Biggest bunch of faking cry babies I've ever seen, no respect for that bunch of floppers. They are turning this into soccer. I can't believe the refs are letting them blatantly disrespect them as much as they are, show some balls refs, stop buying what they are selling ffs and start handing out diving penalties.

Leon should use the sharp part of his elbow next time imo. Nothing against Barkov, but Florida deserves some attrition.

I think I’m in the minority when I say that I don’t think that Draisaitl hit was all that egregious. Also, it was pretty obvious that Barkov was selling it because he’s a Panther.

Yeah, the best defensive forward in the game faked his injury when his team was protecting a 1 goal lead in a SCF game...

Panthers team is not likeable, but c'mon.

Surprise surprise. Another panther miraculously recovers after being within an inch of their life.

FL scored the third goal 2 min later immediately following the PP. Prob just concussion protocol.

I’d be willing to bet a large sum that Barkov would have been back in the game had Florida not managed to extend the lead. Well never know though.

Unbelievable. I feel like Vegas is the Undertaker of the salary cap. Every time they seem down... DONG!

 

[NYR94]

It's being reported that Laine wants a fresh start with another team.

This sounds like the ultimate Islander move.

Tired - Vegas needs to figure out the cap implications with moves like this before CapFriendly goes down
Wired - While writing this joke, Mark Stone went on LTIR and won't be back until the 2025 playoffs.

Fast forward to June 14th, 2025: Steve Dangle's head explodes on a Youtube livestream as Vegas captain Mark Stone hands Mitch Marner the Stanley Cup.

Marner on Vegas i think would be sick. is it worth losing theodore, marchessault, etc?

not sure

I bet you it’s something non-major and boring like announcing a new executive or something

I think it was Steen being named in the FO somewhere. So, yeah, boring.

They should follow the Caps' lead and announce they're buying a web site like hfboards.

 

[Siddi]

Yup! Alexander Steen is going to step in as the new GM 2026.

 

[SA16]

Yup! Alexander Steen is going to step in as the new GM 2026.

Should go well given his main qualification is that he was a player for the Blues for 13 years.

Warsofsky officially announced as the new head coach of SJ
SJ's PK was really good under Warsofsky's tutelage and he was considered one the top coaching candidates across the league. The only surprise here is how long they took to make the announcement. Like I wonder if they interviewed a lot of other coaches just to brain drain their perspectives and get free consultancy.

Sharks make assistant Warsofsky new head coach

The San Jose Sharks have promoted Ryan Warsofsky to become the team's new head coach after two years as an assistant under recently fired David Quinn.

Trouba & Kakko for Laine and a 2nd.

Trouba & Kakko for Laine and a 2nd.

laine with retention. 5m per.

laine with retention. 5m per.

I was half kidding with that post but if the trade gave us that much cap space, sign me up.

not sure

If that falls through or Marner goes somewhere else/stays in Toronto I'd dangle Panarin.

We have no use for Thompson, but I'd take a few of their middle tier forwards+Theodore.
