If you bitch about not having a championship within the past decade then everything counts including regular season attendance, GDP of your city, pop culture references, and potential links back to european royalty

Yeah that's around where I thought it would be. Some hockey writer on twitter was pointing out a while ago that the McDavid contract being so high was going to set the bar really high for 2nd-tier first liners, and Johansen was the first test of that.

Johansen is 24 years old and a first line centre. It's high, perhaps, but not absurd.

Na, gotta start negotiating somewhere and the McDavid deal raised the effective (rather than theoretically allowed under the CBA) ceiling.

That's a lotta money, but he earned it. Another good example of giving a player his massive deal in his mid-20s rather than his late 20s.

This is the most interesting result of the survey. Remember that just four teams are less confident than the public and one of those teams happens to be the team in 29th, and it’s by the largest margin too. The other fun fact? Detroit had the second largest group of fans in the survey, and boy are they pissed. Of all the fan bases, they have the least amount of confidence in what Ken Holland and co. are doing.

The game Paul Maurice gets tossed is pretty good. Think it ended 6-5 and also when Little broke his back

Last year was a wash but the final day of the season in 2015-2016 when Benn scored the empty netter then assisted on Daily's goal is a good watch. You only really need the last ten mins of the period.

I don't remember if it was actually a good game but the box score for Preds - Jets on March 13 looks pretty good. Lead changes, 9 goals, a fight, OT.
