If Jets win tonight against Calgary should be a lock for final playoff spot and play Vegas in the first round.

I will be watching my first full Flames game this year tonight as it should be a gooder.

Vegas is going to lose to the Jets.

Canadian cities have major disadvantages due to cold weather and higher taxes, but it seems many players don't take into consideration safety and livability.
Right now the NMC puts certain teams (mainly Canadian ones with the possible exception of Toronto, as well as Buffalo) at a bit of a competitive disadvantage.

I feel like there should be at least some limitation on the use of NMC, i.e. limit each city to 50 or 75 or whatever reasonable number NMCs determined on seniority, or limit them to players with at least 7 or 8 years of experience, etc. Right now it's fairly one sided if players can unilaterally determine that they won't play for a quarter of the league without limitation.

I was not talking about religion. The NHL has gone downhill in a huge way since it became pussyfied! Starting with the Don Cherry saga. Hockey was a man's game before!

This bullshit with the alphabet people as Dave Chappelle calls it! It is just ridiculous pushing this shit on normal Canadian hockey fans it is just stupid! These so called alphabet people are raised by single mothers and are mostly mental health issues.

I am not against your preferences just do not push them on others!

Most hockey players are real men and do not wish to be bothered with this bullshit!

I always thought Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was under-rated as a player nice to see him having a career year!

He is a great two-way player and is at 99pts now...

I always felt he was a diamond in the rough! He is kind of over looked and under valued but is extremely reliable. He is third on the team so often over looked. That is why I was always a Steve Yzerman fan even when Gretzky and Lemieux were getting the attention. I respected the quiet leader with heart more than the acclaim.

You understand they are not doing this for wanting to do this! They are doing this because they are told to do so! They are simple puppets. It takes a great man to stand up for his beliefs! Like the players I have mentioned, they have a heart and soul! Not like the Calgary flamers!

Jets choke again against Calgary looks like a race to the finish for last playoff spot for these 2 flawed teams.

NUGE with 100pts! Impressive to see three players with over 100 on one team. I believe the last was Pittsburg.

The Oil within 1 point of catching Vegas (game in hand).

This should be a fun last few games for the top and bottom of the race.

3-1, 3-1, 6-0, 2-0

I don't think I've ever seen Edmonton give up 2 goals over 4 games before.

Congratulations to Nugent-Hopkins on 100 points.

Yeah, that's a sign that they are keeping things clear in front and clearing rebounds away. It's pretty much everything I complain about that they are addressing.

And the Arizona Coyotes are suing the city for $2.3 billion.

Hope you like the black eye board of governors. You could have been out of that dreamland of positive narkrting for the NHL more than a few times now.
