In fact, 13 teams have won as many or more games in 2022 than Montreal has all season.

I respect the hell out of busta, but this stat was still so unbelieveable I had to double check it for myself.

My jaw dropped when I saw it. I figured it was only going to be like 4 or 5 teams.

Yeah but you just know this going to lead to a whole bunch of articles on why Shane Wright is better than Matthews and McDavid combined.

Montreal will be the only team in the league to head into the ASG with a single digit win total. In fact, 13 teams have won as many or more games in 2022 than Montreal has all season.

What a bizarre Cinderella run that was.

That's coin flip rules for you.

Russian machine never breaks, except for all star weekend.

Russian Machine Never Breaks but does require yearly February maintenance.

For the sake of comparison, the Islanders have 88 goals all season.

Colorado is also very high.  I'm wondering if coaches have unlocked a little something to increase offense a little.

Tom Wilson is going to replace Ovechkin in the all-star game. 

I don't think the NHL understands marketing....at all.

Uh, I just discovered that you're not making a joke.

It's not even a particularly tough question. You can see that the other executive on stage had an answer of what they were doing going forward.

I'm not sure it's the NHL's call or that they can now force someone to go because they weren't voted in. Add in Kuznetsov probably didn't want to go.

Quick recap of Bettman's all star game address:

1) Rocky Wirtz was the true victim of the Kyle Beach situation

2) Arizona is such a garbage organization that they may actually make more money with a 5,000 arena

3) Canada trying to curb COVID-19 transmission rates is destroying the league

Don?t forget that it?s a problem that Calgary isn?t paying for a new arena but Arizona is a good market.  I know that Bettman can only get away with the messaging that the owners as a collective want but I am so done with his garbage

I think by now we know that this is sort of the deal with the NHL under Bettman. Bettman will say and do anything he can to try and take PR heat off owners(#1) who in turn let him have his way on his own particular side projects(#2) all the while being kept afloat by the revenues Toronto/Montreal are bringing into the league(#3)
