Who are you picking?

Right now I'd probably lean toward Skinner, Jarry, and then one of Fleury/Hill/Binnington.

Certainly not great options but worth pointing out all those guys other than Fleury currently have better save percentages this season than: Saros, Oettinger, Vasilevskiy, and Shesterkin. It's a weird time for elite goalies.
 
Never like seeing anyone get hurt like this....

Heard Cooper interviewed.

He wasn't definitive but it is not good.

Both benches were concerned for him.

Mikhail Sergachev has surgery on leg, out indefinitely
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev underwent surgery to stabilize the tibia and fibula in his left leg Thursday and will return home in the coming days to immediately begin rehabilitation, the team has announced.

Both were fractured.

Loose prognosis from google is 3-6 months

Gotta be like 3-5 of these from Hughes by now
 
So Timo Meier, he of the 8 year $8.8m AAV deal signed this past summer, is sitting at 10g - 21 pts in 39 games this season...but also a team worst minus 23.

So, not a great start.

But also, given the Kek news in CLB, both Fantilli and Gaudreau are minus 21 in 49 and 52 games respectively...now I know that CLB is 4th worst in the league in a minus 41 goal differential, but still...

Here's your worst 5 NHL teams in goal differential:

SJS - minus 93 (!!!!)
CHI - minus 76
ANA - minus 48
CLB - minus 41
WSH & MTL - minus 37

Leafs are 13th goodest at +17

Vasilevskiy gave up 9 to the panthers.

Seems odd that they would keep him in for all 9.

He gave up 6 of them, he was pulled after 2 periods.

Oh they must have updated the boxscore. When I saw it last night it had all 9 goals on Vasilevskiy.
 
Remember when we were kinda making fun of the leafs and their regulation wins - well the bruins are atop the division on the strength of 14 OT losses.
 
No, no, no. Don't you guys do that. If anyone remembers the NHL with the old 5-on-5 overtime/no loser point, you'll recall the with about 5 minutes left in a tie game both teams would essentially stop playing trying to secure the single point. Too often the overtime would be both teams trying not to get scored on. It was a problem and the NHL was right to make a change to try to correct it.

Now, the changes they made do I agree with? Not exactly, but the game had a problem.
 
The NHL PR spin of "people don't like ties" was just cuz they didn't want to say, "cuz teams stop playing".

You mean when there were ties and the loser point I think right? With no loser point, losing with 1 min left in the third and losing with 1 min left in OT are the same. Maybe they stop playing late in OT though.

I like ties, I don't like loser points.

No, when games ended in ties and teams divided the two points, one each.

Teams wanted to secure a point rather than risking no points at all. You'd see it often between out of conference opponents where they were happy to secure the point and move on. They added the loser point to encourage more play and went even further with the shootout/3-on-3.

Loser point should have been dropped with the introduction of the shootout but, alas, here we are.
 
I don?t mind OT. So I guess I?d prefer a result. I?d even accept a 10 minute OT or something. But I prefer a tie after OT to a shootout.
