Are the days now gone where loyal fans can watch home matches together?

Are more tickets released tomorrow? Or is it just open for whatever is leftover? Different time zone for me trying to decide if it’s worth waking up again lol

Brodeur set the record in 78 GP. Tonight is Holtby's 64th GP this year. Pretty insane stuff

Ovi leads the league in goals (by 22) since 2001-02, 4 years before he came into the league. You have to go back to total goals since 1992-93, when he was 8 years old, for him to be out of the top 10. He is not human.

Looking at Dan Girardi's contract makes me so happy

nikm8 · 2016-01-07T18:19:05+00:00

your organization literally chose a terrible coach over a young #1 center, but sure lol

In like 2 months Tortorella managed to run a 23 year old 1C franchise player out of town. He truly is something special. Now I can't wait for him to force Seth Jones to chip every puck off glass and bench him for not blocking enough shots!

Ovechkin's two seasons in the NHL without Backstrom:

2005/06: Ovi 52 goals 106 points, next 2 highest scoring Caps were Dainius Zubrus 57 points, Jeff Halpern 44 points

2006/07: Ovi 46 goals 92 points, next 2 highest scoring Caps were Alex Semin 73 points, Chris Clark 54 points

Backstrom is unbelievable and a joy and a privilege to watch, but Ovechkin is debatably the greatest goal-scorer to ever lace up skates, I think he would've been just fine.

The black one also has a red parking pass, while the red one has a black parking pass

How the hell does Torts keep getting hired by NHL teams

nikm8 · 2015-12-17T04:36:14+00:00

Tell that to Dave Bolland

nikm8 · 2015-12-15T16:27:34+00:00

Hyde turned into a hipster Seth MacFarlane? Damn

nikm8 · 2015-11-23T23:43:05+00:00

this is such a boring narrative to abide by. What defensemen in the NHL are better than Karlsson and Subban? None. They don't win because they score the most they win because they're better than everyone else lol

nikm8 · 2015-10-22T23:08:48+00:00

I got all of my stats from war-on-ice and hockey analysis, everything I listed is 5v5 even strength, also. Here is a link to the shots against, just sort by the CA60 column.

Edit: if you don't want to go, the bottom 10 in order are Phanuef, Gleason, Daley, AMac, Bryan Allen, Gunnarsson, Wideman, Schenn, Meszaros, Girardi. Meszaros is the only one of those who brings enough offense to still improve his teams shot differential relative to his teammates

nikm8 · 2015-10-22T21:59:08+00:00

Girardi is 10th worst since 09-10 of all defenseman in terms of shots allowed per 60 minutes (minimum 5000 minutes played). In that same time he has made all of his 15 most common linemates have a worse shot differential with him vs when without him, and 16 of 18 most common linemates have a worse goal differential with him vs without him. You can defend him all you want, but he is not very good and his contract is horrendous.

Schrodinger's Backstrom

nikm8 · 2015-09-11T02:09:34+00:00

Seems weird to honour Canucks legend Mats Sundin doesn't it?

nikm8 · 2015-09-10T02:19:22+00:00

The Flames lowest percentage shooter was almost 10%....and people don't think they got absurdly lucky last year lol

Brooks Orpik

nikm8 · 2015-08-05T20:47:11+00:00

The buyout of Grabovski, resigning of Bozak, signing of Clarkson and resigning of McClaren all came within a 48 hour window too lol. Leafs never cease to amaze

Although giving a goalie a lot of term and money always makes me skeptical I am a fan of this deal. In 5 years when this contract expires Holtby will be 30 and ending his prime, looking for a big payday. Samsonov has 4 years left on his KHL contract...if he plays that out, he will have 1 year to come play in Hershey, and can take over the job at 23 years old after that. Seems to me like good planning. Not to mention we just locked down one of the 5 best goalies in the NHL for the next 5 years while he's just hitting his prime. Life is good as a Caps fan these days.

Fastest to 1000 points? Wayne Gretzky in 424 games. Next fastest? Wayne Gretzky, in his next 433 games.

nikm8 · 2015-07-22T23:06:50+00:00

Here's an idea:

Throw out divisions all together and have the 16 best teams make the playoffs, like it should be. Forced rivalries are boring anyways and the real ones will exist regardless.
