So the Penguins played a televised exhibition game last night. Split into a white team and a black team and played with themselves. So if you ever wanted to know what it looks like when a hockey team masturbates, there was your answer.

And, seriously, Penguins. They're unstoppable over a 4 month period.

Leafs deal Lombardi and waive Connolly.

I HATED Lombardi. Completely useless, terrible on face offs and didn't backcheck. Connolly just isn't what the team needs. They have a bit of a log jam at center, so he had to go. Too small and fragile.

Better move for the Bs than Islanders.

Freed up $5 million in dead cap space and on paper got an extra draft pick for someone they had no desire to retain.

Islanders do benefit from being able to reach the cap floor and don't have to pay Thomas salary for this year. No real loss if he doesn't play next year.

Better move for the Bs than Islanders.

Freed up $5 million in dead cap space and on paper got an extra draft pick for someone they had no desire to retain.

Islanders do benefit from being able to reach the cap floor and don't have to pay Thomas salary for this year. No real loss if he doesn't play next year.

The Blackhawks are amazing. They've only played 2 games at home. Havent lost at all. Patrick Kane is the leading the way for the Hart Trophy. He made an unreal spinning backwards pass in traffic, centered it for Shaw and Shaw nearly put it in. It would have been one of the greatest plays i've ever seen if the goal went in, but Rinne made the play.

I will say this, the Devils are quietly really really good ....again. Even after losing Parise. Impressive.

Shaw, Stahlberg and Saad, ( especially Saad ), are whats gunna make the Hawks a legit dynasty as long as they get it done in the playoffs. I still feel like they're missing some muscle. Shaw has stepped up as a bit of an enforcer, even though he's not. Obviously missing Carcillo hurts. I keep thinking about that Canucks game. Vancouver man handled the Hawks that whole game, but the Hawks pulled points on sheer ability. I'm a tad worried about that, but that's a very small worry right now. This team is on fire. And now they're finally getting a home game. Really excited.

NHL considering another playoff structure plan once the next realignment occurs.

Before it was rumored the initial plan was just 4 divisions with only conference winners going on to the playoffs.

The new plan would keep the 16 team format but change everything else. Still have just 4 divisions but now locks 3 playoffs spots per division (6 per conference) with the extra 4 spots being treated as "wild cards" and based on records (2 per conference). Those wild card teams can only play against the division winners regardless of their actual records.
