No goals tonight, so Laine's now on pace for 69 goals... and 10 assists.

That's just a crazy goals to assists ratio.

Laine's goals:assists ratio year by year:

Year 1  1.3:1
Year 2  1.7:1
Year 3    7:1

Extrapolating his accelerating pace to next year, I believe he'll average 0-1 assists per year from 2019 onward.
 
At this point of the season, I'd like you all to know how I feel about the current standings:

Surprises:

1.  Buffalo
2.  Anaheim
3.  Calgary

Disappointments:

1.  St. Louis
2.  Philly
3.  Pittsburgh

I'm disappointed the Habs are doing as well as they are. Well, I don't want them to get Jack Hughes but I also don't want them in the playoffs.

Apparently Lucic is one of the most impactful Oilers now. Him and his 6 points in 30 games.
 
The latest mini-31 Thoughts podcast with Andrew Ference gets into the Lucic issue a bit, as well as the general Edmonton Oilers culture (media and team).
 
Dylan Strome:
ARI: 20GP 3G 3A 6P = 24 point pace
CHI: 8GP 4G 1A 5P = 51 point pace

Will be interesting to see if he keeps up that kind of pace.

Haven't seen much of his game but I think he's been pretty bad defensively so not sure if Jason Allison version 2018 is going to have a great future despite some better production in Chicago.

I haven't watched him either, but this is at least an improvement over what he's done in Arizona.  One step at a time.
 
Watched him in AZ, barely ever noticed him on the ice. A change of address might be the kick he needs to put in a better effort. Somehow I doubt it though. He is a below average skater, softer than butter, and very low effort. Not a combo for an NHL player.

If this nets fewer than 2 games from the DoPS, I may have to start a riot.

Wasn't even called a penalty on the ice. Although you should never push guys in numbers into the boards, the player could not have put himself in a more vulnerable position. If your pedestrian at crosswalk don't assume the car is going to stop just because you step in front of it.
 
Hire Laine a full time psychologist. When he?s on he?s on, his streaks are incredible. Try to keep him in a good mental space.
 
With 8 points in his last 3 games Mikko Rantanen now has 56 points in 33 games this season. That's a 1.7 PPG rate. We haven't seen a PPG rate that high since Mario Lemieux in 00-01, and he only played half the season then.

Crosby's highest PPG rate was 1.68 in 11-12, and he only played 22 games that season. His highest PPG rate in a full season was 1.52 in 06-07.
