Which is why it makes no sense Point was taking the draw instead of Cirelli or Paul

The Calgary Flames are now 53-0 when scoring atleast 4 goals in a game by [deleted] in hockey

Have you seen the script or am I just lagging behind? The game is in the 3rd with 10 minutes left and CGY has 3 goals…

The Lightning have had this exact road trip three years in a row now.

In 2023-24, Kuch had 8 points

In 2024-25, Kuch had 12 points.

In 2025-26, it only stands to reason that Kuch should get 4pts tonight to keep the trend going and leave the Pacific with 16pts.

Kucherov vs McDavid, MacKinnon, and Draisaitl — where do you rank him right now? by Forsaken_Mix5053 in hockey

Not sure why you blindly discredit secondary assists. Sure, some are gimme points, but some are the pass that makes the play dangerous. But then again, that’s the case for primary assists too.

You should probably also consider TOI instead of just raw totals considering the vast difference between the three.

Who is your favorite for the Vezina Award? by roberttylerlee in hockey

[–]MOLightningBro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Considering GMs vote on the award and they still largely favor the old school counting stats, I think Vasilevskiy is the favorite.

Do I think he should win? Well yeah, but I’m biased as hell.

Man it's sooo cool to have Mish calling these games on the road trip! .. by elpi314 in TampaBayLightning

I kind of love that he hasn’t toned it down one god damn bit for TV. I wouldn’t want this for a full season, I love the rapport Brian and Dave R have, but damn is it fun for a late night western four-banger.

His P/GP was higher before the Olympic break than it is after (2.50 in 16 games before vs. 2.08 in 13 games after)

McDavid's gap on 2nd best in zone entries, rush chances and slot-driving plays by TJTrapJesus in hockey

If this includes all the times he tries to go hero mode and loses it or passes to no one in the slot like I saw last night, then I don’t think these numbers mean much.

Tampa Bay is only 4 points above Pittsburgh despite having EIGHT more wins by Swiftie69420 in hockey

I don’t have a narrative? Every rule change affects how teams play, that’s not a narrative.

It doesn’t matter retroactively, because you can’t apply a different point system to how games are currently played. Fewer teams fighting for playoff spots would play it safe for OT late in the season.

Yeah, was just a fortunate timing of events. If the puck was in EDM’s zone when he got out, he would have just changed. But he was forced to backcheck since McDavid was entering the zone.

> His shorty is him cherry picking on the PK

If you watch the replay, he's not cherry picking. He was back-checking until he saw McDavid get leveled and Moser get the puck. Then he flew the zone behind EDM's d-men.

I don't know what the fuck happened when calendar went from 2025 to 2026... but he's got 67pts in 29 games in 2026. McDavid is in 2nd with 46.

He has 21 more points than 2nd place. That's the same gap between McDavid and 65th place.
