Reviewing January 27th NHL Games

[@CorridoC]

My brother is a Grand Rapids native and he goes to quite a few of the Griffin's games. He told me you could always see the hustle and work ethic in Shine's game and it's cool to see a guy get an NHL debut so late into their career. Couldn't be happier for him.

[@casewojo6186]

Lucas Raymond is becoming a superstar. 4 point night with another nasty pass to Cat to tie it. Dude will be a 100 point player in the next two seasons. Wings are actually decent/good under Todd. Not a coach bump, it’s a mindset shift. Go Wings. The fact that the Wings didn’t fold after Seider flub, is very impressive. The confidence is high under Todd.

[@eciggy]

Detroit's post game with Shine was so lovely for the guy, reporters helped make the experience for him.

[@darkphoenix2]

Wings' youth already looking impressive with plenty more to come. Exciting.

[@erosnemesis]

Have heard this for years...I'll believe it the day pigs fly.

[@michaellaughlin8457]

detroit rolling lately very refreshing to watch them win! 🤷‍♂️💪😊💪👍

[@McSomething15]

It's not even simply that they're winning. It's also how they're playing in those wins. That 6-5 SO win against Buffalo in early December was brutal to watch. This team just is not the same.

[@mattcraig163]

LGRW!!!!! Thank goodness the Wings were able to get things together and make up for that Talbot/Seider gaff. haha oh man i thought it was gonna be a long night after that but i was pleasantly surprised to see them not melt down. Hope they keep up this strong play

[@lyfeisinfinite2303]

I know St. Louis has been slipping, but Dylan Holloway has been fantastic this season.

[@noahsouliere3965]

We actually had an EBUG backup for the oilers today, university of Alberta golden bear goalie Tyler Palmer. He is 21, first year at the university, played 3 years in the WHL with Victoria and Everett, and parts of two seasons in the AJHL, from Fernie BC, he is have a very good year at the university with a 10-3 record, fourth lowest GAA’s at 2.08 and 10th highest SV% at .916. Almost 2 years to the day oilers had Matt Berlin step in, only Palmer didn’t get in because of close game. Skinner missed practice but was expected to still be good to go as a back up, but nope, as him and his wife welcomed there second baby boy to the world today. He didn’t play so no one will necessarily talk about it, but I thought it was cool, also was there at the game live, he had some sick moves, including a between the legs shot he put in top corner, maybe he gets signed one day similarly to Noah Philp, but time will tell for Palmer

[@kryten09]

Will Smith on the sharks is starting to play like they were hoping. Kinda like his NCAA season where it was a slow start, then turns it on mid season. Looks more comfortable, more confidence, doing the "little things" right. Successful season for him if he keeps playing like that more often than not in the remaining 29 games.

[@yungneeks88]

The Canucks are long over due for a decent winng streak... -crosses fingers-

[@aaronjaiden62]

The Pens 5-3 win against Edmonton on Jan 9th foolishly had me thinking they could build some momentum and maybe go on a run. Since then, we’ve gone 2-7 while scoring a combined 8 goals in those 7 losses. Two of those vs the Kraken, one vs the Ducks and Sharks. Now I’m hoping for a top 5 pick. Life comes at you fast lol.

[@danmoore1678]

Askarov has been fighting the flu all week, lost a bit of weight even. Think tonight was playing a bit more healthy again

[@seanworre1l]

Actually Miller’s assist was waived because Pettersson got a tip on Garland’s second goal. No gordie however hat trick 😢

[@therealandonlyadam]

I like the chess piece magnet! Fun idea.

[@williamhinchcliff6290]

We can now add the Blues to the list of teams selling at the deadline. That homestead was a back breaker.

[@jamesboley573]

Yep. Sad day

[@mercywilliams2698]

What a difference with Wings! The coaching has brought out the ability and refinement that was lacking prior to McClellan hire. ✅ As Kings fan..it seems the offensive depth is perhaps subpar. They have such a good team but the scoring pop is pretty much dependent on a handful of talented forwards. Foegle tho was a great add at beginning of season.

[@poejavelski148]

14:11 unfortunately I don't have all the data, but I do have the no mercy data readily available for past seasons. Last season, the Oilers were involved in the most no mercy games (13), 11 for and 2 against. Next closest no mercy wins were the Stars with 6, making the Oilers the biggest "bullies" by a landslide. Sharks had the worst result, with 0 wins and 11 no mercy losses. Amazingly, despite winning the Presidents Trophy, the Rangers were only involved in 2 no mercy games last year, where they lost to the Canes 6-1 and beat the Sens 7-2. Over the past 3 seasons, the Oilers are still the no mercy leaders, involved in 25 games, 21 for and 4 against. The Ducks are the worst team in this time frame, with only 1 no mercy win and 20 no mercy losses. Rangers are the most conservative team, with only 7 no mercy games in that time, 5 for 2 against. In this time, the Panthers have the best no mercy percentage, with 15 for and 2 against giving them a no mercy percentage of 88.2%. (Funny how the Oilers and Panthers are the leaders in these categories and were the finalists. Are Shannon's no mercy magnets a legit predictor? Jk.) In the salary cap era, the Rangers have the best no mercy percentage, being on the winning side of 69.1% of no mercy games. Since 1990, the worst no mercy team of all time is the 93-94 Senators, going 0-17. The best no mercy team by % is the 92-93 Islanders, going 10-0 in no mercy games. By wins alone it's a 3-way tie at 11, including last years Oilers.

[@Rockhound6165]

Hearing the linesman yell "It was in the wrong hand" was hilarious but yeah, that stick was broken in half and IIRC there was another stick on the ice too. Good win by the Flyers but the Devils just looked like they were skating in wet cement all night. If it weren't for Allen the Flyers might have scored 6 or 7 and barely missed on a shorthanded pick pocket play in front of the net on that 4 minute minor. Hopefully they can repeat this performance on Wednesday night.

[@devonn3278]

I genuinely wonder if Askarov's rough games were because he was still recovering from his illness. Like he had to be kept out of a game bc he lost too much weight due to illness apparently, and then the games he played after that were some of his worst. Like obviously it could be unrelated, sometimes players just have a bad night, sometimes the other team is just really good, but it is notable.

[@richarddespres8011]

Shine can hang out with Mr. Sparkle but you better not say that he has the Shining. It's the Shinning unless you wanna get sued!

Red Wings won 13 out of 35 games under Derek Lalonde. Red Wings have won 11 out of 16 games under Todd McLellan. It was the coaching all along.

Is this his 2nd season? Some players need experience, especially offensive defensemen. They learn the defensive part after.

[@Razahoo7]

Well they cant upset their best player by sending his brother to the AHL where he belongs.

[@jonmendelson1104]

I'm confused. Isn't the defense supposed to give the puck away all the time? Note that I'm a Sharks fan, so this might be that we've been fielding a defense corpse instead of a defense corps for the last few years.

Devils are cooked. Fitzgerald needs to wake up or the team is going to slip right out of contention.

[@MrXanderii]

You did a video specifically talking about mcdavid and his suspension. I really would love to hear your take on kucherov and the play on Rasmussen. This is the kind of stuff the league needs to action on. They made an example of mcdavid, granted it was a face cross check..I get it.... But kucherov who may be one of the most talented players in the league but also one of the most violent and will injure you, if he can get away with it. Something needs to change. This is the kind of plat that is ruining the game.

Back and forth game until Corey Perry off of a long stretch pass by Nurse forcibly got the goal and the lead. Ekholm with an empty netter to seal the deal (and break the Empty Net curse). Janmark got only his 2nd goal this season. McDavid scored on his first game after the suspensions. We win, retake the division lead. LA Lost to Detroit (who we face next) and with their games in hand they can't catch either VGK or us (with JUST the games in hand) irrelevant of if they won them all and we do nothing. It's still tight in the division. PK was perfect BUT Oilers took too many penalties. PP had only one chance and it failed. Sorry for the limited commentary. Hope the stats are useful. Take care all

i'm not one of those losers that blames the refs for everything, but good lord the officiating was absolutely egregious in the stl-van game (on "referee appreciation night" lmao). some of the worst i've seen in a while also the league really needs to get their story straight with goalie interference. holloway was trying to brake as he crashed the crease and hughes very clearly pushed holloway twice, once before he entered the crease and once more into lankinen as he was trying to get out of the way. all i am asking for is consistency in these calls (it won't happen) because it is quite literally a coin flip
