NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

Admittedly, it was great for my team to play the Canucks 9 times.

6-0-3, 15pts out of 18 this year.
14-0-4 since 2015.
Vancouver hasn't won in regulation in Montreal in 14 years.

But yeah, it was starting to get repetitive. But I'll take hockey over a COVID pause.
You're welcome for that. We had such an awful start to the year, and somehow we are still within striking distance of the playoffs. (Despite us playing way more games than everyone else, which will hurt our chances down the stretch.)
 
The Canadian government is poised to approve a seven-day quarantine period with extra testing for NHL players who are traded from American to Canadian clubs prior to the April 12 deadline, a source told CBC News.

All provinces with NHL teams have approved the measures, according to CBC.

Those crossing the U.S.-Canada border are required to quarantine for 14 days once they enter Canada.


The current two-week quarantine requirement makes it difficult for the seven Canadian teams to trade for players on U.S. clubs.

The Winnipeg Jets acquired forward Pierre-Luc Dubois from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jan. 23, but the 22-year-old wasn't able to play his first game for the club until Feb. 9.

Sometimes you have one of these matchups that you just completely own for no apparent reason. The fucking Sens are always putting a number on us, for example.

Or like the Sens' mastery of the Flames, but they can't beat the Oilers to save their lives 🤷‍♂️

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby recorded his 1,300th-career point Thursday after registering three assists against the Buffalo Sabres.

Crosby is the eighth-fastest player to reach the milestone, putting him in elite company.


Everyone in the list's top 10 except Crosby and Jaromir Jagr - who's not yet eligible - is a Hall of Famer.


"It's a nice number," Crosby said postgame. "I wasn't thinking about it at the time. Tonight was a big game and we were just focused on getting a win. ... I guess it's a sign I've been playing for a pretty long time, too. It's always nice to get those milestones."

Crosby's longtime rival, Alex Ovechkin, reached the 1,300-point mark March 16 in his 1,177th career game.
 
Not sure who has Rask but take note

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will miss both of the club's games this weekend due to an upper-body injury, head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed Friday, according to NHL.com's Amalie Benjamin.

Rask was hurt in Thursday's loss to the New York Islanders. He played the first period but was unable to return after the intermission.

"Hopefully there's (nothing) major there, but obviously something's going on where he had to leave the game again with a similar injury the last time," Cassidy said.


Rask's start versus New York was his first since March 7 due to a previous injury.

The 34-year-old has appeared in 15 games in 2021, posting eight wins with a .907 save percentage.

Boston plays the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon before hosting the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. The Bruins currently sit fourth in the East Division but hold games in hand on every team ahead or behind them in the standings.
