Pavelski and Lindell scored on the Stars' first two shots on goal in their 7-4 win over the Stars last night. Fiala scored twice for Minnesota.

Early to bed and early to rise means you can’t watch West Coast games. I’ll make an exception tonight as Tampa vs Vegas will be the last good hockey we’ll get for a while.

Its going to be a long week .

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]The next time the NHL has the opportunity to go to the Olympics, 12 years will have passed since its players last played on the biggest stage of them all.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]No one should be surprised with Tuesday’s news that the NHL will be withdrawing from the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. There were warning signs when the league and its players agreed to go back in September, which escalated into alarm bells over the last few weeks since COVID-19 cases have spiked significantly.[/COLOR]

not really. unless you include the multiple months last year during COVID shutdown. April-June?

12/24 was always deadest day of the year but we always had the Hawai'i Bowl.

NHL cancelled all the games on Monday now. It's a shame too because I was looking forward to watching some hockey at least with 14 games available to choose from on the schedule.

Juniors pivoting upcoming world champ tourney to bubble.

Owen Power remains at Michigan after Sabres pick.

If Canada should win, Power could become first player ever to win gold in both the worlds and the world juniors prior to NHL playing debut.

The NHL will re-implement taxi squads and other roster revisions as the league struggles with current COVID-19 team outbreaks, The Associated Press reported.
According to the new provisions, any club is allowed to have a taxi squad of up to six players and can make emergency recalls to the minor league if COVID-19 absences would cause anyone to play without a full lineup.

Both Lightning goalies in protocol

Dismal season for Habs. Wonder if they will get up off the mat for this one.

Habs are calling up from Laval Rocket in case Stanley Cup rematch goes tonight.

Dismal season for Habs. Wonder if they will get up off the mat for this one.

Seems like if you’d ever bet Habs against Lightning would be tonight at +250 with no head coach and goalies. Likely goalie Max Lagace seems to be a jump ahead of league provided emergency goalie. Bright spot for Lightning is Brayden Point might return tonight.

[mr. leisure]

Gonna bet all 3

Hope you sweep Otters

I'm glad I stayed away from this Sharks game because I surely would've gone under the total in this one. Of course they score 14 goals through 3 periods which is nuts for the Sharks and Coyotes to do.
