Friday Thoughts… And Winner of Best Pizza
Three nights of NHL hockey have created some extremely early observations. Let’s dig in. — Last night, in nine games, teams averaged 4.1 goals/game. Teams scored 74 goals and collectively they were 30.9% on the powerplay. Through 16 games teams have scored 33 goals on 124 opportunities for an average of 26.6% efficiency. Very few teams will be able to compete in the regular season without a very good powerplay. — It is the main reason why the Canadiens will miss the playoffs. Their PP wa

WWYDW(FE): Keep McDrai Together, Or Keep Them Apart
Over the offseason, a big point of conversation was how much the newly-signed Zach Hyman could produce playing alongside Connor McDavid. Hyman was a fan favourite in Toronto. He went from being a middling prospect to earning a depth role on the Maple Leafs to becoming a major contributor in the team’s top-six.
