He already has six goals and looks poised to cruise past his career high of 20 goals in a season. Maple Leafs. The big dogs are all cooking for the Maple Leafs these days. Toronto is starting to look like the team that everyone thought they would be prior to the start of the season. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was doubting the Blues after a hot start because I wasn't buying it. This week, I will defend the Blues because I think they played better in the past week than their record might indicate.

Louis probably should've gotten a win over the Kings, but Jonathan Quick slammed the door in the opposing net. Tampa Bay picked up five of a possible six points last week, and they did it in pretty impressive fashion. After going through the playoffs on one leg, the now healthy Victor Hedman has been outstanding on the blue line. The Flames had a rather unlucky week.

Prior to routing the Rangers, they lost back-to-back overtime games against the Predators and Stars in which they played well and probably deserved to win. Calgary did everything right, but they just didn't get the results. Patrice Bergeron went seven games without scoring a goal, but the floodgates opened against the Red Wings.

He scored a hat trick and added another for good measure in the Bruins' win. That's not a bad way to end a slump. Golden Knights. The Golden Knights did it. They managed to rescue Jack Eichel from a messy situation in Buffalo. Now, the trick for Vegas will be winning games while their best players, including Eichel, get healthy. If the Golden Knights are even within spitting distance of a playoff spot when that happens, watch out. The big question for the Flyers coming into the season was whether Carter Hart could bounce back.

So far, he's looked like his old self. Hart is fifth in the NHL in goals saved above average at five-on-five with 4. Unfortunately for the Rangers, they will be on the wrong end of NHL highlight reels for years to come. Connor McDavid carved up four of them on the same play before shaking Alexandar Georgiev out of his pads for a jaw-dropping goal. To make matters worse, the Rangers followed that up by getting trounced by the Flames. It was a week of missed chances for the Capitals. They lost three one-goal games, and they fell to the Panthers in a thrilling overtime battle.

In your weekly Alex Ovechkin update, he tallied a goal and two assists in that game against Florida. Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets just keep on winning, and they went against the Colorado Avalanche last week. Cole Sillinger, 18, who was the No. While Howe's scoring records were eventually broken by Wayne Gretzky, his longevity records will likely be unchallenged for years to come. He played for the Red Wings from through and after a one-year absence he continued to play professional hockey not with the Wings until Steve Yzerman was the ultimate hockey professional throughout his career.

Yzerman played for the Red Wings from , played on three Stanley Cup championship teams and was the Wings' captain. Illitch has given the Red Wings organization the strength and financial backing to assert itself in the NHL on an every-year basis. The Chicago Blackhawks were languishing for many years under the ownership of the late Bill Wirtz.

However, since Rocky Wirtz moved to the helm of the franchise following the death of his father, he has directed the franchise to new levels of popularity in Chicago. Wirtz has marketed his team and put home games on local television, something his father resisted until his death in The team averaged a league-high 21, fans per game , which is percent of United Center capacity.

Blackhawks players like Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are often treated like conquering heroes. They achieved that status when they led the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup, the team's first championship in 49 years.

Those hockey legends were welcomed back into the fold by Rocky Wirtz after he ascended to the throne and the fans recognize the accomplishments of their former heroes with consistent appreciation. In addition to the city's hockey tradition, Chicago is one of the most beautiful and livable big cities in North America.

The Flyers were part of the group that included the St. Ed Snider was the owner of the team at the start and he remains the owner 45 years later. Snider is largely responsible for building the organization to one of the most consistent in sports. In their very early years, the Flyers tried to get it done with speed and finesse on the ice, and they regularly took harsh, physical beatings.

Snider and Flyers management realized that the team had to be tougher and have the ability to stand up for itself. For this reason, the Broad Street Bullies were built, and they remain in place. The Flyers have been embraced by Philadelphia's loyal and passionate fans for decades.

Sports Illustrated referred to Philadelphia's fans as the most driven in sports. The Flyers won back-to-back Stanley Cups in and '75 and those remain among Philadelphia's greatest sports memories. If this ranking was based simply on passion alone, all seven of the Canadian teams would be on the list, and there could be no argument. Hockey is Canada's national pastime, and while American fans love the game, hockey is akin to religion in Canada.

With that caveat behind us, the game is revered in Vancouver and the fans live and die with their Canucks. The team has become one of the best franchises in the league and the city came to a virtual standstill during Stanley Cup Finals games between the Canucks and Boston Bruins in It ended badly when the Canucks dropped the seventh games and a small percentage of fans rioted following the defeat.

But that is just a small part of what hockey in Vancouver is about. The Canucks have built a thoroughly professional organization with solid minor-league teams as well as one of the best teams in the NHL. You can tell how strong the Canucks organization has become by the reaction of teams who confront them. Playoff meetings with Chicago and Boston have turned these non-geographically similar teams into bitter rivals.

You don't care about teams like that unless they raise the level of competition and get your blood pumping.
