Penguins looking rough in game one. Rags are a top team though.

Pens roster is among the thinnest on W in the league and might have 2 defensive D at most. Dubas's best move this season was somehow convincing Sid to stay.

Crosby is just playing his career out. Guy has 3 cups and probably just wants one more crack at the Olympics to end his career.

At least with the extension, there won't be talk about him moving on from Pitt. He's content.
But, it's a bummer that we won't see him in the PO before he retires.

Oilers Stink in the first half, Oilers fire their Coach, and Oilers go on a run…… rinse and repeat every year

The Oilers are great entertainment.

Patrick Kane's career success is inextricably linked to the Hawks drafting Toews, Seabrook and Keith. It remains an open question as to whether this current version of the Hawks can bring together a similar caliber of talent. If not, Bedard will be in tough to even come close to Kane's accolades.

That said, it's my recollection that Bedard wasn't really being compared with Crosby or McDavid, that he was more of the next step down - McKinnon, Matthews.

Bedard is an exceptional status player who had better PPG than Mcdavid in junior and international play on worse teams. And he was being compared to Crosby and McDavid. Because he's at that level.

Track record in Car wasn’t great but he was given a pass due to Karmanos being cheap. With money in Sea hasn’t really done anything. Or committed one way or another. No state tax like LV but big money moves leave something to be desired.

WA doesn't have state income tax but they do have high taxes in other areas like property taxes and sales tax that balances it out. Seattle is a pretty expensive city to live in (granted many live in the suburbs outside of Seattle).

NHL postponed the Car at TB game on Sat. Wonder when the Canucks will be notified whether their game in TB on Tuesday is a go or not. TB is home to Car, Van, LV before going on the road.

Can they make up 3 games at the end of the year? Or does the NHL make the call to have them play in Sunrise or somewhere else instead if it's not logistically possible to make up the games without dipping into their mandated 5 days off or ASG break.
