February 8: Brayden Schenn asked Gabriel Landeskog to dance prior to the opening face off in St. Louis so they did what hockey players do and they danced.

Starting(?) goaltender Jonathan Bernier was named the NHL’s third star for the month of January.  It was a great stretch of play for him and the team.  A well deserved honor.

Nathan MacKinnon scored the first goal of the All-Star game.  That was fun.

The accolades keep coming for Nathan MacKinnon this season.  He was named the NHL’s first star for the week ending on January 21.

Kyle Keefe’s face (reflected on the glass as the door to the ice closes) is all of our faces as the Matt Duchene trade unfolded during the game on November 5th.

Erik Johnson did his best to be diplomatic following the Duchene trade.  This interview following the game was the best EJ could do.

Gabriel Landeskog did that hockey against the Washington Capitals on November 16 and recorded his first career hat trick.  Check out the highlights from that game here.

We all know by know that a busy Varly is generally a better Varly.  He was REALLY busy against the Hurricanes on November 2 when he recorded 57 saves.
