The Official 2024-2025 NHL Season: Trade Deadline a Real War This Year

Hutson leading all rookie scoring as a D is pretty amazing

[sutterfamily]

Good lord they're starting Forsberg tonight...

[sutterfamily]

Congrats to the Wangs on their victory

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Before the trip started, I originally predicted a SNES OT loss and that feels like it would be pretty good at this point.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It's pretty incredible that the Beej are currently in one of the WC slots.

[sutterfamily]

7 teams within 4 points of each other for that final spot, wild. I have to imagine that the Beej and Habs don't have it in them to stay in the race. It FEELS like PNES shouldn't be able to either but they've been consistent the last month.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It’s equally amazing that the Sabres are only seven back considering that losing streak.

In terms of those seven teams, the biggest question is whether the Rangers make a big move and turn things around.

[Cacophony]

Middleton back so Faber gets hurt. Can’t make this up but somehow the Wild keep winning

what a world

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Nothing saps my excitement over the Wings winning six in a row like seeing another Montreal Canadiens win

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Can't help but think about the Wings' two losses to the Habs before Lalonde got canned -- if Detroit had won those games and, uh, still fired their coach and went on this run, they'd have 46 points and be ahead of Boston. Montreal would have 39 and be two up on Buffalo.

Boston has lost six in a row, that could be another opening at least.

jordan staal hat trick in 2025

what a world

He’s on a heater now, 5 goals and 3 assists in 4 games

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Is he taking dick pills

[sutterfamily]

SNES up 5-0 on the PNES on 14 shots.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

What a mess from 9 - 15 in the East

[sutterfamily]

It's nuts. I have no clue who will make it, tho I do have a feeling Boston misses.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

If the Red Wings win the rest of their games, which seems like a given at this point, they’ll have 124 points and I think that’ll be enough

In all seriousness, who knows. I could still see the Rangers turning it around based on how much talent they have

[sutterfamily]

It seems like the Rangers need a major shakeup of some kind. If that happens I could see it cause, yeah, there's a lot of talent for sure.

[sutterfamily]

Merilainen looking better and better - hope he can run with it while Ullmark recovers. Not a full-time starter or anything but he at least doesn't have random holes pucks go through (almost) every game like Forsberg/Sogaard

[Alexei Ca$hin]

It seems like every team in the wildcard race in the East is playing well at the same time too. Except for Boston and maybe Pitts.
