Quite the barn burner in Canes vs Avs tonight

Edit: he has already seen 7 goals go past him, and now Andersen is down and getting a visit from the trainer. A very innocuous shift from right to left looked super awkward and he just looked like something really popped when forced to make a point blank save shortly after. Looks like left groin from afar. Raanta in for relief.

I see that Freddie had given up 7 goals BEFORE that injury. What the hell was Brind'amour thinking not pulling him at some point earlier in the game?

Congrats and please enjoy retirement and maybe convince Graham to join you

The Canes were mostly only 2 goals back, so with their pop and Avs goaltending, there was still a chance.

Rested Panthers playing Detroit on a back-to-back tonight. Bets on how many Florida scores?

Over/Under is 7 and I'd wager expectations are that breaks down as 5-2.

I heard it a day or two ago and forget the exact number, but Detroit has given up 7+ goals a shocking number of times this year. I could easily see Florida adding to that number tonight.

Was curious and this was easy enough to check so:

11 GA x1 (Florida)
10 GA x1 (Toronto)
9 GA x1 (Arizona)
8 GA x1 (Chicago)
7 GA x5
6 GA x4
5 GA x16

6-1 final tonight. Detroit kept them from 7!

Gonna be interesting to see how Carolina finishes the season. The Rangers had already caught up to them in points (tied at 104 with Carolina having 1 extra regulation win for the tiebreaker). And if Freddie misses most if not all of the rest of the season they could very well get bumped out of that top spot in the Metro which I'm pretty sure they've held all season long.

Vegas also lost to one of the worst teams in the league (New Jersey) with Andrew Hammond in net for them despite needing almost every point they can get to squeak back into the playoffs at this point.

With both them and LA struggling right now that actually opens the door just a little bit for Vancouver to still be alive in the garbage Pacific division.

The Pacific Division Garbage Patch is quite the phenomenon, and I wonder if there will be analysis of the confluence of events/situations that have led to the dissolution of what was once a powerhouse division. The nadirs of the three California-based teams arms race in the late 2000s/early 2010s + the two expansions? Very late recognition of turnover time as they've all saddled themselves with big ticket/playoff reward contracts to aging stars?
 
So that being said is Calgary?s record not as impressive as it looks? Because of all the teams in the west, they are the only one that seem scary.

Ryan Ellis has played just 4 games this season, has been injured since mid-November, and the Flyers don't even know what's wrong with him? He hasn't had any surgery and the they're just hoping he feels better eventually? What?
 
If you're the Bruins/Lightning, does it not make sense to try to stick the wildcard slot and test your luck against the Metro division, where their top dogs have either a broken starting goaltender or are very old or is NYR running on sv%? rather than running a gauntlet of Toronto then Florida?
