Sindy started another 20 game playoff streak without a goal, tonight.

He played well, albeit without a goal...

Rang one off the post in the 2nd I believe, Lundqvist made a great save in the 3rd...

Rangers are really good this year

They don't count ones off the posts as shots...strange. But a dump in to the goalie when all they really want is a face-off is a shot

[Romeo Delight]

what's really interesting is to see the power shift...when was the last time so much talent was in the West.

Calgary is going to be really good. Edmonton cant keep losing...this has to hit soon with McDavid here essentially for at least 5 years. And the Canucks are looking good for the future with Benning at the helm.

They have two first rounders from last year that are cant miss prospects.

Coming over the Rocky mountains is going to be quite the roadtrip in the next 5 years and beyond...

The Leafs might make the playoffs in 10...that's not a shift though...just status quo

I'm talking about the ECHL affiliate, not the AHL.

oh man...you have to have a relative playing for them or be a degenerate gambler to follow the ECHL that closely.

Its good hockey but the American league is really an excellent league and is pretty telling on who can cut it in the NHL.

Hard to believe but some teams share affiliates and so don't even have their players playing in the system they need to be working on

That was a nice tackle Sindy made on that goal. It should have been waved off. Of course, the refs turned the other cheek.

That was a dumb penalty by the Jets, right after giving up a goal.

I follow the ECHL because the tickets are cheap and I live close to a nearby team. Front-row seats only cost $20.

The Oilers have already started to clean house...Hired the former head of Hockey Canada Nicholson as their CEO...bet you anything this is where Gretzky males his return to the NHL as GM or President.

Its coming...trust me. New stadium, new leadership, new hope and a fresh regime

You are living proof that fans see what they want to see....

That dude from the Rangers was holding onto him for like 10 seconds....
