It’s the King’s tonight. I have this theory on the West. It’s WIDE OPEN. I’m not seeing a clearcut favorite or clearcut easy opponent.
If Vegas and Colorado were at 100% then I’d say them without hesitation.
LA is a beautiful team but the goaltending situation (while slightly improved) isn’t the best.
We have a beautiful group of 4 forwards outscoring opponents and hiding a lot of mistakes. We don’t have a legit go...

The 2019 draft pick finally made his NHL debut - and it was worth the wait. Winger Lukáš Rousek became the second member of the 2019 Buffalo Sabres draft class to reach the NHL on Monday night, making his debut in a shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens . (The other member of that draft class to play in the NHL so far is, of course, Dylan Cozens.)
Rousek’s long-awaited debut certainly didn’t disappoint, as he scored his first NHL goal on his...

It might only be mathematical, but the Sabres are still in it. Once again the Buffalo Sabres have pulled back into the Eastern Conference wildcard race seemingly having corrected their slump with two straight wins beating Metro Division contenders New Jersey Devils and then their direct wildcard rivals New York Islanders .
This week the schedule does get a bit softer, but as we’ve already learned, Buffalo cannot really take any opponents for granted with how they’ve been playing recently. It...

Coyotes on deck tonight in another late weeknight start! Get used to those as our odds of making playoffs are very good. Our odds of winning the Pacific are not. Feels like we will meet LA who has been killing it lately.
Yotes have been better as of late and playing decent hockey. Only 2 losses in their last 10. 5-2-3. I’m not sure which goalie we start. Skinner has looked like a rookie in the second half of his first season. Campbell has ...

Period 2 coming up.
Skinner letting in a few meh goals. Remember, he’s a rookie backup and everyone is praising Holland for Ekholm. What seems to have been forgotten is that our starter is unplayable and we are relying on a rookie to play 80% of the remaining regular season games and then to win 16 more in playoffs.
I love Skinner but it’s a big ask!

It’s a late one tonight. 10:30 EST start. This may seem outrageous however, I’d suggest to get used to it because playoff games start at 10 EST and they always start late. So this should feel like dryland training for the playoffs!
Coyotes are a fake team designed to take on cap space for the other teams. Most recently it was Jakub Voracek going there to LTIRetire. They definitely didn’t get w...

Tonight is the Sharks and there are a few reasons I’m fascinated with this one:
I was in charge of our Mock Draft and drafted Martin Kaut... at the time everyone said I was nuts and he’d be a bust. Well, you were probably right! But I will cheer for him to the end.
Campbell may be the starter and that’s always fun!

Leon Draisaitl’s powerplay production has reached new heights this season, and is a major reason why he hit the century mark. Scoring another two goals on Tuesday night against Ottawa, 27-year old Leon Draisaitl reached the 100 point mark for the fourth time in his career. He currently ranks third in the league this season with 44 goals and seventh overall with 56 assists.

The Russell Westbrook era got off to the craziest start possible for the Clippers. In a game that effectively resembled a belated NBA All-Star exhibition matchup, the Los Angeles Clippers fell to the Sacramento Kings, 176-175, in double overtime.

Goofy stuff happens in hockey games. Usually once or twice in a season, an unfortunate team will end up giving up a goal while possessing the puck during a delayed penalty, either thanks to a bad bounce or errant pass will find its’ way into a vacated goal.
That happened twice on Friday evening. But that’s not the strangest part. Adding to the already astronomical improbability is that in both instances, the player credited for the goal was the player that the delayed pe...
