Second line gets their goal for February. Nice one, too.

I honestly don’t see why anyone would care.

Nice. We’ve hit our quota early to lose 3-2 in OT.

Something about that head movement made me think he was gonna whip it over. Of course I’m not quite NHL caliber.

Broadcast says that we are the best face-off % team in the league, so that’s nice, especially considering that last season we couldn’t win a single draw in our zone during the last five minutes of every game LOL.

I think it’s one of the most underrated stats, although Todd disagrees.

I think starting with the puck in more critical situations adds up.

It’s the open mouthed breathing and dead eyes. Goalie has no idea what’s going on up there, and neither does Benn.

Chicago looks like a team properly tanking.

Honestly for about the first 8 minutes they outplayed us. And Kane had some nice things happen.

Really hoping that Gurianov finally scores again so that the Hawks can leave with him.

The Stars were also among the best faceoff teams last season. Even in the playoffs, they finished with a 52.4% faceoff percentage against the Flames.

I think faceoff wins are a nice bonus but not that massive advantage.

Faceoff wins are massively overhyped by teams, but they do matter.

You could argue it did help us keep a series close where the talent disparity was huge.

If we score 4 more unanswered goals, I say put in Hinojosa.

And winning faceoffs allows you to sign a decent deal and being untradeable.

TNT is advertising running both True Blood and Silicon Valley. Are these unedited? Seems like both shows edited to be PG would be difficult to watch.

As a Canadian, is TNT the network that is always showing Bird On a Wire, or is that TBS?

You’re behind on the times. It’s Shawshank Redemption about ten times a week.

TBS I think. TBS makes TNT seem decent by comparison.
