People will soon recognize that he is a better, more dynamic player than Makar now that he is in Minnesota. It's always been true, but hasn't been recognized, and no effort was made here by the team, the fans, or the media to correct this slight. Nevertheless, he was prepared to be a superstar out ...

Absolutely. Why was he obliged to stick around a historically awful outhouse fire of a franchise?

He would have had to have been an idiot not to get out.

The still makes it look like he must have clipped his head with his elbow/arm.

It wasn't an act, clearly.

Let's go Birch Leaves.

Get er done!

Oh, for sure.

That’s why I don’t think it was deliberate on Gudas’ part. I suspect Doc was there on the ice and nudged Gudas’ knee in the intended direction.

From the Daily Hive: "The trade deadline commenced last Friday, but don’t tell that to the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers. Both teams announced on Friday that they had made a deal, with the Oilers sending centre Jayden Grubbe to the Canucks in exchange for winger Josh Bloom. Trades can still ...

From the Daily Hive: with the Oilers sending centre Jayden Grubbe to the Canucks. Nice to get a RS Centre into the system. He looks like a bit of a longshot as his stats are kinda meh in the minors. Oh well, give him a couple yrs in Abby and then see what we have. And Boeser. He has been hot since ...

Augie and Doug



RIP Augie

Oh, for sure.

Geez, Radlko Gudas just destroyed Auston Matthews' knee deliberately. That was ugly. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/maple-leafs-matthews-exits-after-gudas-ejected-for-knee-on-knee-hit/ Disagree. Not deliberate.

His skating, stickhandling, passing... it's not terrible.

He was a pretty good AHL center. I saw quite a bit of him watching Abby.

We're loading up on Russians according to that. I think it is literally just the same players in the same order every time with the teams varying by standings and simulated lottery outcome. I wouldn’t put much stock into any mock draft, but this isn’t even that (where someone attempts to draft “as” ...

Rutherford and Allvin will be looking for more European softness this summer.
