Columbus turning around and sending Quick to a division rival is very funny to me.

Let's go Columbus Blue Jackets legend Jonathan Quick, go get you a cup in Vegas, baby.

Vegas slowly but surely acquiring pieces from the LA Stanley Cup teams. First Martinez, now Quick.

I think you Penguins fans are being a bit dramatic about getting a guy who has multiple 60+ point seasons, who was good as recently as last year, for a second rounder.

There's no changing the hivemind's opinion on a player once theyve seen the magical fancystats graphs. Just ask them about Gavrikov despite being a solid 2nd-pair D who kills penalties for a team (in this case, LA).

I think some of the discipline and work ethic that tortorella demanded was important to those couple of runs the Rangers had under AV. His downfall with the Rangers was not realizing he had more talent to work with and to switch from "we don't have enough talent, must block shots and grind" to a system that allowed more freedom, but some of the basic principals he demanded of his players were a good counterbalance to AV's hands off let the players do whatever they want leadership style

He's also the only successful coach virtually the entire time they were in Columbus. The only aberration was the last season when he wanted to leave after the bubble but was convinced to stick around one more year.

Why are they planning on doing more teams when we just finally have a good even number of teams for the playoffs. Arizona will still be a contract graveyard either way.

They probably saw MLS with its hyperactive growth and attitude of "we need all the teams in all the places" and started sweating.

The cannon itself makes no noise, but the flash of the pyro charge it's synced to is real (and can be seen in the rafters if you're in the upper bowl).

They had to tone down the intensity of the explosion as allegedly the trial runs when it was installed rattled the windows in the arena on the concourses.

The front office realizes they need some veteran guys to show the way for the kids, especially with Gus and Jake gone (though Gus wanted to stay and might be able to be had for cheap). This could be that along with getting Johnny friend to play with.

The issue is that Kevin Hayes is not what one in the trade would describe as a "defenseman".

I'm not sure if that makes the goal easier or more difficult to accept but this is where we're at right now

Depends on if you're in a position to actually need the points or if you can live with a good effort in a game you shouldn't have been in but were. 9 times out of 10, I think it would be the former.

(Columbus for outshooting the Sharks 30-11 at one point and holding repeated two goal leads, San Jose for sending the game to OT anyway, and a hilarious overtime where the cynical could believe nobody wanted to win.)

Honestly you should really only be sweating Columbus's remaining schedule. Bedard is Bedard but missing out on the top 3 (maybe top 4 depending on how you feel about Carlsson) is the real danger. Finishing bottom 2 is huge.
