#exposforever Jack Johnson’s goalless drought ended at 159 games last night. Courtesy @EliasSports the longest active goalless streaks in the NHL:
Nathan Beaulieu 105  
Niko Mikkola        104      
Ryan Murray         103      
Patrik Nemeth       87    
Mark Borowiecki  86 I may or may not have been aware of the latest @rayferrarotsn mishap when I sent the earlier tweet. @DarrenDreger I’m getting concerned that I am starting to channel @rayferrarotsn . Last night I didn’t know what time the game started and two weeks ago I forgot my laptop on a plane. If I am unabl...

@succession @CraveCanada https://t.co/UlRpZUlGEQ Darryl Sutter used to mock the NHL’s “loser point”, but if the Flames make the playoffs, their league leading 21 OT/SO games will be a major factor, despite Calgary having a 6-15 record. The Flames are only two points behind the Jets despite having seven fewer wins. htt...

Toronto 6 2nd Atl This made me laugh. While sitting out a 90 minute delay tonight at @TorontoPearson Happy 75th birthday to the one and only Bobby Orr. https://t.co/plBhdKvWtb Sláinte.
#StPatricksDay2023 Be nice @gtconway3d, or we’ll set the White House on fire again like we did in 1814. @thatgirlkristyn @JulioHashem I’m gonna sit this one out 😂 Never play pool or cards for money against someone whose nickname is a city or a state. The only thing left from the old arena is the roof. https://t.co/Uis...
-an LTIR contract can’t count against the cap if the player was not playing for that team.
-a player on LTIR cannot be traded if he was not playing for that team. For Canadian fans planning to go to Gothenburg, tickets will need to be purchased here. The Canadian tour operator, Destiny Tours, has sold out its’ inventory and has several hundred people on a waiting list. @melanie_korach Unkindness is rampant ...
I love Chicago…my only disappointment this morning is that one of my favourite diners anywhere, @LouMitchells, isn’t open on Mondays. The package clocked in at a whopping 2 minutes and 45 seconds, leading a bemused weekend sportscaster (the late Peter Watts) to crack; “Did you leave the national anthem in? This needs ...

https://t.co/XWDX0N8woY The Ukrainian Hockey Tour was a remarkable experience for everyone involved. The story behind it is even more compelling…and difficult. Count me in. Maybe I wasn’t reading too much into it last week after all. By the way, Horvat explained his choice of #14, as #53 was taken.
4+1=5
4-1=3
Horvat wore #53 in honour of G Ian Jenkins, a fellow London Knights OHL draft pick who was killed in an accident in 2011 (Jenkins wore #35) Bingo, much the same as the Pageau deal, Lamoriello gives up a lot for a pending UFA and then quickly gets deal done. Bronco Horvath. Got my Special Olympics donut today at my loc...
Players don’t get hurt by spending too much time in junior, college, the AHL or Europe. Being a dominant player every night is difficult, and this kind of development builds a foundation for the future. https://t.co/OaajY9Qjqf Shane Wright’s first seven games with Windsor in the OHL. https://t.co/5PbXwMN4lz In Canada ...
-no facial hair (except the in playoffs)
-no long hair (past the collar)
-no jewelry (necklaces/earrings)
-jackets/ties must be worn to games and on the team bus/plane
-no broadcasters/media permitted on the team charter (including team broadcasters) Among the many #LousRules from Lou Lamoriello (although this one has some wiggle room): he doesn’t like numbers higher than 40. Two exceptions: Casey Cizikas (#53) pre-dates Lamoriello with the Islanders, Jean-Gabriel Pageau (#44) was a...

ANA .357 Keys are in the mailbox, shovel’s in the shed. @clahanna Twitter has some very odd ideas about what’s “For Me.” Interesting note from Canadian Hockey League president Dan McKenzie at the Top Prospects game: this year, more than 1,000 former players are enrolled in the CHL scholarship program, which provid...
Sent with @NHL https://t.co/ALJ7PLgNYi @Buccigross Criminal. Since there has been so much interest in this, here is the Leafs entire pronunciation guide from their game notes package. (Of note: it doesn’t reflect Ilya Samsonov asking for SAM-son-awv) instead of sam-SAWN-awv). https://t.co/D4SwJeZKHl My Toronto-Washingt...
Almost as good as Dave McLlwain playing in all four NHL divisions in 1991/92 (and to my knowledge being the only player in NHL history with five straight consonants in his last name). Getting ready for Jets/Leafs on TSN4 in the Leafs region tonight. Toronto’s Dryden Hunt scored his first as a Leaf on Tuesday, giving hi...
East: 95 points
West: 93 points
To make it in the east, Florida would have to go the equivalent of 24-12. In the west, Colorado needs the equivalent of 23-17. 1. Ivan Provorov had the right to refuse to participate in the Pride Night activities in Philadelphia.
2. The Flyers should have responded by not allowing him to play in the game.
3. Freedom of expression doesn’t give you freedom from the consequences of your words or actions. It’s also quite possible that some of these players agree to extensions with their current teamsat a number below the amount of the Qualifying Offer, but like Tkachuk, the player has the leverage in this scenario. If any o...
