LOS ANGELES – Tristen Jarry’s very good play in net covered up the Penguins being a 2- line team with an average defense. Casey DeSmith is incapable of carrying the Penguins. Jake DeBrusk beat him twice on one leg. If Jarry is out for more than 2 weeks the Penguins playoff streak ends.
Ilya Sorokin is the best goaltender in the New York Tri- State Area.
GM Ken Holland and Jim Rutherford are Hall of Fame GMs but the jobs they have done for Edmonton and Vancouver are borderline incompetent.
The Columbus Blue Jackets should be relegated to the ECHL. I don’t think they beat the Cleveland Monsters of the AHL. They should be able to skate with the Wheeling Nailers.
Tampa Bay’s franchise is right there with Edmonton and Pittsburgh for the most talent to come thru a city not in the Original 6. When Hall of Fame coach Jon Cooper throws a line of Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point over the boards its awe inspiring.
The Ducks need to trade John Gibson this year. If he’s in Anaheim any longer he will have PTSD
Pheonix Copley has given the Kings what they needed, a timely save.
When the St. Louis Blues have their fire sale GM Doug Armstrong will put his fingerprint on this year’s playoffs. Ryan O’Reilly or Vlad Tarasenko will put a contender over the top.
Detroit’s team has upgraded its talent to the point Jakub Vrana was put on waivers.
Connor Hellebuyck is the NHL’s best goaltender right now.
I still miss Big Buff.
Bo Horvat will be Joe Pavelski Part 2, and younger.
Tage Thompson is already better than Jack Eichel but Rasmus Dahlin is the best Buffalo Sabres player.
The Devils patience with Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier has paid off but was expected. Their patience with Lindy Ruff has also paid off but wasn’t as expected.
The Canadian Media (Toronto fans ) NEVER miss a chance to crap on the Arizona franchise but the Leafs went 0-4 vs the Coyotes in 2022.
Boston’s 22 game home point streak is absurd. It’s almost MLK Day. Everyone expected greatness from Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. No one thought Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy would both be back by Thanksgiving. DeBrusk not to be traded. Taylor Hall accepting a 3rd line role. Hampus Lindholm a possible Norris finalist and Linus Ullmark a front runner for the Vezina.

Why Is Claude Giroux considered a great leader? He left the Flyers in shambles after never winning and tying their hands in possible trade partners. He ruined the Florida Panthers chemistry and power play. Ottawa is still nowhere near a playoff team. Giroux is a point getter not a leader.
Relax !!! The Avalanche will make the playoffs.
Keep winning Torts, Connor Bedard doesn’t want to play for you in Philly anyway.
