Someone’s getting in trouble! Neither Mavi nor pissy got a Molson three stars.

It’s just not possible.

It is also embarrassing to the fans of those teams to showcase them when they clearly suck.

Totally agree with you. It was all for the Connor Bedard hype, plain and simple.

Oh look, now the Oilers get a nice little rest as they don't play until Wednesday when they get Anaheim on the second half of a back to back. The Ducks have to play Tuesday night in Winnipeg.

Lol, it’s amazing how often this happens for the Oilers. Ridiculous.

And league mandated back-up goalie starting

I'll bet that individual Oilers players exchange Christmas cards with members of the Referees Association.

900K viewers for the Winter Festival game, first time under 1M.

The outdoor games are redundant now and lost that novelty feeling, but to stick it in the middle of the day on a jam-packed night was weird.

NHL needs to revisit the holidays and all these mandated off days in the next CBA.
