Gulutzan on the Pionk hit on Robertson:
“I didn’t love the hit. I thought it was low. I loved the response. It’s our building, and guys aren’t gonna come in here and push us around. We’ve got guys that can step up, and we had two of them do it tonight, and Jamie in a big way.”
Wyatt Johnston is just the 30th NHL player all-time to record three straight 30-goal seasons before turning 23 years old.
The full list of players to do it since 2000:
Matthews
McDavid
Pastrnak
Laine
Stamkos
Malkin
Ovechkin
Kovalchuk
…And now, Johnston.
Justin Hryckowian is, unsurprisingly, the first player on the ice this morning.
He said yesterday that he had a ton of texts after the Oilers game (as you can imagine) with nearly everybody wanting to know what he was saying to the Edmonton bench. Popular guy right now.
Jason Robertson among U.S. born forwards this season:
23 goals (2nd)
22 assists (T-5th)
45 points (2nd)
+13 (2nd)
9 power play goals (T-1st)
11 power play assists (T-3rd)
Team USA leaving him at home would be an all-time terrible decision.
Jamie Benn will play physical and start a fight to fire up his team who is down and people will tweet
“I still don't know why Jamie Benn is a captain of a hockey team.”
