Penalty Minutes Leaders

In the quest to become Penalty Minutes King of the NHL, Tommy Wilson and Michael Haley are staging a wonderful battle for that crown:

In case you are wondering the NHL season record for penalty minutes is 472 by Dave Schultz in 1974-75, and neither guy is anywhere close to that pace. The Schultz record will probably never be broken.

..and what about those Flames....7th win in a row....little Johnny is great and what a duo with Monahan......Smith is doing a heck of a job in the net.....BRAVO......Good coaching also.

I can imagine the birthday party they had for McDavid after the win in Vegas.

AVS...7th straight win and Bernier is doing great with his 6th straight win......me surprennent vraiment cette année....McKINNON est en mission....quel talent.......

Another big night for Vegas....4-1 on Tampa Bay......and also for the AVS.....McKinnon and Bernier are on fire.......

Another big win for the AVS.... 3-1 vs Rangers.......again MacKinnon with 2 pts......and autre victoire pour Bernier.....great. Varlamov risque de trouver le temps long!!!

...et Colorado with 55 pts a plus de pts que toute la saison dernière ....quand même remarquable. Et avez vous le but de Subban ce soir....wow...comme on dit toute une garnotte...comme lui seul en est capable.

ATTENTION....you know what? Vegas is alone at top in NHL with 66 pts---31-11-4--- one point in front of TBay....wow...what a spectacular performance.....BRAVO.

If Vegas wins the cup........ Fucking amazing. GEO, only team to beat them twice, too bad they suck with most other teams..

Not sure about the Cup BUT being in playoffs will b already quite an accomplishment...

Avalanche....10th straight victory and Bernier has won nine games in a row.......in town tonight.

Good night of hockey yesterday. Habs won et les Bruins demeurent l'équipe de l'heure...wow. ...Vegas won too...incroyable. I watched TBay 4 Preds 3....a playoff game et des buts-canon again by Subban and Stamkos.....and what about Radulov...2 goals 1 assist....et un but de toute beauté en échappée...wow wow wow.
A very entertaining night.

...entertaining BUT not for the Oilers...5-0 Buffalo......what the f.....is going on....han STN?

Yup..... A shitty night.... shitty season..again. Still a glimmer of " hope " but fading fast.

Oilers-Flames....what a shame...Oliers should have won in o/t....not in s/o.....very bad decision to refuse a goal on a spectacular play by McDavid. At least they won in s/o BUT still........

Again Subban on fire...2 pts yesterday dont un autre but-canon.....his third in 3 consecutive games....

..and Subban leads Preds with 37 pts....that's something....

Yup, the GEO had to win twice last night
