Watching Rangers-Caps 2-0 Shesterkin shutting out Caps so far. I don't like how high sticking penalties are called when guys kind of accidentally let the stick go high and it grazes the opponent. I realize you want to encourage guys to keep their sticks down and not use them like lacrosse sticks. But sometimes shit happens, and a guy flies into the boards, and his stick goes high and grazes someone. To me that's not a penalty on Kreider. Kreider says "oops, sorry!", and you play on. The referee should not penalize Kreider if he apologizes to the guy who was accidentally high sticked in a grazing manner.
It's not a penalty when someone shoots a puck like a missile and it hits someone in the face. And accidents like that do happen from time to time.That's also a shit happens situation.

ESPN studio guys are saying Benoit Allaire the Rangers goalie coach is one of the best in the business. He developed Lundqvist into a star and is doing same for Sheshterkin.
They are also saying Shesterkin is a possibility for Hart Trophy. I didn't realize goalies could win that Trophy.

Shesterkin just made a great save on a breakaway by Ovechkin!!
Chris Kreider has scored his 34th goal and with 30 games left 50 goals seems possible. He does his damage lurking in front of the net and waiting for rebounds and loose pucks he can jam into the net, and that is how he scored tonight.
4-0 now after goal by Goodrow assisted by Reaves, who has 6 hits!

Final score Rangers 4, Caps 1
Ovechkin with a late meaningless goal and Igor appeared furious to lose the shutout but 36 saves, .973 save %, Igor is now 25-5-3 on season. Player of the Game, AGAIN

Ovechkin: No More War

Russian star Ovechkin makes plea: 'No more war'
In his first comments following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Capitals star Alex Ovechkin -- who has been a vocal supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin over the years -- made a plea for "no more war," adding, "we have to live in peace."
If the habs were tanking they never would have got rid of Ducharme. With St-Louis at least they’re getting a better idea of what kind of team they actually have on their hands. But let’s not forget the fact many new coaches enjoy a brief honeymoon period when they take over a team. Maybe this is what’s happening or maybe it’s simply because the team is much healthier than it’s been all season.WOW...big wins yesterday by the HABS 5-4 on the FLAMES in ot....and ARI 2 COL 1......sorry but BOTH teams are not playing to lose...au contraire....and that's the way it should b
As for Arizona they may want to tank but they can’t expect the players & their coaches to cooperate. These are all proud professionals whose life depends on that paycheque they bring home with no guarantee it will be there in the future. By producing players bring up their value which means a better payday in the future. Same thing for the coaches. Look what happened to Ducharme. Plus they also love playing in the beautiful state of Arizona.
When a team is literally tanking the moves usually are made right at the top. Remember when the Leafs practically gave up their two best players in Kessel & Phaneuf? That’s how you tank. It also helps to get the head coach to cooperate & play mostly the younger players & the veteran backup goalie when he was just hired & signed to a long contract which made him the highest paid coach ever in hockey and told about the ‘plan’ while being interviewed.
If i can make a good guess i predict that the habs will end up picking fourth overall. But if any team wanted to ‘tank’ it’s next year that would be the right time with Connor Bedard entering the draft. However the way St-Louis has this team playing & the fact it’ll likely be a re-tool than a rebuild I doubt the habs will have any chance at drafting Bedard next season. They may actually squeeze into the playoffs next season.

There are some who believe that the habs may take a shot at signing Johnny Hockey during the offseason. He’ll likely be UFA & he’s a former client of Kent Hughes.I watched late CGY 4 COL 3....a win in ot by spectacular GAUDREAU......i knew it would b a good one...and it was.
