Laine with his 11thr goal in 17 games on a 98mph PP rocket (10 of his goals are PP). There were a bunch in here that wanted to get him in a cane uniform…so far Canadians are really happy with him.
Finnish Forward Freddy? I’d take him on the Canes if he can play a full season.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
I think in this day and age, Vegas would be a "destination market", big or small in that case doesn't really matter.
I mean the two Florida teams being good at the same time opened that door for them too.

This is why you should always befriend your nearby squirrels. Just. In. Case. I put out walnuts regularly.

Because both Vegas and the Florida teams have outside factors that make living there worthwhile. Even if the team sucks, you get to enjoy the Florida weather. Even if the team sucks, you’re living still in Vegas.

Funny sequence in the St. Louis/Utah game tonight. Utah’s Liam O’Brien is a known fighter in the league. He has 37 fights in 208 games played. So, unsurprisingly, he’s looking for a fight in a 0-0 game against St. Louis rookie defenseman, Tyler Tucker.
They line up for a faceoff at the right circle in the Utah zone. Puck is dropped, O’Brien drops his gloves and flings away his stick…and Tucker shoots the puck into the net as the one guy that was supposed to be pressuring the point off the faceoff dropped his gloves and flung away his stick.
The two then fought on the resulting faceoff at center ice.

Tampa is a big city with 3.3m in the metro. Florida is located in a smallish town but between Lauderdale and Miami that’s a big population too

Yeah the 3 most populous counties in Florida are in reach of Sunrise, FL where the Panthers Arena is. Miami-Dade is south and has ~2.7 million, Sunrise is in Broward County (~2 million), and Palm Beach County is north and has ~1.5 million. Longest drive should be 2 hours in traffic for those 3 counties if things haven't changed much since I left in 2015.

Jackets/Sens/Canadiens currently in the WC/last out, cool to see these teams turn a corner in their rebuilds. Oof to last place in the East Buffalo.
Dobes made some unbelievable saves in OT.
Hadn’t seen him before but he looked good. Big goalie drafted in 2020 5th round.

Why? So you can judge his skills? Just take his word for it

The Panthers were not a destination market outside of certain UFA guys at the twilight of their careers when they sucked. If Vegas was a bad team, a similar fate would've awaited them.

Stranger Things better happen before the kids all turn like 40, am I right???
