2017-2018 NHL Thread

Re: the Hart Trophy discussion it's now distinctly possible that both Mackinnon and McDavid miss the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see if voters think there's "value" in just missing the playoffs vs. not coming close.

That was the entire debate the last 10 days.  People felt Mackinnon deserved it more because he was leading Colorado to the playoffs.  Now if they miss, that argument is out the window.  Sure Colorado wouldn't even be close to a playoff spot without Mackinnon, but where would the Oilers be without McDavid -- 31st most likely.
 
Chicago had to use their emergency backup goaltender last night.  He made 7 saves to help keep the Blackhawks hold their win against the Jets.  Gave a nice little post-game interview too.

What a bloody joke the DoPS is.  The severity of the action isn't all that big, but the needlessness of it is what bothers me.

The man he burned to get the breakaway? Norris Trophy winner, Brent Burns.

Man oh man, it's going to be so difficult to remain composed if we end up playing against this guy in the playoffs. It will be a real test of patience and a important factor in any series versus Boston.

I have chosen to stand up to the rising tide of pile-on negativity that social media encourages.

Enjoy this remarkably suggestive gif!

Gonna be a shame when he signs a huge contract and his shooting percentage drops to a much more maintainable level than his current 23.3%. Coming into the season, his career Sh% was 7.7%.

Vegas' fan base thinks that shooting percentage is legit. Ah, so young, so naive.
