Look, I'm not a data scientist or anything, but it feels clear that something happened around 10 or so games ago that flipped this team on its head.

It's just time for Trouba to be a third-pairing D. And I really wonder if the reason he isn't is that Gus-Schneider supports the forechecking pressure provided by the Wennberg unit so much better than Trouba's chucking. He really needs to get to rights and simplify his game, fast, or we're going to be blown the fuck away on rushes against.

I think his return for the playoffs would be a colossal boost to our team, but I share your fears. If he's back on the ice, he better be good and ready, and certain that he understands just how serious another head injury could be.

I know I can't be the only one thinking about how hilarious it's going to be to see the Jets leave Winnipeg for Arizona again.

Rempe's been doing the Kill Bill punch training. He will punch right through Noah Dobson's helmet and laugh when he does.

Eric Lindros' dad never played for the Flyers.

An angry Rangers team. A desperate, beaten, Flyers team. Recipe for a beatdown. Trivia is Pavel Brendl

Salt Lake City is the frontrunner for the 2030 Winter Olympics, which would come with a significant renovation to the arena they built for the 2002 Olympics or a brand new arena as the single highest priority. The host city decision will be made in late July.

Because they've never been properly supported by Phoenix and a market with 5 million people - largely northern transplants - with a GDP of nearly half a trillion dollars and one of the top 10 tv markets in the USA is wildly attractive. It's too big an opportunity to be worried about a few million dollars here and there for the NHL. In the scenario above, the Muerelo group would sell the team to Ryan Smith for more than twice the value of the franchise, and then Muerelo would pay a nearly billion dollar expansion fee to REJOIN the league. Follow the cash, my dude.

Yeah. This is happening. Between the Scottsdale mayor coming out fully against it, the known cash shortage of the Coyotes, the unsustainable Mullet Arena situation, and the clear love the NHL has for Ryan Smith? I'd almost be more surprised if they're in Arizona.

Should do some WWE shit at the draft with this. The Draft is June 28. The auction is June 27. If the Yotes lose the auction, have Ryan Smith casually walk to the podium to make the Coyotes pick. Wait, what's this? He's wearing an NHL jersey that's completely new? Wait, the Coyotes logo is fading out and there's a logo matching the jersey on the board? Why's Karl Malone here!?

Completely intentional on Trocheck, malicious and intentional on Zibanejad. The first is indisputable, the second is because the Islanders have mastered the art of seeing out of the backs of their heads and are threatened by the deep human connection Mika shares with his teammates.

Only if they bring Junior Mints into the OR

It's theater. Laviolette does this from time to time. He knows that he can own the narrative, and he knows he's got another game with these guys coming up, and he wants to win it. Just getting the guys fired up.

And they gave Trocheck a misconduct too.

Trocheck is so under the Islanders skin right now. He's like the COVID vaccine half of them didn't get.

He'll be back in a week. At this point, I could watch him literally lose a foot on the ice and I'd expect him back on Tuesday.

When is the NHL going to investigate the obvious talent theft Goodrow's committed?

Bad for a hockey game, fantastic for a bakery

Even for you, Brooksie, woof. The cherry-pickers union genuflects to you alone. On a related note, some farmers are very angry.

Oof, I'm sorry. Was it before they invented the topical cream and the remedy was still a half-pound suppository?

The good Aho is on Carolina. They have bizarro Aho
