I wonder how much pressure McDavid and Draisaitl are feeling. Not just to win, but on how their legacy will be written. I'm sure that's hanging over their heads.
Edmonton has $22 million in cap this off season. RNH is making $6 million alone. They pretty much have to let him walk, or convince him to take a much smaller deal.

But there is an opportunity for Holland to retool the team's depth and defense this off-season.

I think I just heard Dan Cleary and Todd Bertuzzi's ringtones.

McDavid just got swept lol triple overtime. Darnell Nurse had 62 mins of ice in only triple OT. Seth Jones last year with 65 from 5 OT. Oilers coaching only trust 4 D man after the jets tied the game.

After we cheat our way to another, ahem, we'll help Edmonton out and expand our salary cap to 1 billion dollars to get either McDavid or Draisiatl.

It's not fair to the NHL or those players that they don't get to play with Kucherov and Point.

Already going the wrong way.


edit:

Pang's good, but there's a severe lack of personality going on overall.

RMU is one of those college teams you never hear about, but are a minor league hockey player factory.

It is no longer possible for the Lightning to face the Avs/Golden Knights prior to the Stanley Cup Final. The East winner, whoever it is, finished with fewer points than the Lightning so they'll be the #4 seed if the Lightning (or Panthers/Hurricanes) and Maple Leafs win their divisions.

The IIHF picked the worst chorus to hear non-stop, but the theme for this year's WC's is a lot better than it seems.

Outside of their respective broadcast areas and huge Bolt/NHL fans I cant imagine the ratings/advertising sales make sense to do that.
Maybe not, but my guess is that Canada's hockey fans will be watching regardless of what time the North division game starts. Beyond that, in this peculiar year, they are two completely different markets with little intersecting interest until later in the playoffs and so from where I sit this one makes no sense in the US. It's not like the western market gives a shit. It's only in the east that anyone cares at this point.

True, but NBC still has programming time to fill.
