"Jeremy Swayman has a shutout in 11.4% of his NHL starts" Pay dat Maan hees money! Haven’t you heard but he always loses in ot…. yes, he has, often. 3 on 3...and he is tremendous goalie once his team is up 2....absolutely stays in shutdown mode.

Another nice win. Great team effort. Stats looking good especially moving up to 50% at the dots.
Will continue to be superstitious and not post during the game as long as they keep on winning. Enjoying all the posts.
Only had the Devils feed. Ken Daneyko still one of the best non-bias wingman in the league.

Freddy with the speed display and using all of his reach and stick to get the empty netter. Talk about earning it. He broke up the play, made the steal, pushed it up ice and showed marchy how to deposit.

Another Florida choke, v. the Ducks no less and B's are extending East lead. Came from 2 goals down twice. other games of note today: — Elvis did not leave the building — took out Nucks in a SO. — Kings continue adding to road wins in Carolina. Glad I’m not a betting guy.

Glad I’m not a betting guy. this is why B's seem to filter through this stuff...these better teams all seem to hit big slumps or find ways to lose in bad fashion...not that the B's haven't done that at all, just that I think when you get 3 regulation ties in 4 games on a road trip, come home and play maybe their best 60 minute effort of year while others are falling on their faces...you start thinking this team does have the goods.

League is exceptionally even this year. The Cup is anyone's to win if they make the dance.

You really can't say there is a dominating team or even a team that is not completely out of the equation either...it's great parity.

Love the way Lohrei and Wotherspoon are playing...best hockey I've seen out of both... Wotherspoon just might be playing himself into a dman, looked good the last few games, he also plays a physical game. Sweeney loves his 2015 picks.

League is exceptionally even this year. The Cup is anyone's to win if they make the dance. You really can't say there is a dominating team or even a team that is not completely out of the equation either...it's great parity. Ottawa and SJ are definitely out of the party. Maybe not in math, but if you've played the first half at a sub .400 rate, you're done. Brady Tkachuk tried to bring the 2018-19 Blues into the conversation about what the Senators are playing for now, but that Blues team was playing .459 hockey. Chicago with no Bedard for a while is out, too, and the Quacks gave up a top 4 D for a guy who will finish the year in college, so they aren't keen to chase a spot. No Zegras. Out. On the other end, in the East, I think Boston, Florida are probably safe in the Atlantic, with Toronto looking over their shoulders a bit now that Detroit and TB are the WC teams and with the Pens, Isles and Devs within 3 points. I think the Rangers are safe, but in the Met, I really don't know what to think about Philly as the 2 seed and Carolina as the 3. You have to think the Canes are looking at a strong finish after a terrible start for them, and the Flyers might revert to what we've seen from them in recent years. But I wonder if in addition to the Torts effect, the addition of a reliable second goalie in Ersson along with the return of Couturier and Atkinson makes them more real than seemed likely. But to the point about get in and go - Crosby gets in and you have to wonder how far their veterans can push them. Isles play a game that's better in the playoffs than the regular season - and they're heavy so even if you get by them, you're wearing the results for a month. And the Devils are where they are (11th in the East) in large part due to injury - Hamilton and Hughes are big pieces of their core. They're supposed to be back, so you'll be getting a tougher team than the record shows. Tampa's experience, Detroit's potential to be that "don't know any better" team that makes it for the first time, are both credibly arguments for dark horse candidates in the East.

I watched the highlight a few times, and "speed" wasn't my primary thought. Felt like everyone in that race had some heavy legs because it sure looked like Nemec in particular should have been able to make up ground on Freddy. But I wonder if Freddy's a guy with power and a big stride who looks slow because he doesn't take as many strides. People used to talk about how slow Lucic was, but you'd see him as the guy turning a two on two into a three on two or coming back hard after a turnover, and you could see that he was covering a lot of ground. He just lacked that first one or two steps that would get him up to speed and beat guys from a stop.

Big strides, also. Looked slow until players tried to catch him. I think there was an initial perception that he was lazy because that same motion appeared to lack effort to some.

Rangers pretty much been caught, but don't read much into it at this point. the Canes will calm down and NY will rattle of a bunch of wins...pretty straight forward. One of the few exceptions to this rule...forgot the year, Ottawa punts the Bruins, in a fashion i would have bet the farm against. the sens final 20ish games. they won at a clip they never, ever did all year. they did what nobody ever does. that coupled with the b's turning the gun on themselves, and it's golf season. no playoffs. there's incredible regular season parity. the structure and depth of a team matters when opposition gets to study you though.
