And another one tonight. Seguin gets a pinball puck in, but it’s waved off for contact on Samsonov by Marner created by Seguin. Stars challenge and get it overturned, saying Seguin had nothing to do with Marner running into the goalie.
Nicknamed the Sheriff, apparently. Is nothing sacred anymore?!?Xhekaj either. He beat Kassian up pretty handily
Phil scores the first goal of the gameKessel sets the iron man streak tonight. Against Toronto. I hope he pulls out a hot dog and starts eating it during the game. While wearing a ring on each of his middle fingers.
Well, he did until Toronto actually won a review for offsides.Phil scores the first goal of the game
If he finishes with over 1000 points I think that he has a good shot of getting in, and he’s at 958 as of today. There are only a handful of guys with over 1000 points that aren’t in, and add in the 2 cups, and the Ironman streak, I think he’ll be in if he can add another 50 points.A question I never thought I'd ask a few years ago, does Phil Kessel belong in the Hall of Fame?
West Virginia has one.The Knights have an early afternoon game Vegas time today (late afternoon/early evening ET), presumably because today is a holiday in Nevada. Never heard of "Nevada Day" until now. Also, I've never heard of any State having a holiday in honor of its becoming admitted to the Union.

They did this last year, starting 2-4-1 before ripping off 15 of their next 17. There does seem to be a little more tension up there than normal, however. Keefe's been butting heads with players and benched Marner last night in the 3rd.Another Leafs loss to one of those powerhouse California team. They have now lost to four contestants in the Bedard sweepstakes.
Did not know that -- thanks.West Virginia has one.

Yeah I know. Mathews is going to go on a tear at some point but they are leaking goals on D.They did this last year, starting 2-4-1 before ripping off 15 of their next 17.

It's always going to be a soap opera up there but nothing will matter in the regular season. It's the playoffs for them.
Yeah their D was a problem coming into the year plus they are dealing with injuries to Muzzin and Liljegren. Goaltending hasn't totally reared it's head yet but is also suspicious. Samsonov has played well but Murray had 1 disaster start before getting injured and Kallgren has an .875 through 3 appearances.Yeah I know. Mathews is going to go on a tear at some point but they are leaking goals on D.
They might be, but we should learn a lot about them in the next 3 games - vs PIT, at CAR, at TB. Although their 6-3 start has included a 4 game west coast swing. Cautiously optimistic. Their youngsters look really good and Tage Thompson is for real.Buffalo might actually be good.
