Edmonton just can`t get it together this year .

[hotcross]

Kings were fired up for those milestones

we'll see how they do tonight in San Jose

[yisman]

Shea Weber got injured today

Filip Forsberg returned from a long absence

Toronto with a pathetic home showing, getting shut out 4-0 by Nashville

[BarkingToad]

Good , they need him cause Jake Allen sucks .

[yisman]

Vegas has to make a decision soon because Brandon Pirri will play his tenth NHL game this week, it seems.

[BarkingToad]

He certainly did last night

[yisman]

Rakell returned tonight for Anaheim, soon after Cam Fowler returned.

Correct

if Pirri plays the next 2 games, Vegas cannot send him back down to AHL without him being available on waivers...which he probably wouldnt clear the way he has played.

[xraygord]

Plenty of action tonight..

[yisman]

Pirri demoted to the AHL after playing only one game to conserve his last two.

[hotcross]

^^ wondering if that helps makes San Jose an automatic play tonight ??

Vegas won 7 in a row overall, and have beat the Sharks the previous 3 meetings.

Look at the teams Vegas beat in this winning streak tho.... COL, at LAK, at ARIZ, LAK, at ANA, NJ, NYR

San Jose won 4 in a row, arguably against equally unimpressive opponents except Tampa.... at COL, TB, LAK, EDM

Vegas has 3 recent injuries besides losing Pirri... Reilly Smith, William Carrier, Colin Miller

Sharks missing 2 defensemen... Vlasic and Braun

[hotcross]

I might have misunderstood your post, yisman

Pirri played in Thursday night's game vs. San Jose

Cody Eakin was scratched for the Knights. Can't remember why the reason they mentioned.

Anyway, it's all good. I played the Sharks big and they just went up 3-2 halfway into 3p, so hopefully they hang on for me.

[BarkingToad]

Jordan Binnington now won first 2 career starts, only giving up 1 total goal.

They demoted him and then somehow changed their minds

http://sinbin.vegas/why-brandon-pirri-was-sent-down-and-recalled-within-two-hours/

Before tonight’s game against the San Jose Sharks, the Golden Knights sent Brandon Pirri to the AHL and then recalled him within two hours. All along he remained in Las Vegas and eventually played in the night’s game.
The question is, why?
There were speculations of trades, belief that salary cap was involved, even the Chicago Wolves schedule came up as a point of conversation. But all along the transaction was simply made to exploit a tiny rule in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that effectively resets the waiver clock for Pirri.

Former Rangers, Blue Jackets star Rick Nash retires due to 'unresolved' concussion issues

The Ducks are a mess . Losing streak up to 10 now .

[yisman]

The Ducks are a mess . Losing streak up to 10 now .

they blew a huge lead to PIT

that was just embarrassing

[BarkingToad]

3 wins in 3 career starts for Jordan Winnington, I mean, Binnington

[hotcross]

Mike Smith apparently will be starting in net for Calgary, and the over/under is 6 about even money to the under. Strange.

[yisman]

one more game still yet to start

Happened again, 11 in a row

They traded Cogliano to Dallas for Devin Shore .

I would have fired Randy Carlyle .

[yisman]

I would have fired Randy Carlyle .

yeah I think Carlyle has got to go.

True, especially when Coach Q is unemployed.

[mr. leisure]

yeah I think Carlyle has got to go.

Maybe Bring in some new younger blood like the NFL .

[yisman]

Yandle on DK tonight

[hotcross]

Coach Q might be thinking about Seattle. Just hypothetical, actually based on previous statements he prefers a team with a short time horizon to a potential Cup win... so an already stacked team.

That would make sense

[yisman]

Duchene's birthday, plus he just had a child, plus he's playing against his original team (only other team he's played for)

[hotcross]

^^Good observation about Ottawa tonight, I just couldn't pull the trigger, but they're up 3-0 so far tonight against Colorado.

Beware Calgary tonight will be missing 3 defensemen against a healthy Buffalo team who should be hungry after losing 3 in a row.

[yisman]

Duchene must've heard me. Wound up getting two goals and an assist.

[mr. leisure]

Should Dallas be - 190 against anybody right now ?

HELL NO , Kings win
