league is really hitting a golden age in terms of highly skilled players entering the league in the last couple years.

Last night I watched the first NHL meeting between #1 pick Matthews and #2 pick Laine. What a game! Leafs up 4-0 including a very nice assist by Matthews and Laine and the jets come storming back and tie the game thanks to two Laine goals. Then in OT, Matthews misses a breakaway and the puck goes the other way to Laine who has a partial breakaway/1v1, rips a wrister into the far corner for the win and first career hatty.


Keep in mind, this is a guy who said over the summer that he should've gone #1 ahead of Matthews. He's probably feeling pretty good about himself today.

It's a chilling realization that the NHL is more than ever a young man's game and the Blackhawks are yesterday's news.

For more young talent on the rise, I heartily recommend today's Heritage Classic up in Winnipeg, with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the Oilers against Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, and the Jets. NHL Network at 2 today, don't miss it, the atmosphere should be terrific.

Why is it chilling though? They were the most dominant team of the salary cap era. They cant win it all every year. A year to retool and make a run next year. They still have a couple more runs left in them.

Outdoor games suck, but I did watch a little of it.

Kassian had a goal and an assist! I didn't even think he was still in the league!

pretty weird last night to watch Nazeem Kadri win the McDavid vs Matthews matchup.
