I don’t know what’s worse with this crew - picking first or picking third? Malhotra is a reach at 3rd. I see solid skill, but nothing dynamic. With a pick that high, you don’t look for a projectable pro floor - which is more Malhotra’s strong suit than anything else. More Kirby Dach than Leo Carlsso ...

Gentle contact in traffic. Catch a rut. Fall awkwardly. Helmet slips a bit as the chin strap pops loose. Shoulder hits the ice. The audible sharp crack of a puck popping off the defense's stick. A blinding pain behind the left ear as the occipital bone fractures, spraying fragments into the ...

JR might be egotistical enough to think he has a duty to hand the reins to capable hands - oblivious to his hand in creating this mess. Egotism must be it. Can't go down without some connective tissue to what success his successor may earn. Just bring in Johnson, RJ can perform what mind-meld he ...

Take Rutherford’s word for what it is - and I can be persuaded to believe that it’s bullshit - but his comments about Hughes wanting out of Canada do fit the Matt Tkachuck/Johnny Gaudreau mould. To UDubs’s assertion about the role the shit management and team moves played into it, I would say both co ...

In typical Geriatric fashion, we've known through the media for days, early reports came weeks ago, that Alvin would be gone at season's end. bruce, bo, jt, quinn ... the list goes on I was thinking that last night Tops. But this time it looks like it was Allvin who spilled the beans. First to ...

Until ownership changes, the Karma will remain with this club. The selection will send a message: If it’s one of the Sammy-makers, then we know it will by the Old Fart running the show; Situation - no change. If it’s an outside hire, they may be groomed to take the Old Fart’s job as GM/POHO or strai ...

At least the Dickless Swede isn't wasting a useful womb...

If Demko bounces back and can play a full season he will give us a chance to win every game. But in three years when his contract is up we need to have a replacement ready to go so we have time. Demko could very well fuck up a proper rebuild if he gets back consistently healthy and wins some games ...

Not too worried about G, yet. See if that Russian can rebound from a disappointing season. Apparently he was rocking it as the #1 until some point in mid-season when the wheels fell off. Haven't seen any explanations for it. On the plus side, he's played better in the playoffs, getting in two games ...

Added an assist.
He played well and saved a goal early.
Looks like an NHLer to me.

Kudryavtsev looks like a puck-moving bottom-pairing kid. That’s not a slag.

Yeah, the Wild can bow out in the 1st round. Hope they get run through in 4.

Colorado looks like the team to beat.

Ottawa and Montreal won’t go too far, but they’ll be entertaining to watch.

Nah. Buium gives some attachment vibes. I think Bieksa did a good sell job on the kid. He seems to be gelling well with the other young D-men.

He’s feeling it tonight.

Bluegers is not an obvious choice for Captain, but he’s one of the better options out there. Has always played the right way, capable 3rd-/4th-liner. Not a big personality, but he has a ring and experience playing with winners like Crosby. He also wants to stay - even after management was u ...

Not a surprise to us, but painfully damning all the same. If the rankings are based on this season, it’s the result of an organization starting the season trying to get to the playoffs to entice their star to stay, then transitioning to a (full?) rebuild mid-season. Hard for agents to see a plan f ...
