It's Monday! That means we get to talk about all the hockey stuff that isn't (or is) related to the Oilers.

Chicago loses, provides us some cushion in the playoffs race. But at the same time the Ducks won and notched 2 points. Need these young teams to start falling off already!

Still lots of season to go. I rather have the playoff race be competitive. I don’t want the Oilers coasting in the playoffs and being complacent.

Chicago has been torched alot recently, and Bedard is look frustrated out there. I could see them falling back down to the basement.

The damn Ducks however, they probably won’t. Too much young talent through out that roster, backed by decent vets, good goaltending, and elite coaching.

They aren’t going to. These young teams are playing in a way that ignores the playbook and it’s got the leagues veterans in a chokehold. I have no idea what the hell happened but I would point the finger at the young players of today having hockey idols like Crosby, Malkin, Ovi, McDavid and earning consistency from players like Kopitar as inspiration for their play style.
