"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Story of the season so far is the Sabres. Kids like Jack Eichel and Rasmus Dahlin are growing up.

Tortorella was hot...
"Korpisalo's injury was part of the reason for a rant from coach John Tortorella after the loss. The coach said the whole shootout would have been avoided had extra time been restored to the clock in the third period, allowing Zach Werenski's potential game winner to count.
"So the chain of events, if it was done right," Tortorella said, striking the podium in front of him, "is that we don't lose our goalie and we win the hockey game. So all the goddamn technology, right? The technology and getting things right ... the stubbornness tonight, by the officials and by the league and Toronto, however it's supposed to goddamn work, screws us."
NHL vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said in an email that Tortorella's comments were "unprofessional" and "unacceptable" and that the league was dealing with the matter.
On Monday, Tortorella said in a news conference that he was undisciplined with his Sunday comments."

Blackhawks got busy at the deadline. Always want to see activity.
The 43-year-old Zamboni driver is an incredible story.

The locker room scene after the game was over was awesome, the Mayor of Raleigh NC is going to have a day in his honor.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

The NHL is considering a 24-team playoff format - https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/n...t-report-says/.
Why 24 teams? Might have something to do with the Canadiens being 12th in the East and the Blackhawks being 12th in the west.
