2024-25 NHL regular season thread

Scary situation in the Blues game last night - Dylan Holloway had a shot glance off the side of his neck, but he finished off his shift and went to the bench. As he got near the bench, he kind of bent his head in the direction of where the puck hit him.

Apparently something further happened when he was on the bench - the game was in a stoppage, and the trainer was holding his head completely still. Medical personnel from both teams came in, both teams left their benches, and they brought in a stretcher to take him off the bench. Was taken to the hospital right away in an ambulance.

Reports this morning are that he's going to be OK, but seeing no more details: MSN

The Blues also had Jay Bouwmeester go into cardiac arrest on the bench in Anaheim in 2020. I retain vivid memories of Ryan Getzlaf picking up the bench and moving it out of the way so emergency personnel could have better access to Bouwmeester.

And Chris Pronger was playing for the Blues when he was hit in the chest with a shot and went into cardiac arrest back in the day.

Really surprising there aren't more injuries from things like that in hockey.

Rich Peverly with the Stars collapsed on the bench and had to be revived with a defibrillator.

Connor McMichael may actually be a monster

Alas, this will probably be the Sharks' o ly goal tonight.

Winnipeg leads Dallas 4-0 midway through the second.
Detroit TV's Ken Daniels described the Jets this way a few games back:
"They seem like they're on the power play even when they're not."

Geez, Wings out-shoot Rangers 37-24 but lose 4-0.
The Wings don't hardly out-shoot anybody but their penalty kill is terrible.
Husso, on recall from Grand Rapids, was OK.
EDIT: 37-20, conflicting stats posted by Wings TV.

Ovechkin with goals 9 and 10 to get to 863. He's on pace for 58 goals this season. That won't last, but there's a real chance he catches Gretzky this year now. Needs 32 more with 68 to play. The Caps are a fun watch right now.

First game I watched this year. Wings had at least three shots go off the pipes and the Rangers goalie was out of his mind.

Two bad giveaways behind the net led to two New York goals right at the end of the second period.

Oh yeah, that was old man Jon Quick. Those dings to which you refer had to be frustrating. It was here.

14-1 Jets about to get going versus Rangers at MSG.
EDIT: LOL, Winny scores a couple of minutes in.

Jets already up 1-0.

Lars Eller back with the Caps after a trade with the Penguins, a third in 2027 and a fifth in 2025. Center depth can't hurt. Welcome home, bud.
