Don't worry, we'll choke in the first round vs the 'lanche. It's our MO.

Think Vegas and send them home. I don't know if that's possible with the fucked up way they do pairings now, but it's a nice little idea.

Last week before the trade deadline. Who’s making moves? Will Carolina have the balls to stick with Rantanen without a contract in place? Will Dallas make a move to shore up their forward depth with Seguin out? What kind of bullshit will Vegas pull out of their ass this year? We’ll fucking find out this week. The Bruins are still cheeks and this has been one of the most miserable regular seasons I’ve experienced since 2015. This team is fucked for at least the next 3 years.

Thank you Tampa and Seattle! Gourde and Bjorkstrand to Lightning for a couple of plugs and like all of Tampa’s draft picks through 2027. Tampa is loading up for another run.

Quirk- Tampa and minny both have 76 points on 36 wins, but Tampa is +58 and minny is -2.

Seattle has whiffed so far on two top 5 draft picks, so I'm not sure how valuable Tampa's first rounders actually are to them.

No, because Andy Scott is a douchebag.

It seems clear that Mikko and rep want to hit the open market July 1st. Colorado/Carolina/Dallas have all extended $12MM+ x 8yr deals and he’s turned them all down. All three are cup contending teams that will be in the hunt for the foreseeable future. Guess he wants $13MM+ to play on shit teams like Chicago/Buffalo/San Jose. Quite odd really.

And I posted literally two minutes too soon. Sounds like he’s signing in Dallas. $12MMx8. Kind of odd why he didn’t sign this in Colorado. They offered him this deal and he turned it down. Change of heart realizing he’s not going to make anywhere near Draisaitl got?

WTF was Boston thinking on that?  Great trade for the Avs...

Ehhhhh….Middlestat hasn’t looked great in Colorado, guessing they think he can fit in the Boston system which is slower and more defensive oriented. That’s a giant question mark. Guess the meat is Zellers and the 2nd round pick. Just assets to use for a future trade. Coyle is a nice pick up for Colorado.

Is he smart enough to know you don't make a pass in front of your own net with 18 seconds to go? Cripes....that Bruins game last night. 

Stick broke which led the fucking muffin to the slot. Tough break but our season is over. Let the rebuild commence.

Fuck…I need a western team to cheer on…I might just fully join the darkside and go with Vegas. Vegas +1200 to win the cup right now…

Yeah, I think he and his agent missed the mark on this.  They wanted Drai money and only after he left Colorado did he realize nobody is giving him Drai money. Thankfully Necas is a fucking stud.  And he skates like Nate and Cale.

Why the fuck would we send him to a fucking divisional rival? God fucking dammit! I’m fucking sick of Sweeney.

Fuck Vegas, but most importantly, fuck Stone! That aside, the other west teams added enough to erase the sliver of hope I had for the Jets winning anything. Is it football season yet?

it's really goddamn hard to be a contender year in and year out. and let's face it, Marchand is still a top 100 player, but he's in no way the same player he was when they were winning cups. it's hard to build a cup-winning team around an aging captain. it's the folly of making your best player the captain - makes it hard to keep them when they can still win a cup but you can't. just glad he didn't come to the stars. he's another Perry and while effective, I prefer to win in other ways

to my first point above, I would be willing to bet no none does what The Red Wings did relatively recently - make 25 playoff appearances in a row - in our lifetimes. too much parity (and that's not a bad thing, imho)

Guy......how can you not root for Winnipeg? Great hockey market and fanbase. That town deserves a Cup. 

Folks in Las Vegas didn't know what a puck was until a few years ago.

I will never root for a Canadian hockey team. I’ve spent too much time bitterly fighting Habs fans, Leafs fans, and Sens fans. 
 

The Bruins absolutely suck shit right now, so I’m just rooting for absolute chaos. I’m joining the dark side, this playoff run in a VGK fan. Plus we should have never gotten rid of Cassidy.

And you don't understand why Canadians are a little bitter? Seriously? They've seen Stanley Cups go to goofy markets like Anaheim, Vegas, Dallas, Tampa, Raleigh, Miami.......markets where they didn't follow the sport a generation ago.  

I remember Dallas in the 1980's when they were playing youth hockey at Prestonwood shopping mall. Hockey was a novelty to Texans in the 70's and 80's. I remember going to a Flyers/Oilers game at Reunion on September 30, 1987......the greatest team ever assembled with Gretzky, Messier, Fuhr, Kurri, Anderson, etc - and they were having to explain the rules of the game to the folks that showed up. 

I get the bitterness. I'll be rooting a little for the Jets.

I’m guessing you don’t follow a team that regularly plays Canadian teams, therefore you don’t have to regularly interact with their fans. Try listening to Leafs, Habs, and Sens fans spew nothing but completely delusional takes about how “good” their teams are for a few years and you might change your mind. It’s been an honor to completely own the city of Toronto and that shit hole franchise. Same with the Habs. Those fans can fuck off for an eternity.
