That President's Trophy banner is going to look real nice beside the other 2 President's Trophy banners you guys have.

Yeah, thats what it looks like when Met teams storm out of the gate like it a sprint, but the NHL season is a marathon, not a sprint. How are these Met teams doing in their last 10?
Lumbus 6-4-0 (2-4-0 in last 6)
Pittsburgh 6-4-0 (0-3-0 in their last 3 with a GD of -9)
Rangers 5-5-0
Philly 2-6-2 (1 reg win in their last 13 after a 10 game win streak)


Not to mention, the Met teams are ridiculously lucky on a man games lost front, especially the Caps. Of the 10 teams with less than 100 MGL on the season, 4 are in the Met. The Caps have suffered 11 MGL so far. Fucking eleven.

fucking lol at this shit. 4 of the top 7 and 6 of the top 13 point totals are MET, 2 MET teams had 10 game win streaks in the last month, but yea, they having done shit recently I guess. If the Caps make it to 10, (now I jinxed it), it would be the first time 3 teams in one division have had 10+ game win streaks in the same year.

Hawks on a losing streak and cant figure out the Wild in the reg. season

Hawks on a losing streak and cant figure out the Wild in the reg. season

Their top 3 F, top 2 D and G account for 68.23% of their cap space. That means there are another 9 F, 4 D and 1 G, as well as the 3 healthy scratches to account for the remaining 31.77% of the cap space.

To compare with other top teams
Lumbus's starting lineup account for 49.91%. Of course, it helps that Sam Gagner is vastly overachieving at league minimum.
Caps starting lineup account for 59.04%.
Wild starting lineup account for 58.24%
Habs starting lineup account for 56.04%
Pens starting lineup account for 66.91%
Rangers starting lineup account for 57.97%

My point is, you can only lean so much on your top players if you have no supporting cast.

And the ducks lose again in ot. Damn broken record. Was a decent game for two teams on back to backs.

[NynJa]

Whats with all the afternoon games today? Is there some holiday or event the league doesnt want to compete with?

Oilers and Coyotes tonight - for the love of fuck's sake take the 2 easy points Edmonton.
Oh wait, Mike Smith is their kryptonite, enjoy the shutout.

[bluefan]

Jets continue to be laughable.

And of course our GM will be MIA like he usually is.

NBC crew so bad.

Pierre> until last week the Pens had never lost b2b games under Sullivan.
5s later
another NBC guy> Pens lost the first four games under Sullivan but since then....

Which is it guys?
