Another 67s domination this afternoon

Dorofeyev is almost the complete opposite to Hinostroza who was also just requested. The Vegas forward is an excellent player in both zones, whether that's as a scoring catalyst offensively or to suppress chances defensively. But he has trouble moving the puck up the ice or flipping possessions.

Hinostroza is a fairly odd player. He can struggle a bit in the defensive & offensive zones, but thrives in the transitions between possessions. He uses his stick well to strip pucks, helps his D on counter-attacks, and is a nice option on the rush thanks to his skating & passing. 📈 lb-hockey.com

Despite getting sewered by some really bad goaltending and OT results, Vegas's skaters have still been posting some solid numbers. Offensively, they've been a little above average in all types of chances while their defensive play shines everywhere expect against the rush. 📈 lb-hockey.com

Star Wars night at the Sens game, atp I wouldn't be surprised if Ottawa put this guy in nets

This thread is 3 weeks late because I've been sick+busy, but here is everything we've accomplished at lb-hockey.com in 2025 🏒 🧵 (1/...)

The game last night officially qualified as a Reimer choke

And God said, let there be light (the goal light repeatedly behind Reimer)

I love hockey

James Reimer .840sv% tn 🔥🥶🥵🚨🤯

6.95M is almost exactly what we predicted on a 7 year extension for Josh Doan. The term is very surprising though. It projects to be a great contract for Buffalo as Doan is already worth 7M with his play this season, and should sustain it as the cap grows. 📈 lb-hockey.com

Jackson LaCombe was always more than deserving to make the Olympic team. He's an incredible two-way defenceman outperforming some tough minutes for Anaheim. This will add even more puck-moving and smart shutdown prowess to USA's blueline. 📈 lb-hockey.com

I do think if you’re a journalist covering the sens and you haven’t typed the word “homophobia” in the past week you should be embarrassed

i don't think it can be understated how important linus ullmark is to this team, to the league, and to mental health advocacy.

Jake Sanderson is the epitome of the modern shutdown defenceman. Whether it's defending in his own zone, breaking the puck out, facing the rush, or applying direct pressure, Sanderson thrives in all situations. Oh and he's on pace for a casual 67 points in the meantime. 📈 lb-hockey.com

they havent learned shit and its all very transactional.

We have a goalie fight! Sergei Bobrovsky skates all the way down to challenge Alex Nedeljkovic (h/t @msmambo.bsky.social)

Kiefer Sherwood is a nice power forward who thrives as a disruptor off-puck and goal scorer with it. He's excellent at recovering pucks on the forecheck, helping his D on counter-attacks, can play the PK, and provides individual shot creation & finishing for some good scoring depth. 📈 lb-hockey.com

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Reimer cant even pick up the puck lmao

Rasmus Andersson is having a great bounceback season, posing as a dangerous dual-threat on offence and good two-way skills in transition. Zach Whitecloud is a good defensive #4/5. More offensive time open for Parekh now, but there remains a logjam at D in Calgary. 📈 lb-hockey.com

2nd star today! ⭐️ ⭐️

35 shots through two periods, is that good?

Kohyn Eshkawkogan, remember the name. Top 3 amongst 2027-draft eligible dmen in points, and one of the most poised skaters out there.

The most underrated goalie in the 2026 NHL draft

Carter Hart has 0 steals and 5 chokes this season on a 5-3-3 record. This means that with how the Vegas skaters played in those games, they were expected to go 10-0-1. 📈 lb-hockey.com

Per lb-hockey.com, the Ottawa Senators are last in the league in Stolen Games by their goalies with just 1. They are also second last in their goalie Steals-to-Chokes differential with -9, aka nine more chokes than steals this season (last is VGK with -10, third last is UTA with -6).

😐

Leevi Meriläinen has an .823 sv% in his last 7 games

And the first game after the Panthers visit the White House, they get destroyed 9-1 🥰 Simply love seeing Nik Ehlers (Danish) scoring a hattrick in there too with all the Trump-Greenland shit

New lb-hockey.com article comes out tomorrow, here's a sneak peek

Matthew Schaefer with maybe the fastest team I've ever seen

Reiner’s vocal bigotry should have prevented him from getting a contract so this next part shouldn’t even matter, but how did he still get one after this performance last night. He was quite terrible last year too (.864 in 2GP). But then again, that isn’t even the biggest problem with this signing.

i don't know how you can do this and then ask for support from the fans in any capacity. in 2026 we're signing open and proud homophobes? and not that it would make a difference but he's not even good? choosing to foster this negativity for what...a likely 5-game stint that won't make a difference?

it really shouldn’t matter if a player is good or not if he is out here being outwardly and proudly bigoted, but we all know that teams will give in to the temptation. signing a man who is not only an outspoken homophobe, but also completely ass at his job is just burning a bridge for sport.

The Ottawa Senators are blasting all the heated rivalry music at the game, so they don't mind profiting on queer sens fans but they do mind supporting them by not signing a bad homophobic goalie

James Reimer just let in a clean shot 13 seconds into overtime to lose his Belleville debut 6-5 after the skaters rallied back from being down 4-1 in the third. Reimer with an .786 sv% on the night 🥵🔥🥶🤯🚨😱

I wrote about Heated Rivalry and the Sens signing James Reimer! medium.com/@millvsSPQR/...

might be my favourite puckdoku column ever

Very close to our model's prediction, and it lines up with his projected on-ice value while grading out as a positive contract on the whole. Solid deal for both Broberg and the Blues! 📈 lb-hockey.com
