They're missing RNH, but still that's dreadful. I honestly don't understand what all the hype was about. That has to be one of the worst collection of wingers in the entire league.

Not that this makes a big difference but I think the hype had to do with seeing Draisaitl as a winger, Maroon as being able to build on what he did last year and the idea that Puljujarvi might live up to his pedigree.

Carey Price has a concussion. Out indefinitely. Per Claude Julien.

He took a slapshot to the head in their last game. Dropped to the ice and took awhile to get back up. Didn't go through concussion protocol:

Seems like the way Price crumples to the ice in the immediate second after taking the puck to the head suggests, as taking a clean clap-bomb off the noggin typically should, that a concussion protocol was warranted. pic.twitter.com/MQ7QXc2NsE

An interesting first period enforcement of fan code of conduct.  A fan at the game was just told by security to put down his ā€˜Take Eugene Not Karlssonā€™ sign or it'd be confiscated.

Honestly, I'm just loving this season so much.

I've always liked Giroux. He reminds me of Marner if Marner was a centre. Glad he's bounced back this season.

Ottawa has placed Alex Burrows on waivers as well as Johnny Oduya

Haha literally a year + 2 days ago they traded a top prospect for him.

How do we replace JVR you ask?

If there's cap space left after Tavares I'd totally do that.

Pretty nice to see the Sabres absolutely stuffing* the Bruins right now.

* itā€™s 4-1 with 5 min to go. The Bruins have all the shots and none of the goals.

Was hit in the head with a puck during practice.

Patrice Bergeron out w/a fractured right foot. To be evaluated in 2 weeks - https://t.co/VuEtFIKuet

Would be a shame if they lost home-ice advantage in the playoffs because of this.

[CarltonTheBear]

The Flyers now lead the Metropolitan division. They lost 10 in a row early in the season. They are 26-8-3 since then.

Caps/Pens first round series would be fun.

I hope the Leafs continue to injure their way to the top!
