You almost have to respect the league for committing to the bit at this point

There is but one answer to this question.

The answer is absolutely no one else but our very own Carolina Hurricane, Jalen Chatfield

Disagree? Fight me

Yea this is so f***ing stupid at this point, fans ALREADY TOLD YOU who they wanted, and you ignored them and picked everyone they didn't vote for...I hope this thing gets 0 votes

I know it will never happen but until the media calls the league out face to face it will never change. Im mean TNT should set up an interview with Bettman, and since no one like Biz as it is have him do the interview and halfway though go " Hey Gary the whole world knows you ignored the fan vote to put in guys you wanted, care to comment?"

That would be some tv worth watching!

What really happens during NHL intermissions? The naked truth

Players rest and recharge between periods of NHL games, but some resort to superstitious bathroom breaks or unusual, um, icy tactics.

Its a good one. Hurricanes are used. Necas with a good jab on Raanta.

Well, that's what Tulsky looks like to me.

That's good stuff. The Athletic is at its best when it gets behind the scenes like that.

Keep this article in mind when people complain about one coach being better at "adjustments" than another. It's rare in this sport that an in-game adjustment has some dramatic impact. The coach has literally a minute or so, twice a game, to give the players a few pointers. The rest of that 18 minutes they're peeing and drinking Red Bulls and what not.

Saw this on Reddit.... Looks like someone is getting a new goalie mask, and very likely a Stadium Series one-off

Speaking of new goalie gear....

He should consider bubble wrap.

Koochie needs a new set of pads that help cover his 5-hole a bit better

Good stuff, looks like they got some quotes from the last couple teams to visit the Wild. The jumping in a chilling tub naked shocked me, I had no idea guys would find time for that. I do get the appeal, though. Nice way to keep from getting overheated.

The ultra soft variety the regular might be too rough

It just immediately made me wonder how quickly those tubs get turned over to new ice water after some sweaty naked dudes be jumping in them.

i hope boston crashes so hard in the playoffs, even if it’s tampa again. Those tears will be delicious

I really like the design, and it does seem to confirm what we more-or-less know about the jerseys.

Same guy who did Markstrom's mask, which is by far and away the sickest in the NHL this year:

I just hope that I don't wind up having to root for the Leafs.

i feel better about beating Toronto than TB or Boston in a ECFs. Go Leafs!

So do I, but I want both Boston and Toronto to lose in the 1st round. Boston because they're a threat and Toronto because hubris must have its reward. If that means rooting for Tampa, so be it.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Much like I said with Florida last season, I think the Bruins are an outstanding team, and I'd still take Tampa in a series over them.

Meh, it'll be like Dallas in the NFL playoffs this year. They'll get by Boston and start hanging up mission accomplished banners over town talking about how its inevitable they conquer the league only to flame out spectacularly in the 2nd round to a team that was trying its hardest to beat itself.
