He should have just stayed here. At least Rod/Slavin could control him. But probably better that he didn’t.

When does Boston play next? It seems like they haven’t played in a week. Fugging Boston. Them sitting at W10 is really grinding my gears.

Tomorrow, Edmonton. Then 2 games with Detroit. Hopefully Oilers take ‘em down.

Flyers fire General Manager Chuck Fletcher

I guess the loss to the Canes after being up 2 was the final straw on a history of poor performance.

Oops, my bad. Canes beat Flyers 1-0. It was the previous game with Montreal where Montreal was up 2-0 before losing to the Canes on the shootout.

Don’t get old kids lol.

Teams can trade after the deadline but the trade isn’t eligible or the playoffs (so I’ve read).

This was an AHL trade, the AHL trade deadline was today march 10 at 3pm.

Interesting that NJ is showing Vanacek in net tonight for the Devils facing Montreal at home. Can't confirm, but they're going to start their #2 goalie against the Canes tomorrow?

The Detroit had Boston down 2-0 through half the game and lost 3-2. But, Boston was at home and Detroit was called for twice as many penalties as Boston, although what I saw was at least 3 uncalled penalties on Marchand thru the 1st 2 periods.

NHL officiating is an all-time worst this year.

NHL wants to give Marchand his send off this year. Svech should break his face.

The thing about Boston too is with the metrics. Boston is not that good outside of Ulmark.

Someone should find a way to track bad penalties in every NHL game and name it the Zebra Effect

Subtract that from the gap between your expected vs actual wins/goals stats, and you have the teams' It Factor

Wouldn’t be hard, but would require watching every game every night. Could be worth monetizing.
