Lundqvist is Swedish.

Patrik is just unreal right now. I?m at a point where I?m a bit surprised when he doesn?t score when he shoots Just absolutely loving this team right now!

Actually, Finns are technically not Scandinavian.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Actually, Finns are technically not Scandinavian.

Ha, true! You'd technically have to use 'Nordic'.

Actually, Finns are technically not Scandinavian.

Debateable.. I'm of the group that considers Finland and Iceland part of Scandanavia.  I grew up in Thunder Bay, the city with the second largest Finnish population in the world...

I was mostly busting your balls with that one, lol. I consider them "Scandinavian" as well but I've heard the point made that it's mostly about language, which you yourself brought up ("boort boort boort"). Finnish looks way different than Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic.

The fact remains: Laine and Lundqvist are not fellow countrymen.

[Jockitch]

Agree that Little's contract is one that probably will haunt Chevy or he moves it ........ as there needs to be some big $$ available for the .....
likes of Laine, Morrissey, Trouba to name a few.     Kulikov, though he has helped solidify the blueline, is overpaid in my view & may need to be moved.

If Scheif is out a few weeks ........ why not try Roslovic at center. Wheels is quite decent at center but Rosi was thought to be the center to bump Little down in the near future.
It's not like he doesn't dig hard for the puck as Scheif did & there is no denying he is a good playmaker.
Suggestion: Connor  Roslovic & Wheels ..... Stats line remains together, Little & Perrault get Armia while the 4th is whatever to be juggled when Lowry & Tanev return.

According to the NHL's social media dept., no other player has scored more goals over the last two seasons than Patrik Laine.

From Dreger: Expect official update on Mark Scheifele tomorrow. Doubtful vs Devils, but early indication is the injury isn't serious.

What a nightmare season for Mason. 

[Jesse]

What a nightmare season for Mason. 

Just one issue after the other.

At least Helle got a game off.

You've got to be kidding me.
