Looks like Caggiula has chosen Edmonton.

Didn't take long for Trump to find a new target: @realDonaldTrump Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if she is Native American. I say she’s a fraud!

AHL news: With Arizona moving their Springfield franchise out west to Tucson, the Florida Panthers announced they are moving their affiliate from Portland, Maine to Springfield. Sucks for Portland, where the public funded $34 million for arena renovations just 2 years ago.

Doubt that if it's Hillary. Even it it was Trump, if 'W' could get reelected, anything is possible. Tow truck Trump supporter refuses service to stranded Sanders supporter. http://www.syracuse.com/us-news/index.ssf/2016/05/donald_trump_tow_truck_driver_ditches_bernie_sanders_supporter.html#incart_m-rpt-1

Good news isn't a ratings winner, and people that are doing well or like the direction of the country don't usually speak up as much as those that aren't or don't like the way the country is changing. So the perception doesn't match the facts. With the economy, voters need to be reminded what it was like in 2007-8.

You're right, I misread the article I got the number from. Bernie will point out the number of states he's won, but that doesn't equate to population, votes, or delegates. With his win in Indiana, where non-Democrats were allowed to vote for a DINO to determine who the Democrat nominee should be, he only picked up +6 delegates.

I agree Bernie needs to look at the math; even if he got 100% of remaining delegates he can't get the majority of pledged delegates. And to try to convince super delegates would be hypocritical after complaining about him. Time to send Jane home to find those missing tax returns. Bernie would never be her VP pick. Tim Kaine is from Virginia, speaks Spanish, has foreign policy experience, was former chairman of the DNC, and from a state with a Democrat governor who would appoint a Democrat to replace him in the Senate. There will be some Bernie supporters who will act against their own best interest and not vote, but I expect many will be reasonable and realize Hillary is the much better alternative to Trump.

Trump would love to get a woman and/or minority; Nikki Haley, Rubio, or Joanie Ernst. Christie doesn't bring much as far as swing state appeal, but he's the fallback if no one else loses their self-respect. Won't be Warren, she'd turn off moderates and two women would be a bridge too far. Clinton can win without the Bernie voters who haven't voted before. The top contenders are Tim Kaine and Tom Perez.

I'm suprised Cruz dropped out tonight after Trump just slandered his father, for no other reason than to deny Trump the satisfaction. I thought he would take it to California. Will anti Trump republicans now coalesce around Kasich as an alternative for the convention?

I find the McDavid selection the hardest to justify. He missed a good portion of the season, and therefore was rested when he returned. If Eichel had that time off to recover, perhaps his points per game would have been higher. They shouldn't reward someone based on potential. Eichel played the whole season and should have been recognized for what he actually did.

I'm all for interest free loans for college, for all expenses not just tuition, but you have to begin paying them back when you get a job after graduation. No free rides, the student should have some skin in the game so they take it serious and not just a four year vacation.

No, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal would have been worse. I think Detroit will go hard to replace Datsyuk.

Only Canadian teams get rewarded for tanking.

At least Edmonton dropped to 4th. Let's go Columbus!

I predict the Sabres will drop to 9th, and will pick a defenseman at the draft.

Patrick Laime is a bit freaky looking, like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.

My draft preference would be 1. Buffalo 2. Arizona 3. Columbus Screw the Canadian teams, and get Arizona to trade up to get Matthews.

When the young better two-way talent makes the team, I see Larrson and Foligno playing 4th line with DLo, and Girgs playing 3rd with two better wings.

John Vogl: Johan Larsson's one-year deal is for $950,000, a nice bump from $800,000.

He's no better than a third line center, which when the team is healthy is where Girgs should play. So hopefully Tim can flip him for a pick at the deadline if not in the playoffs, or a short term vet if they are.

I never realized the proper etiquette was to take your shoes off before slamming a car door. I've been doing it wrong my whole life.

Listening to Preds radio broadcast. Pete Weber said, "It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your children are?". Then mentioned Irv Weinstein.

Check out the rack in pink behind the Hawks bench.

Isles keep getting away with interference whenever Florida chips it behind the D.

I'd love to see the battle of Florida next round. Too bad the Isles are screwing it up. It would be nice for Lindy to win, but I can't bring myself to root for Dallas. Anybody but Dallas in the west.
