The Panthers are (which I agree with) projected as a low-tier playoff team. But as with any team in that projected 6-8 spot, a couple injuries or cold streaks and they'll be on the outside looking in. I said it before but with how many great and bad teams there are in the East, there's pretty much no chance Florida finishes above 6th or lower than 9th.

On paper it's a fringe playoff team but all they have to do is to convert five losses into wins and suddenly perception will change into that they are a major threat.

I'm not sold on the Bruins. No reason we can't get the 3rd seed in our division.

That 1st line is one of the best in the NHL. It has 3 players that would be the best player on 20/31 teams in the NHL. They aren't a sure thing for the top 3 but they are definitely one of the 3 favorites.

Barkov being charged with a driving offense of some sort (the story has little information and doesn't disclose anything other than "endangering road safety", which includes various driving offenses), probably speeding.

Used 'google translate' to read the article and idk if some phrases were lost in translation, but it called it a "criminal case" and said he will face prosecution at a hearing... is that just a poor translation or is typical to have a criminal court hearing for a speeding ticket in Finland? Made me worry it was something more serious like intoxicated driving.

If it is a speeding ticket then that means he drove over 40km/h over the limit. That's when you gotta go to court.

He can plead guilty as charged and does not need to appear in court then, the fine is going to be hefty though but if it's "just" speeding he'll probably avoid jail time.

Nothings quaranteed but Boston should be an elite team.

Monster 1st line with deep 1-6 blueline& Rask in net, McAvoy addition was massive for Boston, the kid looks like the Chara replacement the team desperately needed.

They've also added ton of young talent at F that aren't household names yet, outside of Pasta. DeBrusk, Donato, Heinen& Bjork look like players as well.

Florida thanks to their elite top5 could challenge last years trio, but they have more question marks around their roster than the 3.

I think there's a limit to that too though, right? So if it's excessive speeding (say something like 200 km/h in a 100 zone), you can't just pay and make it go away, I think.

Drunk driving is a seperate offense, so it's not related to that.

Endangering road safety includes things like speeding, reckless driving, passing in areas where you're not supposed to, running a red light, etc.

the ducks brought back a new rendition of the classic mighty ducks jerseys with most of the original colors (FINALLY!!!!!), we need to do something similar like in that link. use the new redesigned leaping panther and try the classic red design but with a new twist to it.
