Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Homepage, Schedule & Results, League Save File

Checked all the lines, etc, saved, did the sim, entered the one suspension, reloaded, and realized I hadn't saved post-sim.

Remember kids, don't sim at 1am

I was going to say that we lost a Flyers-Ducks line-brawl that included all 12 players receiving game misconducts, rather than the usual 8 or 10, but apparently they really don't get along because they almost did the same thing again (just 10 this time), at pretty much the same time (around 52min), but added a Bode Wilde OT attempt to injure and game misconduct. Mark Alt is out 5 months, so Wilde gets what I believe is an 8 game suspension (the rules have a gap between 4 months and 6+?), up from 3 applied by the game.

I might add more on the other games once I wake up, or I might not.

Ex Flyer Bode wilde can go …. Himself

Did not expect Klingberg to contribute this much offence in Florida, wow.

Extra practices please, If those are still a thing

Not.....a good start.

Okay, here's my write up on the night's 11 games.

The night started with a penalty filled affair in Boston as the home team took 8 minors but didn't allow a single powerplay goal and pulled out a 3-2 overtime victory. Boston is now 2-2-0-1, while Washington drops to 2-4-1-0.

I don't think there's much to say about Colorado-San Jose, neither goalie played that well, no one player had that great a game. It was back and forth, each team holding the lead twice before Brady Tkachuk scored the winner, while an empty net goal sealed the 6-4 victory for San Jose. The Sharks move up to 3-1-1-0 on the season, while Colorado sit at 2-4-0-1.

The futility continues in Detroit as my wings fall 4-2 to the Flames in Tyler Parsons' first start for the team. Parsons managed to stop all 13 shots Calgary had on their 4 powerplays, but Kochetkov was still the better goalie on the night. Calgary is back at .500 with a 3-3-0-0 record while my lowly Wings remain the only winless team at 0-5-0-1.

Not a whole lot happened in Edmonton's 3-1 victory over Winnipeg - just four penalties total. Portillo stopped 23 or 24 shots for the win but still wasn't named a star, and the Oilers are now 3-1-1-0, just ahead of the Jets' 2-3-0-1 record.

Florida went 1 for 7 on the powerplay, putting up 14 shots, but it was enough for a point as they tied Dallas 2-2. The Stars remain near the top of the standings with their 4-1-0-1 record while the Panthers sit near the bottom at 2-1-1-1.

Speaking of teams near the top, the Habs 6-4 victory over the Devils means they stay as the only team without a regulation loss, going to 4-0-1-1 on the season despite Sarthou allowing 4 goals on 24 shots. Nikolai Glukhov put up 8 hits and 8 takeaways, which makes me wonder what the record high is for a single game. The loss drops the Devils to 2-3-1-1.

Tyler Seguin and Nikita Filatov each had 1g2a on the night and Dubnyk stopped 19 of 20 as Nashville went to 4-1-1-0 and beat the now 4-3-1-0 Penguins.

I already talked a bit about the Flyers-Ducks battles in their 4-4 tie, but I'll also note that Alexander Radulov had a hat-trick and the first three goals of the game were all on the powerplay. The Flyers are now 1-3-0-2 while the Ducks are 4-3-0-1.

Arizona thoroughly outshot and outscored the Kings, winning 5-1 while shots were 38-20. The Coyotes are 3-2-0-0 while the Kings, who had been the last team with a 100% record, drop to 5-1-0-0.

Carey Price stopped all 16 shots and led the Lightning to a 3-0 victory over the Islanders. The win has Tampa at 3-2-0-1, while the Islanders fall to 2-3-1-1.

And finally, in the night's third 5-1 contest, the Leafs beat the Rangers. Tuukka Rask let in 5 goals on 29 shots and presumably tried to break his stick while leaving the ice but instead fell down. Toronto moves to 4-1-1-0, while the Rangers surprisingly are 1-3-0-1 on the season. Rumour has it that the Rangers are going to shake things up by trading all their best players to Detroit

Loving the balanced scoring and discipline out of this team so far

5 points in 5 games averaging 12 minutes is a pretty good start by Marchenko. Some goaltending would be better.

Meanwhile, over in even more goalie-starved New Jersey, I want to give props to the impressive 15 +/- differential between the +6 leader and -9... not. Only Philly matches this (in 6 games, so arguably... better?) with Radulov/Nylander +6 vs Heatley/McKegg -9.

The hits record is at least 11

I was thinking more about record high for both hits and takeaways, as opposed to one or the other, since 8 of each in a single game is rather a lot.

... now that I think of it, I think I could find out (at least for last season). hmmm, I might try to do that today...

I think I've seen 9-9 before.

Per the new rules, suspensions are 1 game per week of injury up to a max of 25 games, so Wilde earned himself 24. Adjusted to 23 for the one game already served.

Whoops, I clearly misread something
