Filip Zadina signs in Switzerland, big bag fumble by him

Edmonton signs Draisaitl to an 8 year $112  million extension

Sadly that kills a ton of fun storylines with him coming up on UFA

I don't know who needs or wants to hear this, but here's a random NHL fact I know. Did you know that Tony Twist only had 28 total points over his entire 10 year career. That's an average of 2.8 points per year. Just thought people might want to know that.

Wild. I love factoids like that. Send more when you come across them.

One of my favorite Tony Twist facts is that he sued Todd McFarlane because he included a mob character in the Spawn comics named Antonio "Tony Twist" Twistelli.  Think Tony ended up getting a few million bucks out of it.

I'll be waiting to see how loud the howling is the first time a penalty is called on a face-off infraction.

It turns out that around 5,000 seats have  some type of obstructed view in Utah’s rink.      Would you go to a game where you could only see one net?  This is crazy.

Yikes! Hopefully they get those renovations going quickly

Leafs get shut out by the Habs 1-0 in the season opener for both teams. Leafs offensively played like the Cleveland Guardians on ice.

My boss gave me his season tickets for the night.

I am wearing my Jared Goff jersey.

Update: I got seven different reactions to the Goff jersey, all positive.

One guy started a Jared Goff chant with me. One commiserated over the Bears misery with me (Commies fan). Several just said “Go Lions!”

It’s nice to be proud to wear this jersey rather than just getting others’ sympathy.

For anyone still pining for Walman

Your post got me curious about how Jakub Vrana is doing these days. Actually surprised he is still in the league, although looks to be marginally. 

[slothfacekilla]

I think he made the caps on a player try out contract?  I was surprised he made the team either way, I think he scored in the first game like he always does lol.  I'm very surprised he's in the NHL, hopefully he's figured out whatever was affecting him previously.

Hawks fired coach Luke Richardson today. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I've admittedly not watched many non-Wings games this season. Can someone explain to me how the Capitals are now a first place team after being on a clear decline the past couple of seasons. Did they have a great offseason that I missed out on? I know that they added Chychrun and Roy in the offseason, but is that enough to catapult them into being the best team in the East and third best team overall in the NHL?

Really don’t know. Ovie has been rejuvenated (15G 10A 25Pts 18 gms) but has been injured for a bit with a broken leg. 

Cam Fowler was traded today from the Ducks. Who is the prospect they got from the Blues? The nephew of Tim Biakabatuka.

Saw this on Reddit today. Although I'm not sure if 5 out of 10 five and a half years after the draft is that unusual. Still, Kakko turned out to be such a disappointment.

[buddha]

would you have traded for kakko?

honestly, they would have had to have kept maata.  dealt maata, a 3rd and a 5th.
