    Quickly approaching the half way mark of the season and one of the biggest surprises to me is that the Blue Jackets are in the thick of things in the Bedard sweepstakes. Didn’t see that one coming. By the end of January I think we will have a good idea of where the Wild fit into the play off picture.

    Monday of the holiday hangover is a good day to watch some WJC. If you don’t have to work that is.

    Liam Ohgren being named an Sweden alternate captain as an 18 year old is pretty impressive. He’ll definitely get a chance to show his offensive skill playing with Fabian Lysell…He’s been playing center sofar in game 1.

    Its just not fair that the Devils have BOTH Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec in their prospect pool…unreal players

    Lane Hutson is so fun to watch, looks like he grew a few inches since the draft too!

    Foligno not making the trip to Winnipeg. Just can’t keep the GREEF line on the ice this season.

    Beckman and Walker called up for Foligno and Shaw

    These are the ugliest USA Hockey jerseys I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s the Chipotle logos everywhere putting a bad taste in my mouth, but yuck.

    Every time I watch David Spacek play he’s one of the best defensemen on the ice, he could turn into one of those late round draft picks that has a long NHL career. Great find by Judd and the boys!

    LOL at Canada – listening to their color guy whine and cry the last half of the game was hilarious. I’m sure they’ll bounce back but take Connor Bedard away and that team doesn’t make the medal round. They’re that bad and he is that good.

    People are probably losing their minds up North today.

    I find it odd that a guy whose played NHL games is playing in this tourney but whatever. US turned it on late close through 2 periods. This is one of the deeper US teams I think. Some interesting stories where some of the US players are from. Not usual hockey hotbeds.

    It’s not really out of the norm, Kirby Dach was going to play in the WJC after playing a full NHL season the year before. I wish more NHLers would be allowed to play so that it’s truly a best on best tournament. The sad thing about Wright is he didn’t even stand out.

    Like who? It’s funny how there’s NHL stars and top prospects born in Phoenix/Scottsdale and every one of them was born there because their dad was playing for the Coyotes jester

    One of the US goalie’s dad is from like Kenya and was a soccer player. Obviously the kid was born here but there are 2 others from somewhere I never heard of a hockey player coming from. I’ll have to look it up. One kid from Fort Myers and another from Estero Florida with a couple from AZ which isn’t surprising anymore.

    Foligno to IR and Middleton out tonight too. Hoping they are just adding to the Xmas break to get a couple guys patched up?

    Middleton is just sick, but Foligno is going to be out longer than expected…

    Nice start!

    Hartman takes some of the dumbest penalties I’ve ever seen….

    I think Boldy is the only wild player to win a faceoff.

    That was a dirty saucer pass over the defender’s leg by Zuccarello to Gaudreau.

    I worry he’s playing himself right into a higher pay scale and/or a starting position somewhere else. The dude has been good.

    So is the goalie carousel…look how many goalies move every year…most important position and some teams can figure it out.

    Isn’t this your hope when any team makes this trade? Or do you hope he kinda sucks so you can bring him back another year or 3 on the cheap?

    PLD is such a twat. Guy is constantly starting stuff behind the play and for some reason never gets called or is a coincidental if they do call it.
