The Canucks will be wearing these Pride themed warmed up jerseys but, honestly, I like this logo more than any the Canucks have used in the past.

These are fantastic.

I'm watching the Blues - Preds game right now and I find the jersey/helmet combination a little off putting.

For my own amusement I was looking up how other teams with goaltending stats that can only be described as "hot garbage" have performed over the last couple months or so and the LA Kings are absolutely bewildering me. Here are some of their stats since February 1st (5-on-5 other than PP/PK% of course):

Sv%: 89.82 (28th)
Sh%: 7.02 (29th)
GF/60: 2.36 (23rd)
GA/60: 2.77 (21st)
GF%: 46.03 (24th)
PP%: 14.6 (24th)
PK%: 80.5 (12th)

Despite all of that they are 10-4-1, which is the 3rd best points percentage in the league in that span.

So Huberdeau can throw a retaliatory elbow to a head and that requires no supplemental discipline.  Ok.

Giordano played his 1,000th game a week and a half ago. I'm as "teams need to respect their players" as anybody but there's like 0% chance Giordano cares about accepting his silver stick in a suit vs. in equipment. Especially on a team he hasn't even been a part of for a calendar year.

On the one hand, this is a very nice deal for a player of Hertl's caliber. On the other, is San Jose really in position to actually make good use of this to the fullest?

1. Something I did not realize about Montreal?s wretched season: in 511 minutes, Brendan Gallagher has zero goals at five-on-five. Zero! Over the prior three seasons he was third in the league in five-on-five goals-per-60 at 1.46. At that rate, he should be closer to 12 goals. I get he lost Danault and has been injured, but zero goals in 511 minutes for someone who was previously a top-five scorer is absolutely ludicrous. It speaks to just how unlucky the Canadiens have been all season. It wasn?t all poor play sinking the team.

This is actually insane. At 5-on-5 0 goals and just 7 assists in 42 games for Gallagher this season. I had no idea his season was going THAT badly.

I really Danault what could have caused this spate of poor performance.

He's -9 in expected goals above expected.  That's worst in the NHL.

The Panthers last night lost to a non-playoff team that was on a 5 game losing streak and missing their 1G, 1LW, 1RW, 3RW, 3D, 4D, and who lost their 1C in the middle of the game.

Chiarot already paying dividends and he didn't even play.

Button says if Florida gets Giroux it's over...Leafs don't stand a chance. We should stop playing the games now.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I mean Giroux on the Panthers should legitimately scare every team in the league.

I mean Giroux on the Panthers should legitimately scare every team in the league.

Should it, though? Florida is already the best offensive team in the league by a reasonable margin. At what point does adding more put them beyond the point of diminishing returns? I'm actually not sure adding Giroux makes them much scarier than they already are.
