Bobby Ryan comes back to the Senators on his 100th day sober. Scores a hatty and gets in a scrap. Story book stuff. edit: 1st player in league history to record a hat trick and a fighting major in the same game. Super cool. That's another great story by Ryan. Shocked to hear of the other stat though?? Can't believe someone like Messier or Probert hasn't pulled off that trick! That truly is crazy!

If anyone hasn't read the SportsNet feature on his life growing up, you gotta read this. Warning: it's gut wrenching. It hasn't been easy, but the kid is doing his very best and I think he's become a great guy. www.sportsnet.ca/magazine/searching-for-bobby-ryan/

yeah that will seriously dampen NYR's late push! A far bigger blow than us missing McD for 6-7 games, don't think they'll be able to overcome it tbh

Cheering for the Leafs and Canucks to lose this game. Pretty sure I'll be unsatisfied.

Canucks, fLames, Wild, and Knights all playing today. Lames and Nucks on b2b.
Would love to see some regulation losses.

big day... IF the Flames and Nucks lose, I'll be a happy happy man lol, but the knights losing would be awesome for our chances to chase first in the division

Looks like Ralph Kruger is actually a bad NHL coach.

Maybe he kept some "water" from his time here and is passing it around in the dressing room??

Does anyone think that what's happening to Sabres is similar to what happened here? ie Eichel and other "young stars" have been given the keys to the kingdom and answer to no one? Trading O'reilly was a massive blunder also IMO. The comment about Kruger is an interesting one Fog, I remember his time here as doing "wonders" with the "young guns" initially, but then the wheels fell off towards the end of a shortened season and they collapsed in a heap! It sure sounds similar to what's happening there. I hope for Sabres sake they dont hire DE, because I'm not sure Sabre fans could handle that level of futility after a season like this.

Leafs fans are in meltdown mode after losing 3 in a row to the Sharks-Kings-Ducks. They got a point against LA, but that is a terrible trip at the worst possible time of year. Leafs have played 69 games but the teams chasing them have all played less. They look OK to get 3rd in the Atlantic but Florida is only 5 points back with 2 games in hand. If the Leafs don't get that 3rd spot, they'll drop right out of the playoffs. The Metropolitan teams battling for the Wild Card are better teams with more games left to play. Pretty crazy to watch.

O'Reilly basically said that he didn't want to play hockey anymore if he was going to be stuck in Buffalo. I think their biggest blunder has been Skinner at 9mil. Signing him at the hottest, unsustainable, point of his career. They've had a few draft busts, and are churning through coaches, so yeah there sure is some similarities.

Unfortunately Florida probably doesn't have enough to pass the Leafs. But I'm sure hoping they do.

Yeah, it's kind of odd to think that now looch is gone, Oilers don't really have any "Albatross" contracts to worry about. A few annoying buyouts but other than that no teeth-gnashing head scratchers

A few annoying buyouts but other than that no teeth-gnashing head scratchers I think James Neal can easily be considered an albatross contract. Factor in the 12.5% retention on Lucic's salary, and it gets even worse, puts it handily over 6 million. Lots of PP goals but that's one ugly +- It's not as bad as Lucic's was by a long shot, but it's bad in it's own right
