Love the NHL standings:
Win 3-4 games in a row, make up basically no ground
Lose 3-4 games in a row, lead the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes

Last time the Devils grabbed a former Lightning scorer hasn’t worked out so well, but I’m sure this time it’ll be different . . .

If the Preds decide to tear things down, Steven Stamkos and Ryan O’Reilly could be on the move.
Digging into what these two still have left in the tank + what kind of roles are fitting at this point in their careers after a tough last year+ in Nashville

Love this week of the NHL season - where the U.S. teams cram in as many home games as possible when their fans are back home
But they can’t even have the Canadian teams play on Thanksgiving Thursday in Canada because they need those seven teams to be the road teams in the U.S.

When the Hughes brothers eventually end up on the same team, do they decide to get injured at the same time and miss the same 20 games each year or do they rotate which brother inevitably is injured throughout the course of the season?
