Remember when the Leafs traded Kessel and everyone was like "they didn't even get Pouliot/Maata for him?!?" and now it turns out that they were all bad

Still gonna be a little bit sad when Vegas takes Rychel in the expansion draft though

Guys, guys...the Jackets could be in the playoffs this time tomorrow. :ohdear:

Torts is FUCKIN' PISSED AS HELL GOD DAMNIT :ramsay: :fuckoff: and he's got a point because the only penalties to come out of this were coincidental roughings:

Speaking of tity defensemen, what are the pens even going to do with pouliot? He was a major contributing factor on 3 of the goals against last night, and he's just such a defensive liability with seemingly no upside. I mean he's only getting played because we have I think 4 regular defensemen hurt, but you have to figure there's another D down in WBS that can play over him.

What an awful draft pick.

He stinks, but they should probably hold onto him as long as possible and hope for the best. It's not like he has any trade value.

Dumo didn't really break in until he hit 23-24, so there's still some hope I suppose.
Not much but...

I feel like he tops out as a 7th/PP specialist (on another team)

The Blues schedule the rest of the season is laughably bad:

ARI-COL-VAN-CGY-ARI-ARI-COL-NSH-WPG-FLA-CAR-COL

I really don't see any way they miss the playoffs with that schedule.

The winning percentage from the opponents of all those games combined is 39.5%. It's almost impressive how easy a schedule the Blues have been given.

A bit late to this, but although the Kings are more than likely to miss the playoffs, they still have 3 games against Calgary and 3 against Edmonton left. So in theory if they win all 3 games they have in regulation against Edmonton or Calgary then they'd only be 2 points behind Edmonton (even number of games) or 3 points behind Calgary (with LA holding a game in hand). But even then they'd need some help to pass one of the two teams.

That's my local team. Their coach sometimes plays in the A league here in the summer.

I don't go to their games really but I did hear from a teammate about this. The SPHL is a pretty physical league with lots of fights.

I know the answer to this question, but I hope for the Stars' sake Justin Peters isn't part of their goaltending plans, because he just registered an 8.5 on the MAF scale in a Cleveland Monsters game. :laffo:

Sundqvist just got injured by being boarded at the end on an AHL game with no penalty because the AHL still insists that one referee works. I'm glad the injury curse includes the minor league Pens as well.

Its the price you must pay for denying the Sharks their first Cup. Crosby is saving his season ending injury for the first game of the playoffs.

I'm waffling between CBJ and Preds for my west team this year. At the same time I actually don't care that much so I'll see which team emerges victorious.

And hopefully gets crushed by the Habs in SCF. Whatever, let a man dream.

It's done 4-man starting at Junior B in Canada, I was pretty sure AHL is 4-man as well.
