LeRinkRat

Pretty much a regular
The GOOD

"surprise" team Sabres tied 2nd Atlantic with 30 points one behind the Lightning "Bugs". 22-22 on season BUT WON last 7 and 8-2 last 10

the also "surprise" team Red Wings also 22-22 on season BUT won last 2 and also 8-2 last 10

"The Magnificent Predlies" lead the Central Division and Western Conference by 5 points. won last 3 and are 7-2-1 last 10

fab14's "Fabulous Flames" 1st on Pacific and 3rd in Western Conference. won last 3 and are 7-3 last 10

Vito's NY Rangers another "surprise" team tied with Bluejackets for Metro Division lead 26 points. won last 3 and 8-1-1 last 10

the BAD

LA Kings with just 15 points and dead last Pacific Division, Western Conference and whole damn NHL.

Blues bottom of Central with just 17 points. 2nd only to the Kings in futility

Panthers bottom of Atlantic and Eastern Confernece with 19 points. team has oodles of "young guns" but, once again, NO D & G

the UGLY

Vegas Golden Knights. essentially the same team that in there first ever season went to the Stanley Cup Finals just can NOT find their "Mo Jo" this season so far. the #1 line that lead the lead in points last season NOT scoring. just 21 points so far this season

Edmonton Oilers. once again Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins can NOT overcome their poor D & G. tied with the VGK at 21 points

Blackhawks. like the LA Kings a team of "old" overpaid "stars" just NOT performing. you gotta be pretty bad to get a coaching icon like Joel Quenville FIRED and they ARE with just 21 points and just above the Blues in futility

Penguins. two seasons removed for their last Stanley Cup win, this year the goaltending just STINKS and they are tied for bottom in Metro and are 2-9 their last 11 games closely followed by

Flyers. once again just NOT performing and tied with Penguins bottom of Metro

FEEL FREE TO ADD OPINIONS :)
 
Thx for the summary. Detroit has been the pleasant surprise since the first two weeks.
 
Hokey Smoke!!! after their OT win @ Detroit Saturday, "Der Schwert" (Sabres} NOW 1st in the Atlantic Divison AND Eastern Conference!!! they have now WON NINE in ROW!!!

AND my "Ugly" VGK starting to play like last years team their last three wins. after the embarrassing 2-7 loss at Calgary they come back with a come from behind 3-2 (OT) win at Phoenix then a solid 2-0 win over the Flames and a 6-0 grilling of the Sharks both at T-Mobile. Marc-Andre Fleury with shutouts his last 2 and has 5 in his 12 wins on 21 starts this season AND Max Pacioretty heating up with 6 goals in his last 5 games including the game tying and game winning goals in Phoenix :)
