I was thinking about this yesterday too. I'm wondering if Kreider's just at the point where he's like "I don't care about the 82, just the 16". His effort was noticeably better in the last few games too. Still, what a fucking animal if that's the case. Nonchalantly scoring 38 goals? Cmon man!

The Panarin line is the single most dangerous line in the NHL. It's not even hyperbole - they've scored more goals than any single unit in the league. Part of that is consistency—I don't think they've been split up—but that's just a different level of danger and scoring than Panarin has ever had in his career. Ditto Lafreniere. Ditto Trocheck. In the same way we can look at Panarin's priors and say "hmm, that's concerning", we also need to look at the current reality and go "oh, that's also pretty different". This is the best version of Panarin we have ever seen. He's working with the best version of Lafreniere we've seen so far, and the best version of Trocheck we will probably ever see. Opposing teams should fear this line the way the Mackinnon line, the Kucherov line, or the McDavid line is feared. And the cool part about that is that if they do, we have the Zibanejad line ready to strike, and that third line isn't exactly bad either. They work hard. I'm perfectly fine with Trocheck as the "1C" and Zibanejad being a Selke-level 2C who puts up his .8 points/game. Fine by me.

Right now, Moneypuck has us at like 84% to make the second round and 14% to win the cup. I like those odds. Now, the other side of this...tonight, we root for Toronna. By tomorrow at 11 p.m., we could be one point from first in the East, and if the Sabres beat the Stars, potentially one point from the President's Trophy.

I think Kreider just killed Zac Jones

MIKA APRIL? MIKA APRIL!

I swear, Kreider will be skating around with the cup over his head, and some of you will yell about his victory lap technique.

HE IS RISEN

I believe that's called a deflection.

Chris Kreider scored a powerplay goal? Water is wet.

Hard to believe I'm even saying this, but the Sabres are right there too.

Guess you don't need to eat a hat tonight. Unfortunate really. I had a phenomenal recipe with harissa and a lemon beurre blanc.

Stream it.

Jesus titty fucking Christ Trouba

Does nobody realize that the chyrons are not on the broadcast?

Goodrow getting his hatty today

Sam has absolutely no idea his graphics guy is sleeping

This Barclay Goodrow game brought to you by the New York Lottery. Hey, you never know.

If you needed a sign to go take a risk and shoot your shot, Barclay Goodrow has 2 goals in one week. Thanks, Garden of Dreams.

Trivia is Terry Sawchuk

You know, usually, you get the tip before you get the Kak, but the Rangers reinvent the game.

Chris Kreider. King of the deflection. Big tipper.

hahaha brendan smith's a hooker

I don't believe you. Sam, can you chime in?

Don't look now but our Kakko has a 5 game point streak.

Trouba invisible tonight. Baby steps.
