And playing well. And winning.

Total domination so far.

So you are saying @Spoofin played 1B in baseball, but C in softball? In my experience, fitness/food intake-challenged folks fit well at 3B in softball too- you barely have time to move. Just take it off the nuts, pick it up, throw him out. @Spoofin likely gets time there as well.

With apologies to Mats Zucarello, we always scream out: “LOOSE NUT!!!!!” Never been shushed once though.

They would never do my idea of a chaser, because it would lead to collisions. Your idea is the only viable idea. It still wouldn't be anything like real hockey. :(

You could also go back to 4 on 4. That would help make it less arcade-y. But also make it more difficult to score, leading to more shootouts. And those totally blow. In the shootout, I would add a defending chaser that starts at the far blue line - both players start when the whistle blows...

It’s not an arcade game. It’s still hockey. But they should try to figure a way to eliminate all the circling. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion and I understand where you are coming from.

I don’t agree and don’t think “purists” agree with that - ties suck. I just wish they would make a rule that you cannot have possession of the puck, then purposely retreat from the attacking zone all the way over the center red line. I think that should be a turnover given to the other team...

Because ties are boring and stupid to boot.

Yep. Professional hockey is an absolute grind. You can’t take a shift off. I think back-to-backs with your rule would be practically impossible. I would say no home-away back-to-backs.

The Predators have some pretty talented players and were supposed to be much better. The Wild appeared a little gassed, but I think slogged through it and got the job done - in large part thanks to another terrific game by Gus. Nice game by Foligno and, as usual, KK buzzed all over the place...

Thanks for the information. Maybe this is the first of a few moves and we will get some draft stock back? I just don't like all those high draft picks. FWIW, TSN gave the Wild an A and Columbus a B-...

Weird move, on the surface. Will start in Iowa. Gave up a haul of draft choices. This guy better be a stud.

I’m not certain how the rule works. It’s a race to the face off dot. But it’s unclear to me how it works if the puck rebounds beyond the dot. Which it did.

To be fair, missing Zuc and Khusnutdinov hurts us pretty bad. Wild came out on fire and had half a dozen grade A scoring chances early. Play leveled off, then the second half of the game tilted towards the Jets. Still, the Wild generated ton of shots and good chances. Game easily could have gone...

That’s great. Need more production from him. I would trade him, if they could get something in return. Bad contract. Good locker room guy, yes. Need more production.

If you are underestimating or giving Guerin no credit for getting Kaprizov back on US soil without incident the past couple years, you haven’t been paying attention. He won’t talk much about it, but I’m betting he was critical to the process.

He plays as a first liner now when the other team has an empty net. I feel like he never did under Dean Evason. I couldn’t figure out why. He’s incredibly good along the boards where a lot of the 6-on-5 action takes place. He aggressively tries to score goals and has the skill to make them...

Shot attempts far too lopsided. But yes, our key players looked good. Can’t say I understand the goalie situation though. Love Fleury, but he’s a short-timer and blocking the long term plan.
