That's a good core over there in Miami. If there is one coach who can take the Panthers to the next level, it's Coach Q.



Speaking of coaches, seems like Coach Todd may be a Sabres coach with them kicking Phil out.

Draft lottery tonight. Today is the day of riots and the desire to carpet bomb Edmonton if they somehow end up with another #1 pick out of this stupid lotto thing.

I want to quit hockey if somehow the Avs don't get the #1 or #2 but the odds are stacked against them.

Oilers do NOT get the top 3 picks!










This is like winning the Cup for me!

Devils
Rangers
Hawks

Are the top 3 picks. The Sens pick that goes to Denver is #4.

Oilers slide all the way to 8.

So, with Jersey getting the first pick, it's the gift from Edmonton that keeps on giving since Hall was the Devils' lucky charm...


Adam Larsson for Hall, Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes.

Series aren't over by any stretch but next games for Pens and Bolts are must-win or they are ruh-oh!

In coaching moves, it would appear Team Deano Lombardino may be hiring McLellan as the Kings new coach?

Okay, sure.

Kooch has an oops and gets 1 game for the boarding: https://www.tsn.ca/bolts-kucherov-su...game-1.1289930

Bolts better find a way next game. Liking what I'm seeing with the Jackets so far.

Debrusk hits Kadri with knee-on-knee and the latter retaliates by cross-checking the head...

Looks like Kadri is going to sit for a few games as it's an in-person hearing.

It's in honor of one of the snarky topics that got debated in here in days gone by. When it was meaner, more butt-hurting, and loving in here.


Now, it's just a rag-tag group of survivors with not much to laugh about except the Oilers. We always laugh at the Oilers.

What is impressive about the Isles here is that they are doing it with a bunch of "no-names"...definitely does not come close to the superstar power of the Pens with Sid, Geno, Phil, Letang, et al...

Anyways, just reading Bolts are without Hedman to go with Kooch for Game 3. Yikes. Possible we have 2 series that are 0-3 for the favored teams?

The more you look at the Jackets though, the more you see how stacked they are. Had a middling regular season but if their players all can sync...they are scary and may rep the East.

I agree can't believe what is happening in those series. Never saw that happening in either. I picked the lightning to win the cup in my bracket

Yes they have a great roster that I couldn't believe did so bad in the regular season. It is showing now that they are clicking.

I don't know if I would say it sucks. I mean it was a stupid stupid move on his part. He deserves a suspension. I am all for hard hitting playoff hockey. In fact it is the best type of hockey but there is no place for a crosscheck to the head.
