23. Colorado: 4-4 (8 points)

A bottom-ten GA  and 28th PP is hurting them but a 1st, 3rd, and decent D prospect for 31-year-old Darcy Keumper, who’s an impeding UFA and only a $1.4M saving on departing UFA Grubauer? Is JFJ in their front office??

Random Note: He may have his issues every now and again but boy do I regret that Nazem Kadri trade. Barrie bold yet boneheaded blockbuster

22. Nashville: 4-4 (8 points)

Middle of the pack in most stats and quite possibly the most boring franchise since the Alvin and the Chipmunk films. Rather listen to Dave play his cartoon piano.

Random Note: Appreciation for Roman Josi (688GP, 120G, 455P, +61 and 10G, 40P in 80 playoff games). Hopefully a lifelong Predator (there’s got to be a better way to say that)

21. Pittsburgh: 3-3-2 (8 points)

Sure, score seven on us without Crosby, Malkin or Letang, get smoked by TB and shut-out by Calgary and then lose to NJ in Crosby’s debut. That’s just what we Toronto Maple Leafs fans expect, so try harder next time Pens.

Random Note: 7-1 and no Malkin, Crosby or Letang!!!!! How does this happen?? (I really need to let this go….)

20. Boston: 4-3 (8 points)

Linus signing has hit the Ull-mark (.927 SV %) so far but that centre-depth is hurting worse than Nick Foligno’s upper body. Bergeron with 0 goals and 3 points in 7 games? We don’t appreciate you mocking Mitch Marner’s playoff proficiency, Patrice.

Random Note: I’d say the Bruins might finally be up the creek without a paddle but the only thing that would Trump that idiom would be having an Orr involved
