  1. @jimlil @olliethewobbly @hnom That’s one of the arguments for goalies 6.5+ height. One, they may be able to see over the players in front of them. Two, with their height and width they fill up most of the net.
    I started watching hockey when only a handful wore masks, and padding was (relative to today’s gear) inconsequential.

  2. 🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 “I want this kid to f—ing try harder defensively, but he saves himself for offense,” the executive said

    In hockey, as in life, people do not like it when others make effort look effortless.

    Evan Bouchard is so smart he doesn’t waste effort. Occasional viewers are convinced he’s lazy or dumb, or both. The results don’t matter to them. A couple of awkward giveaways circulating on the internets confirms their opinion (it’s a cottage industry, clipping and sharing Bouchard’s gaffes; there’s no market for the Makar, Hughes, Werenski, Hutson gaffes, so we don’t see that all high-level puck-possession D are taking and losing risks, regularly.)

    It’s in the job description of elite offensive D: take risks, be willing to fail to be excellent. They all do. The difference is that some are doing so without seeming effort. They are reviled as lazy. Go Bouch!

  7. It's been about two months since Steve Yzerman was removed as GM of the Red Wings. Since then all we've heard was from two reliable insiders is that neither Draper or Greenberg will be the next GM. I'm not panicking about lack of GM news, it's too early for that, but this isn't reassuring.

  12. Many goalies wonder the same thing about their thick-bodied defenders. A body is, they would say, a better screen than a window on WTF is going on in front of them. But thick-bodied defenders are too often thick-skulled defenders. And, goalies’ views on the matter are seldom welcome.

  35. 🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 I believe that one decision by McDavid, to eschew the 1-vs-3 habit in favour of the 200-ft game, will not only lead to a powerful season by the man, it will signal to the team that responsible play is expected, from top to bottom. He knows this. That’s how they got to back to back SCFs. That’s how they put together the only consistent month of play last season, from Nov 26-Dec 25. He’s stubborn (believes he can do it all, himself); he’s also smart, and driven. And, I would imagine, embarrassed for winning yet another Art Ross while his team floundered. I expect a very different season of play this year.

    As for his wingers, I like the Podz plus Savoie/Kap suggestion. For Draisaitl, I want Howard for a long stretch. He will learn, and become the winger this team needs. On the other side, Dach? I have great faith in Drai’s talent as a mentor.

  40. His legs may be gone, and he doesn't check as hard as he used to but Ovi is back for one final ride. I am hyped. My captain my captain!

    #Hockey #HNOM #ALLCAPS @hockey

  41. John Carlson signing for the #Hurricanes would be almost as painful to me as that time Lars Eller signed with the Penguins. I've never been a Carlson Stan or anything, but he's been in DC for such a long time I'd hate to see him on any of Pitt, Philly, NYR or Carolina. 

    Please John. Sign in Tampa. We know you want to. 

    #HNOM #Hockey #ALLCAPS

  42. Waking up to the news that the #ALLCAPS have traded Connor McMichael away for Jordan Kyrou. 

    Firstly, I don't mind the trade at all. Kyrou seems like an upgrade, and the first round pick was essentially a steal that we got for moving on from Carlson right; unlikely you get a player of Kyrous ability at that position in the draft also.

    McMichael, man. What could have been. He had that one season but fell back pretty hard last year. I wish him nothing but the best, but damn he never quiet hit the highs we thought he could coming out of junior.

  43. Eight years ago. What a night. 

    I went to bed early (I'm in the UK). I got up twenty or so minutes before puck drop and slowly worked my way downstairs. Trying desperately not to wake the sleeping 3 month old who was asleep next to our bed. If I woke her up, the night was going to be a write off.

    Then I sat in my living room in near total silence for nearly four hours as I watched my team do the thing many had said they would never do.

    It was incredible. Jake The Snake potting on in off the post. The pass from Nicky to Ovi. The ill-advised Djoos tussle in front of Holtby. Orpik keeping the play alive at the blue line. DSP somehow defying gravity and putting the puck behind Flower. Lars collecting the loose biscuit with 7 minutes to go. The clock stuttering with a few seconds left. The moment. 

    I'll remember that one night for the rest of my life. Bouncing on my knees and jumping around and crying in my living room at 3:30am. All in total silence. I'll never forget that night. 

    This, boys and girls is why sports matters to so many. 

    #HNOM #Hockey @hockey #AllCaps

  44. Can't decide who I'd prefer to see lift Lord Stanley's cup.

    On on hand, I don't like the Hurricanes. They're a division rival and Washington/Carolina goes back. They do have Old Guy Without Cup in Taylor Hall working in their favour though.

    Vegas? They've got long-time #ALLCAPS Nic Dowd. I'd really like to see him get a chance to lift the cup. Oh and watching Toronto implode when Marner gets his hand on the Conn Smyth would be something else.

    Whatever happens, I hope it goes all the way to OT Game 7.
