Ryan Graves just got a penalty for lightly pushing Hague’s face with one hand.

Edit: And this is after Hague gave Graves a small cross check to the back.


Not even surprised considering how the refs have been this year

I could see one of those cities getting a team for sure.


It's an interesting point though. With the popularity of NHL hockey increasing year after year, you gotta think the league will eventually expand to 34 teams. A lot can happen in 5 years, which I think is about the soonest we'll see an expansion, and maybe the CAD is stronger at that point and Quebec or Greater Toronto gets a team to go along with a bigger US city.

Think the NHL hired some of the refs from the nba

The Wild finished above the Lightning in this year's standings.

We all saw that coming.

Well if Minnesota loses their last 2 games they could finish behind the Bolts, but yeah, Minnesota & Florida have been much better than expected.

Looks like Henrik Borgstrom has officially been re-signed by the Chicago Blackhawks.

BREAKING: Sounds like the Canes are working on an extension for Brind'Amour. Some sources tell me that he has been signed, but I have not found anything official yet.

For some reason I didn't find it until now. Still seems nothing is official though.

If he did leave that'd be a huge loss for the Canes, he'd be called a million times if he hit the market. Hope they keep him.

Sadly Dundon has no heart. He's already let Forslund and Chuck Kaiton walk, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens with Brind'Amour. It would be huge news if we get him signed though. If not, he's going straight to Seattle with his old friend Francis.

Why is CF turning from Eichel trades to delusional Rangers trades in like maybe an hour and a half.

Friedman says that it’s very likely that Brind’Amour returns at a number considerably below market value, he’s just waiting for extensions for the rest of his staff to get worked out before he signs his contract.

Looks like some Rangers fans are trying to stir things up.

It'll be nice to see him back. Hopefully he can get to playoff shape in the next week or so, or else they'll be riding Campbell through the playoffs which I don't think will get them very far. It's a great story with how Campbell just completely broke out into a starter, but we all know he's gonna crack at some point.

Well looks like I'm just waiting on Smith, Grubauer, and Petersen. They're my fantasy goalies.

Interesting. Since they're looking for more experienced guys as a replacement, could they hire Gallant?
