Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

The Utah Mammoth look like the love child of the Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche. But they’re going to go on Jerry Springer to try and figure out if the Seattle Kraken might actually be the dad.
I like their logo but I find their team name corny for some reason. It’s fine for minor leagues like the ECHL/AHL but completely unfit for the NHL, the best professional hockey league on earth.

Leafs remain the only perfect team at home in the playoffs in round 2. Dallas beats Winnipeg 3-2 in Game 1.

Home ice advantage means very little these days, and I'm not sure how to take it. Not too far back you'd be lucky to walk away with a split from the home team's barn, thrilled in the rare chance you stole both. Nowadays a split is almost expected, and winning both isn't uncommon.

To me it kind has cheapened and taken the aura out of home ice advantage, but that comes with the territory of wanting league-wide parity.

That is what a $12m player looks like. 14 points in his last 4 games and B2B hat tricks playing with Hintz. Incredible.
Can't believe some people are actually satisfied with 1634 being the "defensive specialists". You can be defensively responsible while still providing offense like Kopitar or Stevie Y did during their cup runs.

Funny I was called out for calling him our $13.5m Danault in round #1 and last night the guy on the radio said, we are not paying him $13.25m to be Danault.
