It was tough to watch Matthew's miss his assignment covering McDavid lead to the OT goal. He had so many fantastic defensive plays over the previous four games. I would have liked to see the US win, but more than anything else I just missed watching best on best competition. I am looking forward to the Olympics and World Cup. The game needs these moments to grow.
Jaccob Slavin is my new favorite player in the league. My god is he good. The angles and stickwork he uses to play defense is a marvel. How it escaped my attention that he has won two Lady Byng trophies is beyond me.
think carolina will trade him to us? watching him and faber together was like art. and yes his current contract is less than both brodin and spurgeon and his extension starting next year is 1mil less than spurgeon
Yeah he's been a player who flies under the radar for a long time.Jaccob Slavin is my new favorite player in the league. My god is he good. The angles and stickwork he uses to play defense is a marvel. How it escaped my attention that he has won two Lady Byng trophies is beyond me.

Penguins currently getting goalied by Shesterkin.
Aaaaand then they score on their next two shots.
So with the Penguins in last place in their division this season what will happen to this team, Fire their head coach? cut Sid from the team?
Aloha!
Now this is what the outdoor games should be…100K people and 21 Pilots tearing it up!
Nah they're clearly tanking, if they moved on from Sullivan it wouldn't be the end of the world but I don't think they're trying all that hard to win games right now. Sid isn't going anywhere lol, he's not only earned his right to retire there he's still playing at a high level.So with the Penguins in last place in their division this season what will happen to this team, Fire their head coach? cut Sid from the team?

Wow!
If you ask Knies what time it is and he responds "I think it's {insert time here}" you can bank on him being 100% accurate.

Sidney passed Gordie Howe on assists and Bobby Hull on goals in that game, I believe. Love him or hate him, the guy can play.
That goal by Knies is one of the best shots I've seen for a very long time.
Aloha!
tough break for a team that’s sold out to try contend. Big big loss for them
Knies had a good fight last night vs Vegas
Aloha!
fwiw:
Rantanen to the Wild would be, well, Wild!! Can't see how it could happen though.
Him and Middleton have really had beef lately, would be fun to be I the locker room of it happened.
Brock Nelson traded to Colorado. Rantanen may be headed to Dallas.

Regarding Stars signing Ratanen long term:
That no state income tax factor is a huge trade & free agent acquisition advantage for Fla & TPA, Dallas, Vegas & (some day) the Kraken.

Ovi only needs 4 more goals to break Gretzky's 894.
Gretzky - G: 894 / A: 1,963 / P: 2,857 / Cups: 4 / Seasons: 20
Ovi - G: 891 / A: 721 / P: 1,612 / Cups: 1 / Seasons: 20th
1) Gretzky played majority of his seasons with the 2 line pass rule, Ovi never did.
2) Gretzky has the all time NHL points record at 2,857... next Jagr @ 1921
3) Gretzky has the all time NHL assists record at 1,963
4) Gretzky has more assists then any player in points
5) Yes, Ovi played in a shorten season and a lockout season. Though Gretzky played in a shorten season all well.
6) Ovi loves the slot. He made a living there.
Ovi will be the all time goal leader shortly. Though Gretzky is and always will be the 'Great One'.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Ovi with a pp goal… 3 goals to break Gretzky's 894.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Cool to see #11 Moore & #6 Rinzel playing against Avs tonight on TNT 😎
I like what the announcer said in OT when Moore, Bedard, and Levshunov were out there.
“The 20 year old Moore is the oldest Blackhawk on the ice!”
Clearly he was ignoring Spencer Knight, who is 23.
Pretty crazy stat, that Ovi could possibly tie Gretzky @ 894 in 1,487 games.
Keep your stick on the ice...
One more to tie. Game is on NHL network.
Tied the record in one less game.
If he has 1,266 assists next game he will tie the assist record too.
Ovi just scored on the PP. #895
If only Lucia would have recruited him...

So does Ovi live in the United States in the off season or does he go back to Russia?
Aloha!
Thanks to ovi for ending the chase quickly so we can actually watch games instead of his tracker. Absolute missile of a shot and a belly flop to celebrate. Love it.
Ovi has been a great ambassador of the game. Happy for him to get this one and break a record many thought never would be touched, especially given he played partly in an era where goal scoring was way down. his longevity and health have been pretty crazy to be able to do this. Don’t know if we’ll see anyone get close again. Have to average 45 goals a year for 20 years to get there which is just nutty if you put it in that context
To set the record in the exact same number of games, and against the same team is insane.
Also, he’s scored on (182?) different goalies before today, this was the first goal Sorokin has given up against Ovi.
Crazy stuff and so cool to witness history!

The ‘dog and pony’ show for the last week has been overkill. Ovi has the record… let’s move on.

It’s interesting how simple minded and triggered some people are over a reply.

Look at PPG over a career... Ovi is the greatest at scoring goals, but... 😉
It's almost embarrassing the PPG differential.....
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Looking at career leaders, imagine what Mario could have done if he didn't get cancer, or had back spasms bad enough he couldn't tie his own skates.....

How many goals would’ve Gretzky had, if he didn’t have to play with the 2 line pass. Ovi has the record, and deserves it. Just it’s 2 different eras with and w/o the 2 line pass rule.
