Firepower for days. It takes a full 60
minutes to beat the Cats, something San Jose learned the hard way. |

Watching the Lightning play hockey is
like watching a master artist paint. Everything is effortless. No movement is
wasted. Sublime talent and polished perfection. |

The Leafs haven't lost since January
19th. They're a solid top 4 team right now. |

Lose to the Kraken and Red Wings, and
still move up a spot. It's not a perfect ranking! |

Weren't these guys supposed to be leading
the division by a zillion points by now? |

As expected, Calgary passed the Sharks

Middle of the road has been all ups and

Edmonton's turn to host The Evander Kane
Show. He's seems to have had issues wherever he's been. Evander Kane gets
another second chance. Are they serious about getting Martin Jones to improve
their goaltending? |

If they move to a 5000 seat arena, and
they can't fill it, can we all finally just admit hockey in Arizona doesn't
work? |

Not only do they lose a lot, but they're
super soft. Not good. |
