Starting to get more convinced - going in and winning b2b on the road in NYI-Det was a big change from the past.

If Talbot ever gets hurt or slumps, look out.

I also did a quick tally up - the combined record of the Oilers opponents this year is 88-76-23 (essentially imagine they'd been playing a team that is currently 6-5-2 every game). It hasn't been the world's toughest schedule, but it hasn't been all cream puffs either.

another hilarious sidebar to this season's LolCanucks storyline is that they've been almost 100% healthy so far, and still historically bad. well they've been without their best dman Chris Tanev for a few games now, he's apparently out for weeks, and now their most underrated forward Jannik Hansen is out 4-6 weeks. this is gonna get real good if the injuries start piling up, considering that they have literally zero depth at forward.

anyway, they play the WANGZ tonight, who are also pretty bad, and dealing with the realization that Kronwall is probably finished as a good hockey player. should be interesting.

in other news, Patrik Laine is on pace for 64g/88pts ... is that good?

Good for Rogie. Still looks good. Too bad for Dezi Arnaz tonight.

You could play the game on ****ing Pluto but with the Chief in net it's likely gg for you. You should get some of those big lugs of yours to run him over. Probably only chance you have.

How long has Thorne been pbp for the KANGZ? Might need to order NHL TV just to listen to him call a game.

He should've gotten a penalty for playing the puck outside the trapezoid.

Bob isn't going on the big road trips, so the Kings have a few different pbp guys lined up.

looks like the Jets were correct is drafting Scheifele over Courtier. He is clearly a better player

even as dumb as i think Benning is, i feel like even he won't trade Boeser, Juolevi, Demko, or the 2017 1st. but it is pretty funny that the team struggles out of the gate and all of a sudden he's fielding calls from around the league like a 911 operator. he'll likely do something dumb, it just won't be for one of their top-4 assets mentioned above. if he does, it's like officially game over seinfeldleavingjiff.

Spoiler:
@HockeyDip**** 21h21 hours ago
Ken Daniels on the Detroit feed just described Gudbranson as "a 6'5" former 3rd overall pick" which is the only reason Benning acquired him.

@HockeyDip**** 21h21 hours ago
Brandon Sutter is atrocious. Benning honestly doesn't get enough **** for that trade/re-signing.

@HockeyDip**** 21h21 hours ago
What does he bring to the table besides his last name? Oh, right, his terrible contract.

@HockeyDip**** 20h20 hours ago
Honestly think there's a chance the Canucks will be so bad for the next 5 years that the NHL has to go back to the pre-Oilers lottery rules.

@HockeyDip**** 20h20 hours ago
Because let's be honest - they aren't getting the first overall pick, ever.

also one about how the Canucks are off to their worst start since the Messier/Keenan era

This game vs the Senators is the first one of Gary's I've been able to catch, and I totally agree, bringing back a lot of memories. I love Bob, of course, but getting Gary to cover these is awesome.

That Scheifele goal is the second NHL 97 goal I've seen them score in two or three games.
