star pedigree and made his NHL debut six games ago, he'd have been reassigned to Stockton yesterday.

Don't forget the Brodie's and Jokipakka's patented shot 5 feet wide hoping for a lucky bounce off the boards. One day it'll work.

Give Elliott a string of games from here on out. Should have started tonight too.

The passing is real bad tonight....Brouwer can't complete a simple one to enter the zone cleanly

This is a less entertaining version of amateur hour at any local dive strip club. Just bad

Yep, done wasting my time watching these guys this season. Have to wonder if they are trying to get the coach canned. Very bad atm.

It would almost be better to overload a line by moving Bennett or Gaudreau over to RW and have those two + Monahan on the same line instead of spreading the players out.

The Flames desperately need two top 9 forwards.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get them during the season because the cost is too high.
I've mentioned this before i think this is a myth.

Let's look at the top 5 teams in GF in the league - Pittsburgh, Rangers, Columbus, Washington and Minnesota.

Rust, Sheary, Guentzel in top 6 for Pittsburgh.

Buchnevich, Krieder and Zuccarello for Rangers.

Foligno, Dubinsky and Jenner for the Jackets.

Johansen and Williams for the Caps.

Coyle, Zucker2and Niedereiter for the Wild.

The cap doesn't allow teams to stack lines anymore. You just have to find a mix that works.
