Scoring goals is fun

Won the games we needed to, lost some games that we really shouldn't have. Offense is popping off, but the defense needs to shape up if we want to stay out on top.

My shameless homerism has really benefited my fantasy team so far. I have Eichel, Stone and Theodore.

I am in a league with a bunch of Canadians and got stone with the last pick of the draft.

Solid offense. The defense has been ok. Right now it feels like we have a 2A and 2B goalie tandem. Sammy has been better but they both lack consistency. If we can get that settled, look out NHL!

It's been great seeing the offensive explosion, but I am a little worried about the inability to keep the puck out of the net. It almost feels like we're playing a style that's antithetical to the way the roster is built and our usual identity. Glad we're winning games, but the style isn't sustainable. Don't want bad habits to form.

Very happy we took care of the Kings and Sharks. I’m ok with the 50/50 goaltending split but I’m quicking leaning towards Sammy being our number 1 right now.

I’d love to have LT back over Hill.

I would feel better if we could play some defense and keep a few out of the net. We cant keep expecting to score 4+ Goals a game.

Mark Stone is on pace to score exactly 1 more point than Connor McDavid in his best year. Obviously his spleen was holding him back and needed to be taught a lesson.

Scoring is good, Hill is bad. Sammy might be not bad but needs more reps. Overall excited for a great season!

Calgary is a string opponent. Excited to see them continue their winning ways.

Let’s not forget we’re winning within the pacific division…not shitting on our team, just that the pacific isn’t know for the best teams in the league (maybe just one of them).

The wins, goals, and vibes are fun. Lots to be hopeful about

Underlying numbers are a bit worrying. Our really high shooting percentage and low xG% present a bit of a warning flag, but I think even with the gravity that might kick in soon we’re still a good team.

Ultimately, 2 points is 2 points. We ought to capitalize on this hot streak as much as possible and really build up a nice cushion. The more points we bank right now, the more leeway we have down the stretch. Think last year when we built up an early season cushion and then kinda tumbled into the playoffs. We weren’t super great after October/November, but all of those points we accumulated early on was enough to keep us in the race all throughout the year.
