Protas is trying to do something nobody else ever has, finish with 60+ even strength points while having less than 2 power play points.
Cool stat I saw. Hagel now holds the record of most goals scored before a PP goal at 33.

That's so insane. Not sure Protas will hit that this year, but I'd bet on him to get another goal or two. It's interesting to think about him not getting more PP time since we usually play 2 left shooting forwards down low and on the half wall next to Carlson or Chychrun at the point. Although us using both Strome and Dubois on the 1st unit would mean we'd lack an acting center if we just went with McMichael and Protas in those spots for the 2nd unit, even if both of them have played center before.

Well, guess the Canucks have given up the slim playoff chase. Terrible game against the Kraken.

Can't keep playing Quinn Hughes 30 minutes a night while missing your 1(?)/2C's and a top six winger.

Terrible season with all the drama, injuries and inconsistent play. Now on to draft talk!

Very annoying game for sure. The Kraken keep winning lately instead of losing out and getting a top 4 pick.

Canucks are six points ahead of Detroit to have a slim shot at winning the #1 pick this year.

I think we have Vegas x2, Minnesota x1, Colorado x1 .. tough competition for the remaining 4/6 games left. Hopefully we lose all those (and more) and Detroit wins.

Crazy that Ovi might hit Gretzky's record in the same amount of games played. We live in a simulation.

Unreal. I wanted him to get the hatty so bad. But I think pressure is sort of off at this point, he knows the next one is going to happen and it'll be the one.

Well now I can't miss the next couple cap games I guess.

Not going to lie if he doesn't score Sunday, I'm going to have to really think hard about dropping a lot of money on a ticket for Thursday at home v Carolina. Only 2 home games left this season, and I think it isn't going to take long for the next one.

Wtf NHL I thought they were putting all the remaining caps games as national broadcasts. Instead I’m out of town taking care of my dad and it’s blacked out on everything including my own xfinity stream dvr that has always worked for watching while in traveling.

I'm impressed by the habs this year. You can feel they are still a ""young" team but I really like what I see. Not expecting much until the end of this season but it looks like we might finally get some decent hockey in the next few years.

Hutson is such a stud. I really hope his brother is anywhere near his level.

Habs returning to the playoffs is good for everyone. The Bell Center in playoff atmosphere is quite the show. Will be interesting to see how Fowler/Demidov develop and if we can use some of the good cap management we've built to acquire a 1B center and be competitive for years to come.
