It's not just Mcdavid, the clutching grabbing and stick shit has slowly worked it's way back to being pretty common. It is not pre lockout levels but it is getting bad. I hope they start calling that shit again. I know its a pain when there is 20 PP's a night but players figure it out. Just last night with the puck 150 feet away and a ref and linesman 3 feet away a Coyote player (Murphy?) had McDavid in a full headlock and executed a rather good hip toss to the ice. No penalty at all. That whole game was nothing short of a 7v5 all night. With how bad Edmonton played in the third plus how biased the reffing was it's amazing they won. The hooking and holding is getting worse and worse as the years go by. Pick plays are also not being called as interference as often either.
Maybe I'm just turning into a grumpy old man, but seriously the reffing in every damn sport seems to be getting worse and worse every year. It's getting out of hand.

The Mullet Man passed The Moose for second in all time scoring.

Crosby now tied for first in points and leading in goals by 7 after having missed 6 games. If he misses no more games, he's on pace to surpass 60 goals, which hasn't been done in 9 years.

This saturday we get to watch a first in NHL history!!!
CBJ puts its 14 game winning streak on the line vs the Wild's 12 game winning streak. Never have two teams on 10+ game win streak faced each other in NHL history!
I can't say I have ever said this, or thought I would ever say this but I am looking forward to a Blue Jackets vs Wild Game.

This season so far has been absolutely nonsensical
Hall/Larsson, Subban/Weber trades
Bergeron on a crazy scoring slump (11pt in 35g)
Vancouver winning 3 in a row to start, fans begin to think of playoffs, then immediately crash
Montreal winning 10 in a row to prove Weber doubters wrong
Rinne going hot to start the season before falling again
Stamkos getting injured again
28m in cap space injured on Tampa
Top 9 injured on Dallas
Detroit probably not making playoffs
Metropolitan Division thunderdome
Matthews and Laine tearing things up in the rookie race
McDavid carrying the Oilers
McDavid and Crosby generational Art Ross race
Colorado falling off a cliff
Islanders falling off a cliff
Schneider losing his game
Toronto looking like a real team
and not even mentioning the 2000 expansion team bowl tomorrow
This is what hockey should look like!

What a time to be a hockey fan.

Apparently so is everyone. Tickets for the CBJ/MIN game are on resale sites for prices that rival Leafs playoff tickets prices. As much as 1500USD for good seats.
Columbus. Minnesota. 4 figure ticket prices. Never woulda thought.

Life as a Vancouver fan ain't easy. When I want them to win, they lose, and now that I want them to lose and get a good pick, they keep winning. Come on.

On this day in 2007. Stefan bobbled the puck on a breakaway vs an empty net and the Oiler skated back up the ice and Hemsky scored to tie with 2 seconds left. Easily the most insane and unlikely play in NHL history IMO. Star do end up winning in OT though.
The consequences of that point? Edmonton and Chicago finished the year with 71 point each. Edmonton had the tie breaker though so they were ahead.
The draft result: Chicago had more balls in the lottery and won. Getting Patrick Kane. Edmonton would have had him if Stefan didn't make the NHL's biggest blunder!
What could have been....

CBJ is going for the goddamn win streak record and NBCSN is only doing periodic look ins while waiting for the goddamn Blackhawks and Sabres. How the hell do they not at least flex that game??
