The problem of course is that Skinner can't come back at anyone with 'paycheck' given how terrible he has played. He would get eaten alive by the media and fans. But a solid 'who are you?' or some flavor of that would be just as effective in this circumstance.
My favorite “who are you” moment ever was a couple years ago when Sens cup of coffee meathead Scott Sabourin was mixing it up with Auston Matthews and Matthews slowly looked at the nameplate on Sabourin’s jersey and with the greatest befuddled look skated away shaking his head...
 
I would think that Zibanejad's feat last night is a record, but you know, Wayne Gretzky once played in this league and I'm sure he owns all of the scoring records that you can think of and they are so ridiculous that no one who comes after him will ever have a chance of breaking any of them.
As it turns out, the NHL record for the fastest natural hat trick is 21 seconds by some Chicago buy back in the early 1950s. The fastest in the expansion era is 78 seconds by Derek King in 1991. Brayden Point had one that took only 91 seconds just a few years ago.

My favorite part of that scenario was that Sabourin ended up in the Leafs system at the end of that season. Awk ward
 
Bruins games agains the Slugs on Saturday and the Isles on Tuesday have been postponed due to 4 more players entering the Covid protocol.
 
Caps sign TVR to a 2 year/$1.9 million extension. He’s only played 9 games this season and has 1 goal.
 
TVR at that price definitely help the Caps out with their cap situation. They need some really really cheap players to fill out the roster for next season, especially with a flat cap.

Ovechkin is going to help them out by going back to Russia.
 
Frank Seravalli says that the Rangers will accept proof of vaccination for entry to games starting April 1. A negative PCR or antigen test are still acceptable.

 
This comes courtesy of Andrew Schnittker of Canes Country. The Slugs lost last night. Not unexpected, right? They’ve lost 25% of the season’s games. In a row. They’re 0-12-2 since beating the Devils on February 23. After that win, they were 6-8-2, not great but not terrible either.

Skinner is still about 160 games shy of Hainsey's mark of 907 games played before playing in the playoffs. Assuming he doesn't make it this year, he'd also have to miss out next year to pass Hainsey. Is Hainsey the all time record?
 
Yes, Hainsey is still #1 all time on that list. Skins is at the top of that list among active players. Our very own Victor Rask is at #7 among the active players. Chin up boys! Hainsey eventually won a Cup!

I think you mean before that win.
 
they should have a mercy rule for the pros when you are so far out of the playoffs you quit playing. :) Won't happen though due to all the tickets sold and other money. Or maybe refund part of the ticket money.
 
NHL record for losing streak is 18 by Pens in 04 season. Next 5 games for slugs are Pitt, x2 Boston, Philly x2

Draft lottery changes next year :
