Y'all are going to eat your words when PoMo leads the FloPants to a Stanley Cup. And by your words, I mean you're going to have to print out the entire preview text at 200% scaling and eat the pages. Seriously who is reading all that poo poo - are they getting paid by the word?

I'm sorry Scotty P, I also took Sean Walker in last year's SAS Fantasy Draft and he's finally back after tearing his ACL and MCL in a game against St. Louis last year so clearly someone had to go.

(also the Kings have loads of RHD and the Leafs really could use one and also do something about the whole being ~$2M over the cap thing, unless they're just planning on always having somebody on LTIR)

I'm not sure why he didn't hold out for 2 or 3 years but I guess he decided he's definitely worth less than Barzal for some reason (yes I know that contract is almost all UFA years).

Ah that's right. I guess his leverage is arbitration eligibility and a $9.3MM qualifying cost so... it's not entirely in his control at that point but he's got a lot more leverage to get what he wants or walk

I think he'd be in exactly the same situation with a 2-3 year deal, and with a cap that's supposed to rise more, plus Benn's contract expires in 3 years, so I really don't see how the 4th year helps Robertson at all.

Still a better call than Preds/Sharks. Those two could be in a finals game 7 and I’m not sure any Canadians would care.

One time I tuned in to a Sharks/Golden Knights playoff game in the 3rd period and was about to give up on it because surely the Sharks couldn't make up a three goal deficit but it definitely ended up worth my while.

They would still look unrealistic and out of place and glitch when a player wearing white gets hit at the wrong angle.

It's painful when they cut from the fake rear end off white to a different camera showing real board ads with actual shading and puck marks and text that doesn't gently vibrate.

Meh, it'll be fine, Matthews will score a goal per game in the playoffs because what are the odds his wrist gets busted yet again?

when two goalies get hurt within 12 hours of each other on game day that would be a challenge for most teams (except it’s not because Källgren ended up being fine).

The claim was that the Leafs only have three goalies with pro contracts in North America while being at the 50 contract limit and that is very much not normal.

Triangle penguin is the best penguin. Except the reverse retro has no gray gradient and is strictly worse than the original.

Meanwhile, the Canes' retro jersey is... a slightly different coloring of their most recent and shittiest jersey.

Nick Robertson is cool and good again. Also his skating is wayyy better than it was a year ago. So he's probably just going to get rocked and sent to IR for another few months in the next five games or so.

You'd think Toronto/Tampa will pick it up at some point.

More of a hope than think, at this point. A bunch of eggheads said they still think Matthews will win the Richard again but I'm not so sure that I share their confidence. He's playing well enough but it's unclear if he has lingering wrist troubles and is forcing himself to take one-timers instead of sick wicked wristers.

Also Mark Giordano has not been on for a single 5v5 GA but I'm expecting the defense's mediocre xGA to catch up to them when Samsonov crashes back down to Earth.

Sure, in the same sense that the Islanders squandered Jason Blake's legendary 40 goal season just... approximately 25% less notable.
