Ducks with a nice win over the blues tonight and four wins in a row .

**BarkingToad** · 11-08-21, 09:17 AM

I’m sure Islanders can’t wait for their first home game of the season in a little under 2 weeks.

Connor McDavid's game winner vs NYR on Friday night looked like a Booby Orr goal. People are already calling it the goal of the year.

Ovechkin tied Bobby Hull last night, now sharing no. 4 spot on all time scoring list.

**hotcross** · 11-09-21, 05:54 PM

that's 741 GOALS scored, and it seems Ovechkin will indeed eventually take the top spot on that list

Wayne Gretzky however on the All-Time Points list (goals + assists) has 2,857

2nd place on that list is Jaromir Jagr with 1,921 just to put that in perspective

Montreal -145

Bob Murray has resigned as executive vice president and general manager of the Anaheim Ducks, the team announced on Wednesday. The move is effective immediately, and Murray will enroll in an alcohol abuse program.
The decision was made one day after the Ducks placed Murray on administrative leave pending an internal investigation into allegations of improper professional conduct. Anaheim has not specified when these complaints were made, or how many people have come forward.

MacKinnon out three weeks for Avalanche with lower-body injury

Center injured against Blue Jackets, tied for Colorado lead in points

Nathan MacKinnon will be out three weeks for the Colorado Avalanche with a lower-body injury.

The center played 20:40 and had two shots on goal in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
"Give or take three weeks," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday. "Happened in the game the other night."
MacKinnon has scored 10 points (one goal, nine assists) in eight games, tied for the team lead with forwards Gabriel Landeskog and Nazem Kadri. He missed the first two games of the season while in NHL COVID-19 protocol.
Colorado hosts the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.

Right, that explains it for sure.

**hotcross** · 11-11-21, 05:12 PM

Now tonight Nov.11 Thursday, the Kings are in Ottawa looking to extend the win streak. But it's 3rd game in 4 nights and Ottawa has played better than Montreal by comparison.

So that line looks out of whack to me with Kings -115 range, Ottawa +105

Think I will try the Senators tonight

Also waiting goalie confirmation for Detroit home game vs Washington. Capitals are starting Fucale.... who?? I want Greiss to start for Detroit

What site do you guys use for Goalie and/or lineup confirmations?

**yisman** · 11-11-21, 10:36 PM

Colby Cave left an indelible mark on the NHL community, which is continuing to honor his legacy.
The Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins on Thursday night celebrated Cave's life, which was cut tragically short in April 2020 by a brain bleed. Cave was just 25 years old.

It may be early enough in the season that 4 games in 3 nights doesn't have as much impact as it would later along.

I hope someone knows and posts a good goalie confirmation source. When do teams have to confirm by?

People will spend serious money to be entertained, even if they don't fully understand what it is.

What a coincidence that ESPN/ABC switched out of Blackhawks-Blues to Rangers-Bruins at 1 p.m. on Black Friday in the network’s first over-the-air national telecast since gaining NHL rights this season.
What, the NHL and network didn’t see the upside in showcasing the rotten Chicago organization that the league so proudly presented as a quasi-house franchise through the 2010s, creating as many national events as possible to cram the Blackhawks down our throats?
Now, not.
Guess this is not one that could readily be brushed aside by citing “off-ice distractions.”

Borowiecki to have Player Safety hearing for actions in Predators game

Defenseman facing discipline for kneeing against Coyotes forward Jaskin

Mark Borowiecki will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday.

The Nashville Predators defenseman is facing discipline for kneeing against Arizona Coyotes forward Dmitrij Jaskin.
The incident occurred at 12:30 of the first period in the Predators' 4-1 loss at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Saturday. Borowiecki received a minor penalty, but then was assessed a game misconduct for an ensuing fight. Jaskin did not return to the game.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: kneeing. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.

Leo Komarov officially left the New York Islanders in an Instagram post Sunday after the forward signed with SKA of the Kontinental Hockey League.

Komarov was in the final season of a four-year contract he signed with the Islanders on July 1, 2018. He scored 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists) in 164 regular-season games and eight points (two goals, six assists) in 44 Stanley Cup Playoff games for New York. He was held without a point in one game this season, a 5-1 loss at the Florida Panthers on Oct. 16, and was placed on waivers two days later. He cleared Oct. 19 and was assigned to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League.

John Gibson has been very good for my fantasy hockey team. Now hopefully Kucherov heals up soon because the team that I have Gibson on is in dead last place mostly because Kucherov who was my first pick has been on IR for most of the season. It's a long season though so I'm not worried and I did just get Mark Stone back so maybe I start to turn things around.

Getzlaf gets his 1,000th career point and Ducks get win number 1,000, both in the same game.
