Bolts going 2 for 2 against Buffalo in Sweden was nice. Maybe having a week off, two games, then another week off will help them get back in it. Looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, have tickets to both Saturday games those weekends.

Caps with just a single OT loss and 10 wins in their last 11 games. Can't really complain with 21 out of 22 standings points earned during that stretch, except that OT loss was a blown 3-1 lead.

Caps offense has been great, defense /goal tending is still an issue imo. I just have no faith in Holtby at this point, even if he has been at least trending towards league average recently. The bruins are on a 3 game losing streak, but in a 7 game series I'm taking Rask over Holtby 24/7/365. I'd probably take Halak over Holtby as well. The Islanders look good too by virtue of a stellar defense; unstoppable force (Caps offense) vs immovable object (Isles defense) would make for an interesting series

Holtby owns the Bruins, though. Also I think you're a little overboard on the never trust him part anymore. Since getting pulled after allowing 3 goals on 3 shots against Colorado, he's 7-0-1 with 22 GA in those games, and a .920 sv% all situations, which is quite a bit better.

Also Caps players have kind of stated that Reirden's system is a bit more aggressive, and they're giving up some more chances against while they adjust. Hopefully they can fine tune it more where we can still generate a lot of offense without giving up as many quality chances against.

Wait because of what he said or because he reminds you of Madden commentary? Lol

Because he's a douche that spouts stream of consciousness nonsense that doesn't benefit anyone. On his best day he is nearly coherent.

As an added bonus, we won't have to look at his stupid suits anymore.

Yeah I agree with you there and he came off like Get Off My Lawn guy for his comments on the canes last season. I thought you were saying his comments were wrong.

I love Ovi, and he's a for sure Hall of Famer, but Connor McDavid is seriously on another tier list when we rank the best hockey players in the league currently. Sure he doesn't have the success, or pedigree. But the magic that mother fucker makes is so satisfying to watch. If Bolts don't make it to playoffs I'm rooting for Oilers.

Crosby might miss 4-6 weeks? Sports hernia?

While I'm biased as hell, I don't think Ovechkin has been in the real running for overall best player in the league for awhile now. Best goal scorer, yes, but it's been McDavid v. Sid for best overall player the last few years.

McDavid > Crosby all day. Crosby was gifted to a team that didn't deserve him, whereas McDavid was drafted to an organization that has done everything to waste his potential. Despite all that, he has amazed since day one.

Not trying to sound salty here either, I have come to terms with how amazing Sid is. Just the shit McDavid does is somehow on another level.

I can’t think of a team less deserving of McDavid then the oilers

I mean, I think it's an argument right now. Prime Sid might be as good or better, though.
