All-star Break: Where they stand, Twit-styled

Ducks: High expectations. Came out flat. 1-7-2. Where'd Getzlaf/Perry go? No support, too. They've adjusted well. 12-3-2 since Christmas. #NHLDucks 

Coyotes: Signature Dave Tippett system. Really good youth Domi/Duclair/Reider/Domingue. Ekmann-Larsson Norris? Need win consistency. #NHLCoyotes

Bruins: Krejci,Bergeron,Marchand,Chara solid core.Eriksson proving value.Better than expected.Need another line - D and O.Deadline deals? #NHLBruins

Sabres: Young core. Jack Eichel! Ristolainen.Reinhart.Ryan O'Reilly showing leadership with E.Kane.Another high draft pick. Jack Eichel! #NHLSabres

Flames:  Terrible start. Johnny Gaudreau kicking it up. Hamilton not worst dman but overpaid. Wide-open system hurting more than helping. #NHLFlames

Hurricanes: Best worst team at the start. Justin Faulk in Norris hunt. Tough in a seven game series. Need to win vs worst. Staal trade? #NHLHurricanes

Blackhawks: Stanley Cup Champs. Still. Patrick Kane! Rookie Panarin performing. Solid team as usual. No glaring weakness? Forward depth? #NHLBlackhawks

Avalanche: Ugly start. Duchene,Landeskog,MacKinnon fired up now. Soderberg arriving. Beauchemin proving D prowess. Need another dman. #NHLAvalanche

Blue Jackets: Ugly start. Torts arrives, little change. Big trade. Welcome Seth Jones. Trouble scoring. Trouble defending. No Transition #NHLBlueJackets

Stars: Hot, hot offense. Benn/Seguin continue. Sharp/Oduya adding solid depth. Cooling into the break. Ruff will adjust. #NHLStars

Red Wings: Consistency despite changes. Zetterberg and rookie Dylan Larsson. Forwards continuing to be solid. Lack defensive depth. #NHLRedWings

Oilers: Crazy forward depth, young. Taylor Hall's arrival. McDavid's worthy, will return after the break. Need defensemen. System issue? #NHLOilers

Panthers: Jagr. Deep team. Gerard Gallant system. Aaron Ekblad anchored D. Much to prove. Only East team to challenge the Caps/Lightning? #NHLPanthers

Kings: Doughty. Deep three line team D and O. Kopitar worthy with new contract. Who steps up for J.Williams in playoffs? Lecavalier? #NHLKings

Wild: Building on prev seasons. Trouble scoring. Solid team need forward help. Suter logging TIME. Parise leading the way. 1-6-1 last 8 #NHLWild

Canadiens: What a start! What a decline.Carey Price out, return can save Habs? After Subban, no top d-men (Markov old). Changes coming? #NHLCanadiens

Predators: Hugely inconsistent. On paper, very solid, especially after Johansen acquired. 4-1-0 entering the break - found themselves? #NHLPredators

Devils: Strong core without a star. Cammalleri/Stempniak/Palmieri slight surprises. Larsson/Severson solid on D. Schneider! #NHLDevils

Islanders: Nonsense. Need system defense. Great PK. Top forwards all negative. Tavares in hiding? Okposo showing top-tier stuff.  #NHLIslanders

Rangers: Hot start. Lost rhythm. Still difficult 7-game series team. Need supporting finishers. Girardi overplaying? May need a trade. #NHLRangers

Senators: No #1 center. Mike Hoffman 40 goals?? Up/down play - D injuries a problem. Anderson great but alone. E.Karlsson! #NHLSenators

Flyers: All over the place. Shutout to 4 goals - offense and defense. Mason/Neuvirth. Gostisbehere solid d-man. Need another solid d-man. #NHLFlyers

Penguins: Finally coming together? Crosby producing after slow start. Malkin working every night. Defense lacks depth. Playoffs? Probably. #NHLPenguins

Sharks: Pavelski=Leader. Pavelski=scorer. Burns scores but D missing? Couture is key. Overall tougher than usual. Still not upper tier. #NHLSharks

Blues: Ken Hitchcock buy-in continues. Deep team - O & D. Too many injuries. Rookie Parayko +18. Need Pietrangelo to step up. Tarasenko! #NHLBlues

Lightning: Injuries muddy the first half. 9-2-0 last 11. Drouin trade can add free depth. Top team in the East if healthy. Kucherov hot! #NHLLightning

Maple Leafs: Babcock and Lamoriello taste hard times! Bright spots - high pick in the 2016 draft, JVR, Komarov, trade deadline! #NHLMapleLeafs

Canucks: Sedins and mediocrity. Not much else to say. #NHLCanucks

Caps: Most consistent team. Ovie, of course. Backstrom, too. Kuznetsov! Surprise. Off-season moves done well. No sign of drop off. #NHLCapitals

Jets: Typical Paul Maurice team. No true #1 forward. Blake Wheeler excelling. Byfuglien is huge - no joke. Deadline deals are the future? #NHLJets
