• 11 +/- games into new season, I have a question for all you hockey fans.
  
  How do you like North Division?

For this year I like it. Beyond this year, no thanks. Obviously it's an absolute necessity this year and it is nice to see the all-Canadian matchups. One year is enough though.

If the Canucks keep playing like crap I will not be watching much hockey. lol

OV is 182 (183 to beat) goals away from matching WG, the league needs to go back to 82 game season. It’s doable for OV


Total points I don’t think anyone will beat WG 2,857 points.

btw... Patrick Marleau could surpass Gordie Howe with most games played.
Gordie 1,767
Patrick 1,740 (currently)

The amazing thing about Patty Marleau is that he missed the entire 2005 season from a lockout, missed half a season in 2013 from another lockout, and now two seasons shortened by Covid, and still, he has played more games than anyone in NHL history at the same age (Messier was 42 when he played this many and Gordie Howe was 51).

BTW, no 23 year old in NHL history played as many games as Trevor Linden...

Hard to keep a dry eye through this one...

Ovechkin moves past Phil Esposito for 6th all time...

My lord are the buffalo sabres ever bad

Best way to have good shot at #1 draft pick. Of course doesn’t guarantee top team i.e Edmonton after numerous #1 picks.

Only 1 northern division team will head south for Lord Stanley’s Mug.

Top goal scorer on each NHL team, plus every other player who has scored 250 goals or more with the same club.
