To the Jets of all teams... Well last year the 2nd last place team Colorado handed the Hawks first regulation loss. Then two days later the Hawks lost to the Oilers in one of the most insane games ever. Strong teams usually get their winning streaks broken by crappy teams because they take it easy with them and the crappy team wants to make a statement fun fact, this is OHL but the London Knights have the longest winning steak to start the season. they broke the record by beating up on my Sudbury Wolves (who were flat out garbage that year, even with Marc Stahl). then the winning streak was finally ended by... the same garbage Sudbury Wolves team. added irony, a few years before that the London Knights had the longest ever LOSING streak to start a season until they finally won a game... against the Sudbury Wolves.

Yeah and there is always the weird thing in sports that the dominant team will always struggle against that one garbage team for some reason. Before this season if was Edmonfon/Chicago, Edmonton/Nashville, Colts/Chargers, etc.

I think that sometimes you just cannot predict how a bad team will play. They are trying so many things to turn around their fortune that they are a moving target. Meanwhile great teams tend to be locked in pretty well while still being able to make adjustments. But when a team swings wildly it is hard to just "adjust" things.

Yeah good teams usually end up on streaks. Big winning streak, then big losing streak after. Big point streak then big slump after.

Pfffft longest win streak to start the season in the OHL. But Brandon Wheat Kings still hold the record for the CHL EDIT: I'm an idiot. We still have the record for most points in a CHL season 125, London did beat the win streak record. My bad

Del Zotto traded to the Preds For Kevin Klein who I can honestly say I don't know anything about.

Del Zotto traded to the Preds For Kevin Klein who I can honestly say I don't know anything about. This has to be a salary dump because they are afraid he's going to ask for more money next season. All I can say is Nashville is on the process of trying to contend to the playoffs this season and rebuilding their team the exact same time.

Del Zotto for Klein? Uh, okay. I'd be happy if I was a Preds fan at least.

Del Zotto traded to the Preds For Kevin Klein who I can honestly say I don't know anything about. You should be excited: you're getting an Oscar winning actor known for both his dramatic and his comedic performances, including films like A Fish Called Wanda. His turns on the stage have caught attention, as well, including his legendary performance as the Pirate King in the 1980's update of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance. Plus, he's married to Phoebe Cates, so you know he has good taste. All in all, a worthy acquisition.

I'm still confused by this trade. I know the Rangers love to spend to the cap limits but the salary cap is being raised by 9 million dollars this year. Plus Del Zotto isn't really having a good year so he's going to get another bridge contract.

Plus Del Zotto isn't really having a good year so he's going to get another bridge contract. They needed some more consistency on the back end which MDZ was not providing this season. Klein is one of those defenseman who is pretty good at what he does because you never really notice him; more importantly is consistent. Thus, the Rags pulled the trigger on this trade.

Word is that MDZ's agent also requested a trade earlier this season, so maybe this is just the fruit of that.
What is this I don't even-

But Del Zotto is still very young and has potential while Klein's skills are more likely going to diminish with age. Still makes me mad Edmonton couldn't get Del Zotto like he would of been best the defenseman on the Oilers that's how weak the corps are. Nobody can play defense and outside of Schultz Junior everyone treats the puck like a hand grenade.

Can the Red Wings pull up an upset and beat the Hawks?

Might as well check on this now: anybody here heading out to one of the outdoor Stadium Series games this week (Dodger and Yankee Stadiums) or in the near offing (Soldier Field and in Vancouver)?
I'm headed to the Bronx on Sunday with three buddies from Jersey City, and after looking on Facebook yesterday I see another handful of friends have gotten their hands on tickets, too (all Devils fans, thankfully). Forecast says 21 degrees, and that we'll likely have snow the night before. Dreading that.

The Sabres are 48 points worse than the Ducks.
Now THAT'S a gap.
