i think he meant 13-14 season.

Ah, thanks, that makes so much more sense. Trotz is a guy with a plan, so that did strike me as odd.

Bergevin says being a GM "not like playing Playstation. I played last night, made a trade, called the same GM this morning and he hung up."

"He may never play centre... I don't know... His play will tell us where he ends up."
--Bergevin on Galchenyuk #HabsIO

He needs to get off easy mode trade and go hard mode trade

Yeah the Caps love taking shots at Oates... Not going to say he doesn't really deserve it but we are over a full season removed, it is getting to the point where those guys in there need to move on. They can laud Trotz and really they should it sounds like they like him, but we are officially to the point where underhanded or outright shots at Oates really don't need to be taken.

U of Minn D Mike Reilly, playing for USA at #WHC, informed CBJ this week he is going to explore UFA market but CBJ still a consideration.

Not really any room for him in Detroit, but interesting nonetheless.

Hextall hires Hakstol, how quaint.

I'm shocked the king of Grand Forks is abdicating his throne. Hak is a helluva coach and has littered the Nhl with his players; we'll see if his style translates to the big show.

So Ducks strike first. Andersson seems ready.

Ducks play a relentless game. Adding Kesler to that core of Getzlaf and Perry was the perfect move.

Not that he has any reason to consider or choose Detroit, but Detroit shouldn't be using "room" as an excuse to sign a 21 year old D prospect with offensive upside. They're really bombing in that regard (Sproul, Smith, Kindl, Almqvist). If he signed, you could move on from Smith pretty easily and give Reilly that spot to sink or swim in.

Tyler Johnson is such a stud..

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Johnson has to slow down at some point. Even guys with more talent typically don't keep this up for very long.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Lightning dominating the Rangers. Hedman is looking great, nice game for Fil, and they are heading back to Tampa with home ice.

 

[ap3x]

Seeing the Bolts do what they do so far, it's even more depressing that we couldn't finish them. Despite of having good chances.

Tampa doesnt know what it takes to win it all


which is really why im Hoping for Chicago to come out of the west. Cause I dont want Anaheim to win the cup.

But NYR will probably beat them. Theyre hungry

That's also one of those sports cliches that gets thrown around but has almost no substance. Every player in the NHL has been a winner most of their lives. That's why they are playing in the NHL.

The idea that, collectively, 23 people are all losers, brought together by a cosmic force of kismet... it's a weird idea.

If anything, I've been really surprised with the resiliency that Tampa has shown. They've played poorly at points in every series, but have found a way to gut out wins when they matter.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Rough game for Stoner so far.

It's not a weird idea for 23 people brought together by the cosmic forces of Kevin Lowe and Craig MacTavish, though[[

Anybody else up late waiting for Patrick Kane to score the game winner?

 

[TeemuS]

Its almost end of week and they are still playing

Alright so Kane didn't score it, but the Hawks won. Crazy game.

 

[TeemuS]

yeah, finally i did 2h of work already

And it starts off with a loss, Not a win. when you lose, You know what you have to do to better yourself
