The Blackhawks are starting to climb the standings. They jumped ahead of the Stars last night.

Honestly, Doughty looks pretty damn bad these days

Have to hope he snaps out of it, I don’t see why he can’t

he's been ****in brutal, i counted 3 or 4 times him and maatta were both below the dots at the same time on rush plays last night. that's not the system

couple years ago i thought he would be smart enough to turn himself into a more defensive defenseman when he slowed down, but apparently i underestimated his ego

kopitar can afford to be mediocre til his contract runs out, doughty is turning himself into a huge problem

[VTheKing]

Nucks getting cucked by their former players hard holy

[engscott]

Oil win a scrappy game, maybe what they needed to get into gear

[SSM12]

Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Samsonov and Orlov all put in Covid protocol and the NHL fined the Caps 100k because the 4 of them were in a hotel room together, without masks. No lie.

Pretty xenophobic of the NHL if you ask me. In Biden's America no less!


Unlike other teams, I guess they aren't rescheduling any Caps games, so it'll be interesting if they can tread water these next 2 vs Buffalo

I don't even understand this. They are all in their own bubble or no? I guess because they're allowed to go out but then the player that goes out might catch it then pass it on so they can't have contact with each other.

Dayum... out for four games. That's a tough break, especially with the shortened schedule.

Snorting coke is no fun alone!

Lmfao! I immediately thought of this when I saw Kuznetsov on the list of names. Can just picture them having a Russian Rager in the hotel.


Also, Jets look like total ass on the PP it's quite funny I know it's the Sens, but damn how are you better 5 on 5? Lol

Nucks Habs should be a good one got Boeser and Suzuki on the fantasy team!

The NHL is so fukin stupid.

They can sit in a locker room together. They can sit next to each other on buses and planes. They can sit on a bench during practices and games together. They can play together. They can grab on to each other and literally punch each other in the face. But how fukin dare you hang out with a buddy in a hotel room.

The NHL can't help but suck off hErO healthcare workers. What a joke.

The point is to only allow them to be together in controlled situations, otherwise it's not a bubble. Of course there are idiosyncrasies in the situation because major league players are effectively getting exemptions the rest of the population doesn't, but the rules aren't hard to follow.

Just when I thought the Devils were going to have consistent goaltending Blackwood goes on the COVID list fml

I would start a gofundme to get him back on the sugar if it meant his play got back to that level. Seriously.

I guess Samsonov tested positive, but the 4 were in a hotel room together. How is that ANY different from being on the bench, closer together, no masks.

A few of the wives sorta went off about it.



Also, the Canes and Dallas were able to postpone games, but the Caps get ****ed. TJ Oshie basically implied that they are a close team that like doing things together. I read his comment as a roll eyes towards the decision, but he also had to be PC about it.


Just means we will get to see a beat red Laviolette on the bench tonight when the Sabres start the onslaught.(I actually think the Caps can tread water for 4 games, team is talented enough)

He has looked amazing from what I have seen. Hughes has been on another level too. I have the Devils and Detroit as surprise teams this year.

Maybe Carolina and Dallas followed protocol and still got sick, where the Caps didn’t? Why shouldn’t they be punished for their own stupidity

[cadetduke]

sickens me brah. can't even support this garbage anymore. the laine trade talk was it for me

and if it wasn't for all the cringeworthy virtue signalling by the league i would probably watch some other teams but i don't even wanna do that now

No longer talk lol

True. And I’m pretty sure that’s the reason. I was just complaining.
