    Ovi's late surge now has him 50 off of the record.

    Four days later and he's now 46 behind. Keep this up and he sets the record next season

    That was a great win for the Caps, and Ovi seems to have a big spring in his step right now. I really thought the home loss to the Coyotes a few weeks ago was a death knell but they’ve been pretty good since they traded some dudes, especially Kuznetsov and Mantha. Huge game against Detroit Tuesday. You just never know in this league if you can actually make it to the tournament. No expectations but it would be nice to have playoff hockey to care about again.

    Avs coming coming back from a 4-0 deficit to beat Pittsburgh today was pretty epic.

    Preds on a 15-0-2 heater and still only going to be a wild card team.

    OT in Anaheim, the Ducks intercept a pass and get loose on a 3-0n-1 break. But Mason McTavish makes a blind drop pass to neither of his teammates. It goes goes right to the two Lightning players who were beaten up the ice. They turn it around for a 2-on-0 break and score the winning goal. Ducks coach Greg Cronin should outlaw blind drop passes. Cam Fowler is a bigger culprit than McTavish.

    Thank you ESPN+ for allowing me to watch Dylan Strome's OT winner against Detroit from the comfort of my Minneapolis hotel room. LFG!

    Suddenly, the analyst between the two benches isn't thinking he's got such a great seat.

    I’m thinking he thinks he has the best seat.

    The Kings Trevor Moore had a hat trick tonight and announcer Nick Nickson called him “The Raven.”

    I had never heard that nickname and wondered where it came from. Then I said his name aloud and got it.

    This one was actually kind of fun to watch, but for the most part the staged Rempe fights are really annoying me. That is now three games Matt Rempe has played against NJ. ... and three games he has been ejected from.

    NJ and Kurtis Macdermid rightfully had a problem with his elbow to Jonas Siegenthaler's head last time they played and his behavior on the way off the ice. Rempe had been a healthy scratch for a few games, but was back in the lineup for this, presumably to answer the bell so one of his teammates didn't have to. So everyone knew a fight was coming, that was the reason half the idiots in the stands were in the building.

    NJ put out its fourth line w/Macdermid to start the game, Laviolette answered with Rempe and the Rangers fourth line, and everyone was ready for the fight to get out of the way quickly when all the players on the ice dropped the gloves.

    The irony is that I thought Rempe got slapped around pretty good, but the other four Rangers held their own, particularly K'Andre Miller who is a big kid, but never fights and gets criticized by Rangers fans for not being physical enogh sometimes. He ragdolled John Marino behind where the camera was focussed. They kicked everyone except Jimmy Vesey and Curtis Lazar out of the game, which I thought was dumb, because technically their fights started after Vesey's fight.

    Hopefully they got that out of the way and they can get back to Rempe being a healthy scratch. He doesn't add enough to the team for this stupidity and if he's on the roster for the playoffs, it's a waste as far as I am concerned. But he's definitely a cult hero at the garden, so I am out of the mainstream on this one. The prior game when he was scratched they were doing "We want Rempe" chants.
