The Oilers? No they aren't a better team than last year. They'll go as far as Mcdavid and Leon can carry them. Hard to improve when you have Skinner, Nurse and Bouchard anchoring your back end.

Leafs are neutral, all depends on how big of a step Knies and the young players take.

I don't know what Malkin did in the offseason, blood transfusions, adrenachrome drip in the locker room, etc....but whatever it is it's working. He hasn't skated like this since the back to back cups.

bouchard was like 4th in the league among dmen last season with 57.91% 5v5 xg. this season his xg is 57.24%

he is firmly in "the pettersson zone" with these narratives about him lately. is he perfect? obviously not. but he's a really good puck-mover, who yes benefits from playing a significant amount of time with mcdrai, though they also benefit from playing with him and ekholm.

anyway, i can't wait until he's left off the olympic team for no reason in favour of some good rep bum who hasn't been any good in 5+ years

Good thing the Stars got rid of their coach that took them to the western conference finals the last 3 years

Should we check on 72off since Vancouver had rough night too?

You can see it on Stolarz and McDavid's faces that they are regretting their decisions.

The Stars only lost 3 regular season games in a row ONCE in 3 years when Pete DeBoer was coaching them.

Glen Gulutzan has managed that feat in his first 6 games.
