Sanderson grabbing his wrist afterwards hopefully doesn't mean as much as people in the comments are speculating.

Schmaltz adding a good shot makes his game that much more impressive. He had two goals last night.

JBD with his first NHL goal tonight.

Natural hat trick for Boeser tonight.

Dang! Austen Matthews passed Boeser in total goals (23-22) now. What a great start for Brock.

Pretty good bet that he will surpass his career high of 29 goals

I read in an article prior to this season quoting Brock saying that he was not satisfied with last year and that he intended to increase his focus on the game this year.  Very humble guy, it seems.

I think his dad's passing hit him hard last season.

That was my hunch as well

Brock scored his 23rd today in Chicago and once again is tied with Matthew’s

Apparently there are a lot of "Brockstars" as Brock Nelson has 15 goals this year and Brock Faber for the Wild has been pretty impressive as well.

Charlie Burggraf steps down from his PWHL head coach role before it even starts. Had him as a youth sports coach (not hockey); great guy and easily the best coach I ever played for. He possessed great perspective and taught me some lessons outside of athletics.

T Jost put on waivers. Tough to see how his pro career has went along. He is the definition of a player that left college hockey (way) too early.

He has hung around in the big league for quite a few years, albeit as a journeyman.

But you are right, he could have used at least one more year in the college game.

At least. Unless you’re putting up video game numbers, no point in leaving for the pros that early. He’s still only 25 years old.

As my uncle used to always say, if you can’t have a beer at the bar after practice with the fellas…stay in school.

Jost went from healthy scratch to centering top line last night to waived today.
