Their play-by-play guy isn't bad. He calls the game and gets the players names right 95% of the time. His goal call can be grating, but so do most after you've heard it 100s of times.

MN has been going with color commentators with ties to the Wild or MN hockey not on actual qualifications or ability. Carter isn't bad, but he's not a top guy by any means. The rest are different levels of trash.

Where do you guys believe Kuznetsov will end up if he's moved and what could WSH get for him?

Flames, Wild and Blue Jackets are the main teams I could see getting him.
I'd say a first and a good prospect.

CBJ or VGK. I don't think CGY or MN want him due to his off-ice issues.

Columbus. Jarmo seems to love the European guys, and they have a massive center problem. Dunno if he's a 1C or not, but he's better than what they have now.

Eugene melnyk be throwing his ice coffee at the wall like pierre dorion after learning the habs can have fans and he cant













because his team is out

1. Minnesota
2. Columbus
3. Vegas
4. Calgary
5. NY Rangers

2nd + prospect

So per George Armstrong, the Blues have discrepancies in Covid test results ( tests they believe are false positive ), they are working with the NHL to ''address'' the discrepancies with more testing

I'm very confused why only in game 6 Mount Royal can have fans

Because regulations in Québec are changing on the 28th.

After the 28th

Now that the regular season's finally over and I'm FINALLY free from school work for this semester, I can update my final award projections as I've done every month here.

Back in April, my picks looked like this



Honestly, my picks are not changing much. I reckon only two of them will change a bit. Here's the picks.

Art Ross: Connor McDavid
- congrats to the man, 105 points in 56 games is extremely impressive.

Maurice Richard: Auston Matthews
- congrats to him as well, 41 goals in 52 games is uncalled for in today's NHL.

Ted Lindsay: Connor McDavid
- this is a given. Players do think he's the best in the sport, and this kind of season is unprecedented in the top level of this sport today.

Hart: Connor McDavid
- it's gotta be McDavid. The guy just doesn't carry Edmonton Oilers, the guy is Edmonton Oilers. The team scored 183 goals last year, with McDavid being a part of 105 of them, meaning he was statistically part of almost 58% of their goals, and most likely even more if we count those goals EDM scored while he was on ice without just having a point there.

Norris: Victor Hedman
- he's just so good. Imo he's the MVP of Tampa, and the best D on the planet. Smooth, solid and sizable player without clear weaknesses, and stats like the guy too.

Calder: Kirill Kaprizov
- I'd want to give some recognition to my man Robertson, but honestly Kaprizov smashed it this year. He comes from KHL as a top player, and remains a top player in NHL as well. Starting from the day 1 he's been the best player in the Wild, and he's a big part of the change why Wild is looking pretty good, not just mediocre like they've always been.

Selke: Aleksander Barkov
- Florida surprised everyone this year, and Barkov himself emerged as a top5 center this year. He played over a PPG game with very nameless wingers and all around carried this team all year. He makes everyone he plays with better and he doesn't have like any single weakness in his game at this moment. Feel like people can't give enough credit for the guy on how good is he.

Vezina: Juuse Saros
- Gotta give respect to this man. He played the second half of the year just ahead of his peers. He was in a class of his own, and he brought Preds from 7th in division to a playoff team almost single handedly. Preds themselves didn't even look that impressive, but Saros did. Especially the stint from the mid-March to the end of April he was absolutely insane.

If you have any opinions on these picks, I'd like to hear it.

The NBCSN commentator of the Bruins-Capitals game is horrible.

“There’s Hathaway on the bench with the rubby stick. Making sure embed got enough grip, grip on the middle of his uh, stick there.”

Like really. Really that’s what you’re going to talk about lol

I agree w everything but the Norris, I think it’s gotta go to Fox as much as it pains me to admit it

I'd probably give it to Fox if NYR had made the playoffs, but that didn't happen this time.

I agree with all of these except the vezina. It should go to saros but it will go to Vasy

Also Jack Hughes snubbed for the Hart

Lol most likely

They'd be selling low on him if they traded him before the start of next season. I don't think his numbers over the last few seasons warrant more than a 1st, especially with his cap hit.

I’d give Vezina to MAF or Vasy

McDavid is the best player in the world, Mackinnon is the best player in the clutch in the world.

Vasy will take it most likely, but I'm betting for an upset. Tampa had the material to win the presidents, NSH shouldn't have even made the playoffs without Saros destroying it on net.

So MacKinnon's the best when it actually matters?

Just a daily reminder Lou Lamiorello traded Devon Toews for two 2nd round picks and then won GM of the year

More Lou Lam slander cuz him trading Toews away lives rent free in my head:

Devon Toews, a dman- 31 points in 53 games
JG Pageau, a center- 28 points in 54 games

This doesn’t take into account Devin Toews’ advanced stats which are apparently incredible. But what is the point I’m trying to make?

Lou trades away Toews for 2 2nds, his contract is 4.1x4
Lou trades for Pageau trades A FIRST AND A SECOND AND THEN SIGNS HIM 5x6

Clearly Lazy Lou has no concept of asset management

And to complete the trilogy of Lou Lam salt posts, now is a good time to remind everyone he spent an actual first round draft choice on Simon Holmstrom whose struggling to do anything in the AHL. The two picks after him were Tomasino and McMichael, both on the path to great nhl careers imo 🙃
