Vasilevsky is already dominating the AHL. They have good depth at the position now.

Is he ready though? Saw where he only gave up 1 goal in 3 games.

was just named AHL player of the week.

seems like he could be called up if Bishop is out for awhile. Nabokov is terrible.

Yea I imagine it's not easy but they haven't exactly hit on the backup goalies. Nabokov and Lindbach. :X

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Sabres refuse to lose. Enroth unbeatable in shootouts.

 

[Northern Voice]

Firing Krueger was a mistake for the OIlers.

Jackets have won 6 straight as well, they and the Sabres are really leaving Carolina and Edmonton for McDavid right now, and I really don't want to see him on either of those teams (or Arizona, who's 3rd worst).

The Leafs are the best offense in the NHL (goals per game) right now...

Taylor Hall is un-coachable,interesting timing for this to come out right after Eakins gets canned.Said to be on the trading block now.

trading Myers in a package for Hall might get this tanking project in Buffalo back on track.

 

[Barry]

Trouba is out til February. the Jets 3 best defensmen are injured. the Sabre tank may have to wait another game.

Sounds like the KHL is in deep trouble(a few teams are at least)

James Mirtle @mirtle ·

What's going on in the KHL right now is pretty unbelievable. There's talk they'll have crisis meetings this week.

James Mirtle @mirtle

Three KHL teams may fold due to monetary issues related to crashing ruble and Russian economy. Some coaches haven't been paid anything.

James Mirtle @mirtle ·

A lot of teams are having payroll issues with players, too. I've heard from a couple; if others are out there, contact me via DM.

James Mirtle @mirtle ·

Don't know exactly which teams are distressed enough to bow out of KHL but best guesses are Atlant, Bratislava and Riga. Major pain there.

James Mirtle @mirtle ·

Multiple sources confirming players on those three KHL teams haven't been paid this season: "Roughly one-third of KHL has serious problems."

James Mirtle @mirtle

Some agents say they've protected their KHL players' contracts from currency devaluation. But if teams don't have the money, then what?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

that league has been a disaster waiting to happen for years. they don't make any money so not sure why they thought it was sustainable long-term.

 

[Foosball God]

Yeah, they were handing out ridiculous contracts. I'm surprised it has taken this long honestly.

Certainly would make filling the rosters of a few new NHL franchises a little easier if it did fold.

they try to compete with NHL salaries while playing games in front of college hockey sized crowds.

#tblightning Cooper said starting goaltender tonight will be game-time decision. I wouldn't be surprised if Vasilevskiy gets the nod

Joe Smith @TBTimes_JSmith · 2h 2 hours ago

#tblightning Cooper said Bishop is day-to-day, he could return this weekend.

Anyone in the KHL capable of making a difference in the NHL?

Radulov and Kovalchuk dominating. Interesting PIM stats for Radulov.

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/llead.php?mode=points&league=KHL

although if Cheechoo is putting up more than a PPG, all numbers are suspect.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Wish we had Sobotka back.

I think I heard that Kovalchuk needs almost unanimous approval from all owners to get back in....something like that

 

[AcerFC]

I think the Rangers have some guy in the KHL putting up points. Not sure of his name though

Epix Road to the Winter Classic starts tonight. If nobody gets the network, will anybody see it?

Go Hawks!

wut? Damn that sucks

 

[Zegras11]

Bryz is back

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

I hate playing the Kings

 

[chet]

Hawks looking good. They've been handling the Wild for most of the second.

 

[Christo]

Hossa!

 

[Christo]

Even Pat Foley's banging on the Bears.

 

[chet]

Anyone have an opinion on whether Alec Martinez or Nick Leddy will be the better fantasy dman for the rest of the year?

Roto: G, A, Pts, PIMs. +/-

 

[chet]

Leafs beating up the Ducks. Nice to see.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Babcock has to get to a point where he uses the other goalie in a shootout right? oof

Terrible loss of a point, can't beat Florida or Columbus.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

GB stopping this ridiculous winning streak.

 

[Don Quixote]

Caps-Panthers shootout is ridiculous right now. Up to 20 rounds now.

[Bill Brasky]

hfs, that was the craziest shootout I've ever seen. Florida should get two extra points for that.

 

[Brady Marino]

I hate playing the Kings

Tarasenko, #####es.

GB stopping this ridiculous winning streak.

I needed the win for Pavelec.

Who would you take? Leddy or Marinez?

 

[Zegras11]

Turned on the Blues game and 3 goals for Blues in a few minutes

I haven't looked at their stats, but probably prefer Leddy. Kings offense seems weak again.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

silky mitts from Nino on the penalty shot.

@strombone1 53s54 seconds ago
I blacked out what just happened???

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Still hate playing the Kings.

Also, I have to give Dr. Detroit some credit. I think you might start hearing murmurs of Shattenkirk getting some Norris consideration. Not that he should win it, but that he should be in the conversation. He's having a really good year.
