[@lenkennedy9214]

You shoud have wore the Shark chain again. They're red hot right now. Ovechkin is on pace for 40 goals right now. Last year he had 8 goals in the first 43 games and still scores 30 so if he continues to score at a similar pace from the the 2nd half of last season he could pass Gretzky this season. And lastly the Pens look done. I think Sullivan will be the first coach to get fired this year unless they start a winning streak right now.

[@tiger5869]

Flower had a few saves reminiscent of his prime, and I appreciate the Pens fans giving him a huge ovation at the end after all the years he was with them. Well deserved.

Logan Thompson doing his best Grant Fuhr impression. Doesn't matter how many you save, only that you save the ones that matter. He's now 4-0 on the season with 87.6sv%. If the Caps can get the goaltending going they'll be unstoppable. To have this record with both goalies sub 90% is amazing

[@ozzydo2314]

Theyre very underrated this season. They might have the best mix of veterans and youth in the league, and they play a tight system. A system that allows goalies to have an off night.

[@davidwhidden9337]

I call it "outscore your problems". I use it for the Leafs allll the time. No defence or goalie? Just outscore the opponent.

[@thrown6638]

Don't worry, they'll draft the next generational talent

[@sensfan7550]

​@XaviRonaldo0 I thought the Caps would be way worse starting a couple years ago like the Pens but they look scary this year after making there defense stronger, all other limes producing and getting solid goaltending too. The Pens have a below average goalie, old washed up defense, and the Pens core is only getting older but they still aren't making moves to retool or going to make trades to go in a rebuild either so idk what this Pens teams trying to do?

[@wisewolftony]

As a Sharks fan I knew it was coming as soon as they traded for Karlsson making almost the same mistake the Sharks made. Not knocking on Karlsson and situation is a bit different as at least the Sharks got a WCF run in them the year of the trade. It was what happened after that was the mistakes trying to retool an aging roster thinking they could still compete when they couldn't. Pens were in same situation when they made the trade. Having a roster which is top heavy in aging stars on their final legs thinking that a trade for Karlsson could give them a 2 or 3 year window to chase one last cup only to now realize the window was already closed before they even made the trade and now they are screwed for the next handful of years.

[@Peksisarvinen]

If Penguins had the best point percetange in their division, you wouldn't hear the end of it. But since they're actually last, I bet you won't hear a peep about it. When anything good happens, it's all "he's the chosen one, he is literally the reason they've won a single game since 2005". When they're last in the division and can't make the playoffs, it's all "well he needs some help". And by "he" I obviously mean Crosby, since according to a lot of (Canadian) hockey pundits, he's the absolute only reason Penguins have won cups and Canada has won gold medals since 2005.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

​@@philtorrez4198and not flukes or empty netters either

[@XaviRonaldo0]

​@@Peksisarvinenit's hilarious that Ovechkin had an objectively better age 36 season than Crosby (marginally but still) yet everyone raves how Crosby is defying the aging process. They forget Ovi is 22 months older. Even Malkin is older than Crosby and is doing much better

[@spacedoutchimp4454]

Certainly an entertaining day of hockey

[@Peksisarvinen]

I've been saying it, but I'll say it again: If Caps can find a #1 center from somwhere, they'll be a dark horse in the playoffs. They're a LOT better than last year.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Imagine what Ryan Leonard will bring come playoff time. I know he'll probably be an NHL winger rather than centre but he will probably be a crazy wildcard

[@wisewolftony]

Might not be a true legit #1 center for a contending team but would imagine Sharks will have Granlund on the market at the deadline. He could at least be a good option if nothing else better is there.

[@Squirmish999]

I love Leonard but I don’t think he’ll be given a spot on this team for the playoffs if they’re playing this well. He won’t have earned it and Miro may come up before then anyway

[@akrocanth]

I dont think any team had a more significant off season than Washington. Their power play is still crap atm, but they're better than they were last year in every other conceivable way. It had been a slow downward trajectory each year since the cup win, but this roster is kicking. Lot of fun to watch.

[@y6cd3sdzHs1g]

What makes it even better is the stark contrast with the Penguins' sputtering start. They look totally out of sync.

[@ikidyounot2676]

Assist of the night: Kaprizov to Zuccarello. Goosebumps.

[@ConfideKylie]

SEA so far this season: the most goals by defencemen in the league and the fastest four goals to start a game. Monty and Stevie also paying off tonight with Monty’s natural hattie (3G 1A) and Stevie’s 4A too.

[@mikeb.2925]

Capitals still haven't gotten elite goaltending this year and their PowerPlay is 0 for their last 21 attempts. They're still winning. Roy has been out injured the past 7 games. Chychrun is now out injured. Washington has a lot of room to improve and could add Cristall, Leonard, Miroshnichenko and Lapierre for the playoffs. They're playing the right way so far with a lot of ways to get even better. Caps are a tough night for any team in the league!

[@XaviRonaldo0]

When does the CHL playoffs end? Let's hope Cristall's team doesn't go far. My guess he'll be traded to a team that's in contention for the WHL title though.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Let's hope he doesn't pick up any bad habits either by playing at a level he's far too good for

[@KevinWindsor1971]

Lapierre is with the Caps. He has been a healthy scratch in 3 out of 10 games this season.

[@mikeb.2925]

@KevinWindsor1971 that was my point. He's likely going to be sent to Hershey before he loses waiver exemption and will likely rejoin Washington closer to the Playoffs. Sgarbossa will have to clear waivers to go back down. But tonight's win came without Lapierre and he will be a part of the team when the playoffs start its just a question of what that role will be. He's still a top prospect for the organization and could be a solid contributor in the future. He was a healthy scratch tonight because he had a team worst -5 rating and 0 points in 7 games.

[@mikeb.2925]

@XaviRonaldo0 " Cristall isn’t eligible to play in the NHL until his junior season ends, so any time with the Caps would depend on when that happens. Kelowna’s last regular season game is March 23 and the Caps finish April 17. Leonard and Boston College finish their regular season March 8, but are expected to make a long playoff run again; the Frozen Four is April 10-12. " per Bailey Johnson's AMA

I work most game nights so when the Sens play I tune into the radio broadcast with Dean Brown and Gord Wilson. Gaudette got that first goal on Binnington, which happened before the Ottawa announcer could even broadcast the goaltender change to the stadium.

Montreal had _no right_ being this bad against Seattle. With the Rangers they had the excuse of facing a Cup contender team and at least putting in a token effort but tonight, the entire team just nonchalantly let the Kraken steamroll them (props to Lane Hutson for being the exception yet again). They acted like the season was already over and for a team meant to be in rebuild, that's a downright toxic attitude. If Marty St-Louis can't whip his own players into showing up, he should either get better assistants to offset that or consider leaving.

Hopefully Celebrini will come back soon and that might give them another little punch of momentum. Not to worried about Smith no having a point yet as I mean can't really fault him his linemates are Goodrow and Kunin two grinder types so hard to expect much out of him right now. Basically team is being carried by 2 lines and 4 players putting up majority of points those being the 3 Lunds and Toffoli although Walman has come on the last two games with 6 points and Wenneberg has been doing some small things to help the team win the last two.
