home teams really struggled last night and that hurt me as I typically roll with home teams in DFS.

I used Stalock and Bishop in net. Did not work out.

We get to see Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko between the pipes tonight

Ottawa playing pretty good lately . They are worth a shot at +190 against the BLUES .

Jarome Iginla's No. 12 to be retired by Calgary Flames later this season

Iginla is the franchise's all-time leader in goals (525) and points (1,095)

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin will skip the 2019 All-Star Game to rest for the second half

The 33-year-old will be suspended for one game as a result of his withdrawa

Originally posted by hotcross

^^^ yep that was announced on Wednesday.

I believe he can actually choose which game to sit out, either the Capitals game right before the break (Jan.23 at Toronto), or the game right after the break (Feb.1 home game vs. Calgary)

Ovechkin apparently will play against Toronto on Wednesday's last game before the break. Meaning he will serve the 1-game suspension for the Feb.1 game vs Calgary.

Nashville / Vegas should be an entertaining game .

Vegas -140 looks good .

mr. leisure · 01-25-19, 11:39 AM

Hate having no hockey , AS break sucks

yisman · 01-26-19, 06:39 PM

4 day break, hockey returns on Monday.

mr. leisure · 01-30-19, 02:14 PM

Short schedule sucks too

hotcross · 01-30-19, 10:24 PM

Friday will start getting back to normal with 8 games

Saturday 13 games, including one 1pm and one 2pm Eastern starts.

Next week's schedule is choppy, but Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are the full cards.

yisman · 01-31-19, 10:36 AM

teams had long breaks

weird schedule with some teams playing back to backs while others getting 10+ days off

mr. leisure · 01-31-19, 01:30 PM

Going to be hard to cap some teams after such a long break .

hotcross · 01-31-19, 05:08 PM

the Canucks sit at 4th place in the Pacific division, and tied with Colorado at 52 points in the Western Conference. Will be interesting to see if Vancouver can make the playoffs in what was expected to be a rebuilding year. Of course, Elias Pettersson the 20-year-old is front-running for the Calder Trophy rookie of the year award.

Canucks have a 4-game road trip after the All-Star break beginning on Saturday.... in Colorado.

Chi_archie · 01-31-19, 09:38 PM

get those pucks in the goals!!!!

hotcross · 02-01-19, 10:19 PM

Penguins acquire Nick Bjugstad, Jared McCann from Panthers for forward Derick Brassard, Riley Sheahan and three 2019 draft picks.

Analysts are expecting Florida to trade away Brassard, thus freeing cap-space for a bigger name to play for them after this season.

yeah no rhyme or to the schedule........

mr. leisure · 02-02-19, 11:20 AM

Finally a full slate today

mr. leisure · 02-05-19, 12:20 PM

The Ducks are an auto-fade right now . They can`t score and they are giving up 5-6 goals a game .

Another loss, 4-0 to the Senators .

hotcross · 02-08-19, 06:35 PM

why is it his fault they have old, slow players?

yisman · 02-08-19, 08:41 PM

he quit on the team and the team then quit on him

they have talent

yisman · 02-09-19, 01:23 PM

Anaheim currently playing in Philly.

Since December 17, the Ducks have two wins.

Looking like another blowout 4-1 as I type . If you arent fading the Ducks right now , you hate money .

Do the panthers finally get a win against Tampa, or just stick to over 6

.

yisman · 02-10-19, 11:52 PM

Palat scratched right before puck drop. Sickening.

2 weeks too late IMO, but better late than never .

yisman · 02-11-19, 11:54 PM

Vancouver ran out of goalies so they used a 19 year old against the Sharks

6-1 SJ after 2

hotcross · 02-12-19, 11:49 PM

that was a rough spot for that Vancouver goalie, Mike DiPietro, on Monday night.

Very first shot against him NHL career, went in.

And the Canucks didn't want to pull him because Markstrom has something wrong, minor injury IIRC.

Tuesday they made a deal with NY Rangers for some no-name minor league goalie to help eat minutes in the remaining games. Marek Mazanec to Vancouver for a 2020 seventh-round draft pick.

Canucks appear to be bowing out of the playoffs for this year.
