Some highlights for your viewing pleasure:

Question: What’s better than a Matt Duchene shootout goal?  Answer: Watching a Matt Duchene shootout goal in slow-motion.  Here is his backhand finish on Winnipeg Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec on December 11, 2014.

Alex Tanguay is patient with the puck.  Case in point, his shootout-ending goal against Edmonton Oiler goaltender Ben Scrivens on January 2, 2015.  This is pretty.

Video credit for both of these goals to Vince Talavera.  He has great seats for shootouts at Pepsi Center.  Thank you for sharing the love Vince!

ESPN.com’s Pierre LeBrun’s piece on Patrick Roy’s impact on this season’s team, complete with a horribly lettered Roy jersey.

NHL.com picks Patrick Roy for the Jack Adams Trophy.  Sounds good to us.

NHL.com picks Nathan MacKinnon for the Calder Trophy. This sounds good to us as well.
