Interesting that he uses a song about Chicago.

Shaugabay was a solid bet in last year's draft. Probably never plays for the Lightning though, could see him running out the clock to UFA in 2027

Interesting, why is that?

Just could see it happening

Shaugabay hasn't even started his NCAA career, so that's all down the road.

Him going to junior for a year only means he needs 3 years of NCAA before being UFA eligible (4 years removed from the draft). Very possible he may want to pick where he wants to play.

I may have this wrong but my understanding is that players drafted that go into the NCAA don't have their rights held for a certain timeframe before their rights are lost like players who play in leagues that have NHL-transfer agreements do. NCAA players must complete their program to become UFA eligible. 4 years is just the typical time for an NCAA program.

OSB narrowly knocked SC out of the final playoff spot. The Stingrays have now fired their coach.

"Missing the Kelly Cup Playoffs in 2022 and 2024 and losing last year in the first round is not the standard and expectation for our organization, and we need to get back to playing meaningful hockey in May and June."

but that's their standard.

SC has the rookie of the year, Austin Magera. Doesn't matter.

The 21-22 season is almost unfair. Kotyk started the season as assistant coach, and only had the last 18 games of the season in the big chair. They went 10-8-0, and missed. There was still time to have turned their season around, which is why it was done with nearly 20 games left.

The Magic are trailing the Cavs at half time right now. OSB has to play at 9pm.

 

[Felonious Python]

OSB played last night with a 9 pm start. I don't think the ice was especially good, given that an NBA game had just been played a few hours before.

The Kia Center staff got the place converted in under three hours. They didn't have enough time to convert all the seating, but they got the essentials done.


It was a Saturday night, but I was still sort of surprised by the number of kids in attendance.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Crunch win Game 2 in OT

- 1 assist on Day's goal in the 3rd for the lead and the the OT winner for Fortier
- Duke has a point in each playoff game





Shaugabay's season ends as Green Bay falls to Muskegon in the playoffs.

He finishes with 4 goals, 6 points, in 8 playoff games, including this game winner.
