Paywall article so can't read the details but this is quite interesting....

 

Blech. Honestly now just hoping we can prolong the series long enough for me to get back from out of country and maaaaybe go to a game

 

this is weird

 

Cmon Edmonton let's score a damn goal

 

I see Edmonton is still okay with unnecessary penalties. You don't need to cross check the bud over and over again after the frickin whistle

 

Bob McKenzie says there was a deal to trade Drouin for Shattenkirk

McKenzie also speculates Drouin may still be dealt

 

That Ottawa goal was beautifully set up

 

So excited for expansion draft. Maybe more than the playoffs itself.

 

Cuba Gooding Jr is going to announce all the players that Vegas drafted from the Atlantic in a small tv bit.

Bet on it.

 

Shero better be ready

gonna be busy that night

 

Bylsma sucks, can't blame Eichel for wanting out

 

why can't that information stay behind closed doors? kinda shitty to say to the media

 

Was expecting Bylsma, surprised Murray is gone.

 

damn, Eichel got his wish quickly lol

 

I understand the firing, but I think Murray could have been a pretty good GM long term in Buffalo. I have no idea how Bylsma keeps getting contracts, though. Buffalo is better with a different coach. I think Murray did a good job in attracting veteran free agents into Buffalo, signing Gionta, Moulson, Okposo, Franson... but I just don't think Bylsma was a very good coach in Buffalo. The team got outplayed 5v5 too often. Overall, whoever takes on the Buffalo job next is going to walk into a pretty decent situation, IMO. The team has a very good core foundation with Eichel, O'Reilly, and Ristolainen. If they can figure out how to tap into the rest of Reinhart's potential, the team could be dangerous soon. I'd imagine they'll be interested in Liljegren at the draft and steal him from the Red Wings, lol.

 

damn. thank eichel lol

 

I need to find someone like Dreger because the dude will always mention Nonis for every GM job. A real love right there.

 

Raffi Torres is at the game supporting the Oilers. They even flew him in and everything.

That's terrible.

 

Sharks are playing safe don't take any chance hockey and it's annoys the heck out of me.

They are getting outshot a ton and sharks broadcast is praising it as shutdown hockey.

 

Brent Burns is gonna win because he is Canadian.

It should be Karlsson though.
