Morning Skate: The last undefeated team in the NHL is ... the Canucks?
This can’t be right.
Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports
Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE
- Guys. I don’t mean to alarm you. But the last undefeated team in the league is ... the Canucks.
- I don’t know, either.
- Here’s how Patrik Laine’s hat trick relied heavily on his teammates.
- This hockey stick is basically Thor’s hammer.
- If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll sometimes want a glass of milk. If you block a shot, part of your ear might fall off. These are all things we learn in childhood.
- The Avalanche are hella fun to watch. (Is that what the kids say?)
- I don’t care who you are. This is funny.
- Trevor van Riemsdyk is apparently on the Blackhawks’ trading block. Probably because he likes Twix.
- MAKE THE WILD NINO AGAIN
- Forget about his one point in four games; Alexander Radulov is already providing the kind of supplementary offense the Canadiens sorely need from him this year.
- Tampa Bay knows when Ryan Callahan returns to the lineup. The question they’re facing is where exactly he’ll play in a stacked forward group.
- Lo and behold: the Senators still have defensive questions behind Erik Karlsson.
- Bobby Orr debuted in Boston 50 years ago today, which has our Bruins blog reflecting on the strange set of circumstances that led him there.
- The Maple Leafs have a lot of prospect cakes in the oven that aren’t quite done yet.
- Food.
- Our Red Wings blog wants to slap Detroit coach Jeff Blashill out a window. First story window, though! We are a pacifist blog network.
AND NOW, A BRIEF MUSICAL INTERLUDE
- Carolina got their first win last night. Now what?
- The Rangers’ ongoing saga with one of their top prospects has to end.
- There’s really no excusing the Flyers for giving away a game the Ducks were trying to hand them on a silver platter.
- #FREESTEVE
- So far it seems like Matt Duchene is picking up right where he left off last season.
- Magnus Paajarvi is turning a corner.
- Arizona can’t keep pucks out of their own net. Seems like a bad thing.
- Boston College and Quinnipiac will highlight the NCAA’s women’s league this week.
- Minnesota is the class of the Big Ten.
