It was going to be great! Jack Eichel! Connor McDavid! The Oilers and Sabres may not have been quite there yet, but with two of the hottest young prospects in the game, they were emerging. And it would be nice to have a little buzz for a couple of moribund franchises, even if it was for just one night. Well, McDavid broke his collarbone, and was unable to participate. Eichel did score a goal, but boring ass Teddy Purcell and Jordan Eberle led the Oil to victory.
SCOREBOARD
Carolina 5, Arizona 4 – Like the middle school dance, these two teams were paired off because nobody else wanted to deal with them.
Chicago 3, Winnipeg 1 – As noted yesterday, the big story was Patrick Kane scoring in the 22nd game in a row. Impressive.
New Jersey 4, Florida 2 – The Devils are a crusty scab that never heals.
New York Rangers 4, Ottawa 1 – Derek Brassard is going to single handedly lift the damn Rangers out of their slump.
Edmonton 4, Buffalo 2 – Boring ass Taylor Hall and Luke Gazdic also scored for the Oilers.
Anaheim 2, Pittsburgh 1 – You heard it here first: This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Big time meltdown coming in Pittsburgh.
Los Angles 3, Tampa Bay 1 – The Kings are looking spry lately. Terrifying.
