Calgary clinches a playoff spot, and their owner Ken King decides it's a good time to pull the classic "Build me a new arena or the team moves"

quote:

"There would be no threat to move, we would just move, and it would be over. And I'm trying my level best to make sure that day never comes, frankly," King said during an interview on Sportsnet Fan 590 in Toronto on Wednesday.

"If people smarter than us in more powerful positions than ours don't feel that we're a critical piece of the social, economic and cultural part of our city, then who are we to argue with that?"

First Karlsson flying into Detroit to take warm up and then deciding to play (and score) last night, and now this, 2 hours before puck drop?

If they don't get Patrick or Hischier I feel like Liljegren is the next best player in the draft. He had mono this season which hurt his draft stock a lot, but that's not like Patrick's groin injury where it might be a long-term concern.

Patrick missing half the season plus the WJCs with injuries killed a lot of buzz for this draft. His coach in Brandon saying that the team that drafts him needs to be patient with him doesn't help either

Or maybe the last 2 drafts have spoiled us

This run owned, hopefully Vegas is tricked by how good Bobby was in the playoffs and snags him in the draft. Also hopefully Karlsson will be tricked by the run and re-signs here long term.

Terrified of the moves GM of the Year Finalist Pierre Dorion will make this summer. Please don't touch Chabot or White :smith:

Wonder what the hell happened after Game 7

WaPo posted:

As for the “internal stuff” MacLellan referenced, he said “some stuff has come up that I obviously need to hold people accountable for and make changes going forward both on the players’ side and on the coaching side.” When pressed for specifics, MacLellan said certain details were exposed after the team lost to the Penguins “that need to be addressed,” but “I can’t publicly come out and say, ‘Here’s the deal, here’s who I’m going to hold accountable, here’s what they need to do better and if it doesn’t get done, then we need to make changes.’ It doesn’t make sense for me to publicly disclose that.”

The Preds are either about to trade one of their 4 good defensemen to somebody that can protect him or are going to give Vegas a pile of goodies not to take one, right?

This prompted me to take a look at the Preds roster, and who the hell is Calle Jarnkrok's agent? 6 years at $2mil/yr when you're 24 seems really bad, those are your prime years to cash in

This photo makes me laugh so hard. I'm just imagining that the Pens parade is just Justin Shultz getting tanked while walking in shorts and a jersey.

Hahah the goddamned people cheering this dude public drinking completely out of context.

The Pens winning the cup sucked, but was worth it just for the entire team being juiced as hell at the parade and all the gifs of it on twitter. Dumoulin shotgunning a beer with his teeth, Maatta being so drunk he had to be held up by a guy for half the parade, Kessel signing a baby, "you sign it I chug it"

Do you think this has anything to do with him making $1 mil next year in actual salary?

Sucks that Hossa is done hockey, but really, why even introduce the cap recapture penalty
