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...

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...

Is it a battle of former Leaf goalies tonight? Should see at least 10 goals if so. | Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images
Welcome back!
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!
Reimer may be starting toni...

EDM lineup at Seattle: Kane-McDavid-Hyman RNH-Draisaitl-Foegele Janmark-Bjugstad-Yamamoto Kostin-Shore-Ryan Nurse-Ceci Ekholm-Bouchard Kulak-Desharnais Skinner — Jack Michaels (@EdmontonJack) March 18, 2023
Ekholm has been an unbeliveable add. I don’t like our RD side at all though. Our LD side is doing some heavy lifting.
And here is a fun tweet from us that I feel is worth discussing:

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.
Draisaitl now has 716 points in 624 career NHL games - and has established him...
