I'm very reluctant to re-post Jeff Moss of all people but, this one time, he makes a reasonable point.

The current Central standings are easy to remember.

Apart from Larkin, Kenny had two #15 picks in 25 years! Yzerman has had seven #15 picks already. The year before Holland picked Larkin he picked Mantha at #20 - Mantha was handed to Yzerman in 2019 as a 24 year old coming off a 25G 48Pts in 67 games. Holland also picked Tyler Bertuzzi late in the 2nd round in the same draft as Mantha and Bertuzzi was handed to Yzerman in 2019 as a 24 year old coming off a 21 G 47 Pts season. Hronek, drafted late in the 2nd round in 2016, was handed to Yzerman as a 21 year old. Holland missed on two top 10s - Zadina and Rasmussen - but let's see how much better than those two Kasper and Danielson turn out to be. That's not defending Holland, just saying that apart from his three top 6 overall picks Yzerman's drafting hasn't yielded much ...yet. A 91 point season with 2 games to go, on the playoff bubble, isn't much different than what I expected last September. We'd feel differently about 91 points if: a) the points hadn't been frontended in the first 2/3 of the season followed by a 1/3 of the season collapse; and b) youth like Kasper, Danielson, ASP and Cossa had contributed to those 91 points.

The Leafs traded their 2026 #1 last year at the deadline but it's top 5 protected. The Leafs finally fell into the NHL bottom 5 tonight. If the Leafs win the lottery and get to pick Gavin McKenna ...

I’m giving up on hockey. Still want to cheer for a team in red though. Go Red WaterWings Go!

Go Tigers, go Pistons, go Habs.

5-3. 59 seconds to go. Here come the boos!

At least the 2024 team had late game dramatics in an exciting final week.

When does the booing start? Final buzzer or before then?

Somehow the Wings give up a 2 on 1, the Devils score, and the Wings are 3:30 from official elimination.
