Justin Trudeau?
Justin Timberlake?
Who gives a shit he sucks and so do the Leafs.
love the hate. Keep it going.
Lightning is about to make a big splash.
No idea how they are going to keep all the players. It looks like they are in the go big or go home mentality right now.
If the land Karlson they will be the favorites for the cup I guess..
How the fuck are the Leafs favored to win the cup? Ludicrous!
Damn!! San Jose gets Erik Karlsson. Similar to the Mike Hoffman trade, Sharks owned the Sens once again.

The Senators will receive Chris Tierney, Dylan DeMelo , Josh Norris, Rudolfs Balcers , 2020 first-round pick, a 2019 second-round pick and two conditional picks in return. The Senators also sent AHL player Francis Perron to the Sharks in the deal.
The Sens organization is a fucking joke right now.
Great. Good luck Flames. Gonna get owned by the other EK too lol
The Senators suck, they're going to be the new Edmonton.
The West just got tougher. FML
Vegas game picks up from last year. Silly pace. Non stop chances. Pure entertainment.
I'm at another Knights game now. The Knights organization sure knows how to put on an entertaining show. Love coming here. Need to get a jersey before I come back for another game

Great story with Brian Boyle. Fk cancer.
Duchene and Wideman's conversation about their coaching staff during an Uber ride recorded and uploaded to YouTube
^^ I dont know how i feel about it. I'm sure this kinda off the record conversation happens to every team out there, but the fact that it's the Sens makes it 100X worse.
It'll be interesting to see what happens in Ottawa, I would imagine that that Uber driver most likely had signage posted that he was recording when passengers were present but now the issue is whether or not he had the right to share such footage. Could that driver now be sued by the players in that vehicle? Regardless though, it is now a most uncomfortable situation that team now finds itself in.
Was what they said really that bad?
Nope.
Coach Q is out in Chicago. One of the best coaches all time, I'm sure he won't be out of a job very long.
St. Louis Blues... they love bringing back ex-coaches. Plus they have a solid team on paper.
Can't see a team willing to pay coach Q more than $6M. He's gonna enjoy sitting on a beach collecting his paycheque similar to what Vigneault is doing.
St.Louis makes the most sense.
This guy is so useless. I'm glad he has that contract with the Oilers.
NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafetyEdmonton’s Milan Lucic will have a hearing today for roughing Tampa Bay’s Mathieu Joseph.
Lucic is a giant loser, and that display shows exactly what the extent of his talent is at this level. Gamblin' Pete fucked that team, and he's likely out of the league after this last stint. His trade mistakes have been far too apparent over his career, he's had more loser deals than winners.
I guess I was wrong.
Edmonton Fires Todd Mclean and hires Ken Hitchcock
How long will Chiarelli last?
I just can't see him being around at the start of next season. Oilers are doomed with terrible contracts and sub par players. Sure they have the 'best' player in the world but he needs a supporting cast. Crosby has Malkin, Kessel, Letang etc. Kane and Toews along with Keith, Seabrook Crawford. Ovi has Baclstrom, Oshie, Kuznetsov, Holtby and the list goes on.
nhlshop.ca has 30% off so I ordered an Engelland Vegas jersey :thumbsup:
Thought Hitchcock was going to go 2 for 2, but Oilers went from about to win 1-0 to losing the game in 30 seconds. :rofl:
Laine scores 5 against the Blues, meaning someone has finally won the Safeway Score & Win $1,000,000!
That is fucking awesome!
Amazing amazing ! Whoever won should definitely thank the kid lol
It would be hilarious if the prize money was in the form of gift cards, only redeemable at Safeway/Sobey's :rofl:
If it included the sobeys liquor then we would be talking! Nothing but $1,000+ scotches from now on!
It is cash, he also gets the second and third price which is $250/$1000 iirc in gift certificate at safeway lol

Seattle officially approved as 32nd franchise. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
https://www.tsn.ca/seattle-officiall...hise-1.1220648

SEA ISLAND, Ga. - Say hello to Seattle.
One hundred years after the Stanley Cup resided in the city, NHL hockey is finally coming to the Pacific Northwest.
Commissioner Gary Bettman announced that the league’s Board of Governors voted unanimously to approve Seattle as home to the 32nd franchise with play to begin in October of 2021. The Arizona Coyotes will move then from the Pacific Division to the Central Division to perfectly balance the league with four divisions of eight teams.
The great-grandson of the original owner of the Seattle Metropolitans, who toppled the Montreal Canadiens in 1917 as Stanley Cup champions as members of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, was on-hand to mark history.
Tuesday’s approval by the Board realized the NHL’s long-held fascination with Seattle, a city better known for the Space Needle and Starbucks, which has been without a major professional winter sports team since the NBA’s Supersonics bolted to Oklahoma City in 2008.
Movers and shakers from Seattle first pitched Bettman on the idea in 2007, along with representatives from Winnipeg, Las Vegas, Houston and Kansas City. The NHL sifted through various potential ownership groups and waited out three failed arena projects to find what they believe is the best fit in the United States’ 15th-largest market.
Seattle, located just 110 miles south of the Canadian border, makes for a ready-made rival with the Vancouver Canucks.
“Seattle’s one of the fastest growing cities in the country,” Bettman said in October. “It gives us a geographic balance. It creates a nice geographic rivalry with Vancouver. I know Vancouver’s particularly excited about the possibility. The ownership group, the plans for the arena. It’s all of the above. It’s never one factor.”
Seattle’s ownership is led by billionaire David Bonderman, Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, vice chair David Wright and former Seattle Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke. The Oak View Group, which includes former Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment CEO Tim Leiweke, is also part of the group, along with various minor partners.
The NHL extended an invitation for Seattle to join as an expansion franchise in 1974, but that ownership group could not cobble together the requisite expansion fee by 1976, so the league moved in another direction. That won't be a problem this time around.
Once Seattle’s expansion agreement is executed, they will be collectively responsible for wiring the first payment toward the NHL record $650 million USD expansion fee later this week. That initial payment is expected to be north of $200 million.
When Seattle is officially welcomed to the NHL in 2021 with the Expansion Draft - conducted under the same terms the Vegas Golden Knights used as a launching pad in 2016 - each of the 30 “original” franchises will receive a $21 million cut.
Puck drop is nearly three years away - a reality the Seattle Hockey Partners pushed to avoid - but it was one the group came to recognize on their own. Construction is set to begin on a $600 million gut job of Key Arena, formerly home to the NBA’s Supersonics, later this week which would have pushed the completed target date to late November of 2020.
That was too late for the NHL to feel comfortable guaranteeing a 2020 arrival. It also allows for flexibility in the case of an NHL work stoppage.
Three years is no matter to the fans. Seattle was worked into a lather on Tuesday, with hundreds flocking to a watch party led by longtime NHL coach Dave Tippett in the shadow of the Space Needle. More than 34,000 fans plunked down money on season-ticket deposits last March for an arena with a 17,300 capacity.
Isn't that pretty small?Quote:
arena with a 17,300 capacity.
Anyway, yay. I like this announcement.
It's all about premium and suite seats these days. Much more revenue and price controls with less but better seats than to try to pack 20k people into an arena with nosebleeds.
MTS Center is 15k and it's one of the best hockey arenas I've been to. The smaller size makes the crowd feel that much louder, way more energy in the building.
Any idea what they’ll be called?
Sounders?
The Seattle Green Yellows!

Seattle Baristas?
Seattle goldfish!
Makes sense. It was the pre-original 6 team name at the time and a Stanley Cup was won under that name.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Metropolitans
Sportsnet had the list of 13 names that are registered to the Seattle owner group/group renovating the arena:
• Rainiers
• Kraken
• Evergreens
• Seals
• Emeralds
• Sea Lions
• Sockeyes
• Whales
• Eagles
• Totems
• Cougars
• Firebirds
• Renegades
Seattle Sea Lions? Sounds like an intimidating hockey team.
Rainiers! A natural sponsorship opportunity with Rainier Beer! Make the jerseys match the cans!

Three Canadian teams in the top 5 at this time of year is something I cannot remember, ever. Happy to see Calgary doing well this year also.
I am not a fan of the Leafs either, but still good to see Canadian teams with a strong showing in the standings. WPG is winning, don't know how, but they're winning.
