LMAO Kenny said this was Tampa's first win at Nissan Stadium. Buccs are 0-4 there against the Titans.

Don’t worry, we don’t need guys like this. We got Jed Ortmeyer and Tanner Glass.

Our skills coach is Mark Ciaccio. A guy that's been here for so long and has gotten by with little results.

Everyone in the front office is Sather's friend or acquaintance.

Johansen was given a 5 min penalty but after review is only 2 minutes for illegal check to the head. I thought all check to the head penalties was a 5 minute major.

I didn’t see what happened but generally if the guy stays down, major, gets up right away 2 min.
 
Oilers have the top 2 point getters since 2018 and haven't been able to put together a decent supporting cast in all that time.
 
West is still very much up for grabs.

With the win against the Rangers Vancouver closed the gap on the Widlcard. They are now 3 points behind Edmonton. There's so much JT miller talk, but are the Canucks really going to sell? They just won 3 in a row, and 5 out of their last 6 games.
Anaheim got shutout to the Isles. 2nd loss in a row for them. They only won 2 of their last 8 games and are now only 1 pt ahead of Vancouver.
The Oil lost to the Canes in Raleigh.
The Stars beat the Sabres so they stay 3 ahead of Vancouver with 2 games in hand.
The Jets also won but they are still 6 pts out.
SJ also won so they are still in the race but still 7 pts out of the wildcard.

Vancouver will have a decision to make in the days before the deadline. Rutherford said the priority is building a contender, not just making the playoffs this year. Does JT fit that timeline? And is he interested in re-signing? I dont think the door is fully closed just yet.

Anaheim/Winnipeg/San Jose should all clearly be sellers.

This is a real issue and always has been. Barry Fraser used to live in Cabo year round. This wouldnt be an issue normally but he was Edmonton's director of scouting and ran their draft.

Their entire mid to late 90s draft runs were predictably abysmal. sather loves his cronies

I think this road trip is big for Vancouver. They beat the Rangers but got plastered by the Devils. If they can win the next two I’m thinking they’re not selling but if not Miller might be moved before they fly back to Vancouver. New management will want to be decisive I think. Just my speculation of course.

well they are a Ruff team. They put up 5 against Chicago but gave up 8 lol.

Yeah, they've given up a shit ton of goals, as well. They've been involved in these high-scoring slugfests, blown out teams, or gotten blown out the last 2 or so months.
