@Covers_josh Fired the GM who built the team, guy who comes in and traded for 2 washed players gets all the credit.

Since this moment the Sabres have; No.1 Point% at .808 (30-6-3) No.1 GAA (2.61) No.1 SV% (91.37%) No.1 GF% (60.64%) No.2 scoring offense (3.87) and are one point away from leading the Eastern Conference

@evanrawal Luckily for the Avs tonight. They've played terribly and are lucky he's kept them in it and that they managed to get a few quick ones. Defensive mess all game and the offense has been non-existent for the most part other than a quick burst in the first period.

This goaltending situation is going to be fascinating to watch down the stretch. Wedgewood just continues to play very, very well.

@04SabresFan @wyshynski Gotta say I like Pittsburgh's matte black helmets they're wearing todaym

@wyshynski Black helmets suck!

Lay’em down and smack’em Yakem #Sens

@ProducerDrew_ Dallas' strategy of consistently getting horribly out shot is finally coming back to bite them. Ranked like 30th in the league but somehow keep winning thanks to their finishing/PP.

If scores hold the Avs will be 7-points up in the Central with a game in hand 5 days ago their lead was down to just 2-points. #GoAvsGo

@cmasisak22 Shockingly the Avs overpassed both chances and it led to 0 shots.

#Avs erase both ends of the double minor on Kadri. Had multiple odd-man rushes shorthanded, but they'll take getting out of that with the score still 4-1.

@cmasisak22 Definitely was a penalty, but I have no clue where they saw blood.

The #Avs got the 3-goal lead back ... and Nazem Kadri just got called for a double-minor for high sticking. 4-minute power play coming up for the Penguins.

@cmasisak22 As an Avs fan, that was an AWFUL penalty call.

#Avs get a power play and score in five seconds. Martin Necas with a one-timer in the left circle from Cale Makar. The visitors have not played all that well this period and suddenly have a 3-1 lead.

@christian_bolle Avs have been a complete mess this entire period other than 1-2 shifts.

If I was the Avs I would stop turning the puck over

@cmasisak22 Avs playing with fire early in this game. Keep handing Pittsburgh free/good looks.

Nathan MacKinnon just took the puck off Parker Wortherspoon at the defensive blue line, got around him and went in and scored. 1-0 #Avs Penguins have had the better chances so far ... but not one like that. No. 46 for MacKinnon.

@JFreshHockey Pretty much how Hall beat MacKinnon that one year.

Since there's more Hart Trophy discourse, bumping this article. The Hart Trophy is for the best player in the league that season. All the hand-wringing over "most valuable to his team" is 1. dumb and 2. makes the award debate dumb 🔗: jfresh.substack.com/p/the-hart-tro…

@Capitals @ovi8 Ice is so bad and the game was so boring after 2 periods that I stopped watching to do laundry. But congratulations on 1000.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED

@cmasisak22 Pretty even game yet the PPs being 5 to 2 seems very NHL.

#Avs take another penalty with 6:03 left. The captain this time. Fifth one of the game. Caps power play has looked pretty bad, but they're playing with fire. Best power-play shooter of all time is still out there.

@Avalangelist Bad ice and only attempting the fancy plays is a good combo for a loss.

Stop trying seam passes! Caps defend those better than almost anyone.

@TheBananaMG @DNVR_Rudo Ice is shit and you have to adapt. Avs keep trying for the fancy play. Put pucks on net when the ice is awful.

@DNVR_Rudo to be fair, i think the ice is absolute dogwater. could see signs even the first 20 sec into the game when one of our guys went down with no one near him. lol.

I say the Avs PP is fixed and they have the worst PP they've had this month. Thanks Avs.

@DNVR_Rudo Avs playing like they want to play the wild in the first round.

@cmasisak22 Necas pretty much had a wide open net on the forehand and decided to cut to the backhand where Logan was coming from. Would've been a nice goal, but take the easy shot/opportunity.

Logan Thompson just made an incredible save on a Martin Necas backhanded attempt. Looked a bit like a scorpion kick save in real time.

@DNVR_Avalanche Avs playing like a hungover beer league team.

This definitely feels like a regular hockey game and not an early game with a lot of weirdness so far. Noooooo way this is a weirdly starting hockey game

@christian_bolle Best I can offer is a PK.

I would love to see a power play goal right now

Shockingly the #Avs PP overpasses, refuses to shoot and then takes a penalty. Just awful.

@ProducerDrew_ Can't blame Marner for both Vegas' goalies forgetting how to make a save.

Question for Golden Knights fans. Now that the season is essentially done…are you happy about the Marner signing? #VegasBorn Vegas is currently on pace for their worst points percentage finish in team history
