The Swiss just got reinforcements with Hischier and Sigenthaler. Hischier ties it at 1.

Yes, BC boy.

Krebs playing on a grind line with Lucic and Sammy Blais. Quinn with Laughton and Crause.

Kelly Hrudey pointed out that Howwden clipped his pad on the way by, causing him to spin around.

The depth would be awesome but I doubt Boosh sits in the press box for a big chunk of the season. Two new contracts would probably mean having their 7&8 Dmen on league minimum deals.

I jinxed Winnipeg.

Winnipeg and Seattle at 0-0 after 53 minutes. Unusual for two high scoring teams.

Those two young Dmen will bring some offense and help them sign FAs because they are on ELCs but they have a lot to learn about playing D. One of Graves or Severson would be a solid addition. Both would probably mean having to move Joki or Boosh.

Two Devils Dmen are UFAs, Graves and Severson.

Can I call him the Russian Mule?

Doesn’t seem to be any animosity between them either. That will probably come. It’s not like they don’t know each other.

I’d be OK with Milic as a later round pick. He’s ready to turn pro, nothing left to prove in junior and he’s aged out. He’s won World Junior gold. The old story of small (6’) goalies will keep suites away.

I know, a slight technicality.

I think the stones I throw in here don’t reach Leaf Nation. Their Cup drought is longer than ours.

How many anvils to the head before Bettman feels it?

Russian teammate for Kisakov and Neuchev.

That is great news! This guy could be a 4-5 Dman in a few years. You don’t know unless you try.

I was in Edinburgh a few years ago and had to sample some whiskey. I am not a whiskey drinker but I figured it would be the right thing to drink while there. It was good.

Verhaege is very underrated in my opinion. He does it all as a winger. Good health is another reason. Florida has not had any significant injuries that I am aware of.

Kyle, thank you for adding extra years to the ongoing streak of playoff mediocrity.

I would rather watch them golf than play the all star game.

If I was invited, I would try to go once. 16 day springtime tournament in a nice European city. The pressure doesn’t start until the playoffs, for the top teams.

If the finals are Dallas vs Carolina one of Pavelski/Burns will get their first Cup. Two old Sharks still have some teeth.

Enjoy the rest of the game, I’m out.

Savoie showed some speed on that shorthanded breakaway.
