I'll shoot the Leafs if they sign Stamkos. It makes zero sense and goes against everything they've been doing

I bet the Leafs sign him. It doesn't make much sense, but I bet they do. Or at least make a serious run at him.

Oh they probably will

The Isles blew three separate leads last night and lost in OT. Ugh.

Ovechkin will go down in history as the NHL's Dan Marino.

Penguins have invited Shawn Michaels to game 5 to help push on the "HBK" line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino, and Phil Kessel

Making an appearance, because hockey.

Even though I'm of course still happy with the Isles' season...man seeing how the Pens are playing against the Lightning makes me feel a bit sour. The Isles could have taken these Pens and gotten to the finals.

I can't pick a damn winner in either series.

PIT/TB every game has been TO THE WIRE pretty much. Insane.

SJ/STL is ridiculous. Close game 1, two Sharks blowouts, and a Blues buttfucking in game 4.

Love playoff hockey

Jim Benning is so God damn fucking awful. How do the Panthers keep fleecing the Canucks in trades? It's the fucking Panthers!

Ha ha...Tampa Bay lost...nice to see their punishment for 2004 keeps rolling on.

> = )

going for the Sharks on this! Haven't watched much hockey this year, but hoping Big Joe can get himself a cup!

The Canucks have a lot of forwards, but yeah, I dunno how I feel about it either.

Like you could basically keep McCann and just sign Luke Schenn. Not that much difference between Schenn and Gudbranson.

NBA's Warriors-Thunder Game 7 occurring during the same time hurt it a lot. Also didn't help the Warriors are in the same market as the Sharks which took another chunk out of the ratings and viewers.

Fuck let's go San Jose.

I haven't dropped in here since January. Sure doesn't feel like that long.

Anyway, the Pens' defensive play has been excellent. Sullivan is getting all the credit, but I'm pretty sure that Jacques Martin is at least partly to thank for the team's success in shutting down the opposition.

Don't post much anymore but, PENSSSSSSSSSSS

Penguins got a custom WWE belt as a celebration for winning the Stanley Cup this year.

New team could arrive as early as the 2017-18 season.

Even though Quebec City failed to get picked this time, should be a strong contender on getting a team next time the NHL wants to expand.

Leafs get Anderson from Anaheim for the 30th pick and a 2017 2nd.

The Leafs have literally not made a move that I've disliked in over a year.

I don't think they will want a 31 team league for long. They are more than likely aiming for 32.

NHL announced Las Vegas is officially joining the league after next season along with them getting to pick 3rd in every round of next year's draft except the 1st round.

Going to cost the new team around $500 million for the expansion fee.

Habs and Oilers both go and make retarded deals within hours of each other.

And that's why a Canadian team hasn't won in forever.

The PK deal was bad. The Taylor Hall deal was one of the worst trades i've ever seen. In any sport.

Imagine if that had been a Hall for Subban deal...
Although I like Weber

So in the past few days the Oilers have:

Traded Yakupov for nothing
Signed Kris Russell who's fucking horrible for 3.1 million
Signed Kris Versteeg to a PTO since they have no depth on the wing and lost him to the Flames.

He's making Holland look competant

Matthews should just retire after this game.

:y: 6-3 win by the Bs to start the season.

Connor Brown and Mitch Marner with goals. All 6 goals by the Leafs so far have been scored by rookies.

I know this wont matter because they will find a way to fuck it up, but Toronto has some talent.

Not looking so good yet.

Yeah no kidding

1st in the West. Looking good so far....Russell has 3 A's and is +7 in 6 games.... Hard to complain about that, When in the past 10 years has anyone on the team been +7 ever?

Oh give it time.
