Slaf played last night his last match as a teenager :p he´ll turn 20 tomorrow.

 

he ended his teenager career by extending his own Montreal Canadiens record of longest point streak by a teenager in the franchise history to 9 consecutive matches and with scoring his 41st point this season by extending his own Montreal Canadiens franchise record of top point scorer teenager of the Habs in one season.

 

 

and the most funny stat, since McKinnon did not get a point last night, believe it or not, but Slaf has now currently the THE LONGEST ACTIVE POINT STREAK IN THE NHL :lol:

With the playoffs closing in, which is the part of the season I do kind of try to follow, I've got a question: what are the main story lines going on right now/this season? Like, is there a certain team that is massively underperforming and surprisingly in danger of not making the playoffs, is there a team that is a sensation this season, something like that :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

my personal takes...

 

team overperforming compared to the pre-season expectations (and the past years results): Vancouver Canucks, definitely the biggest surprise of the year

 

teams doing better than expected, but nothing special: Winnipeg and Nashville

 

teams heavily underperforming (and basically out of the playoff race): Pittsburgh above all, then New Jersey

 

at a lesser extent, also Minnesota, Seattle and Calgary also didn't match the early predictions

 

the defending champions Vegas are also having a modest season, but they had been injury plagued and however they're still going to the PO, where they might be very difficult to beat

 

the Chicago Blackhawks showing how difficult is to rebuild a team from scratch, even after drafting a generational talent like Connor Bedard (also because of a mangement not doing well with the other tech choices and too many injuries to some key players, tbh)

 

individual efforts: Auston Matthews chasing the highest goal scoring performance since many, many years; the race for the scoring title between Kucherov, McDavid and McKinnon, all 3 reaching numbers rarely seen in the 21st Century

 

but above all, the year in Canada has been dominated by the scandals surrounding the game of Hockey, both among the professionals (5 players charged with sex assault accusations) and the youth system (so many allegations to the so-called coaches and educators, lots of attempts to hide all the dirty stuff at the top level of Hockey Canada followed by resignations and dismissals of many propminent officials)...

all in all, not a great year for Hockey in Canada

Slaf scored his first career NHL hattrick last night at 20 years and 10 days :)

Officially confirmed.  

 

There is much more to this story... Arizona Coyotes will be sold to NHL for 1 billion. Then NHL will sell to Salt Lake for  1.2 billion.  IF the Coyotes complete their new stadium within the next 5 years they will be immediately granted a expansion franchise  along with one other city.
