Pretty sure Nashville's not going anywhere. The article is about expansion, not relocation..

Short, but interesting article about Red Kelly. Personally, I love reading the stories where the owners/managers/coaches traded people because they were mad at them. Haha. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/red-kellys-high-road-to-redemption/

You're a girl. Girls don't poop. Therefore, this statement is impossible.. or is it? /mind blown edit: wait.. you never said 'light YOUR turd'..

Don't they all?

Dreger: Haven't scoured twitter...maybe this is out there. Washington, Florida and Carolina have all contacted Barry Trotz.

da fuq? hahahaha He read your mind.. or you read his.. Today, Laviolette was able to explain for himself how his preferred style of play should bring more goals to the Predators. “My system has been successful for many years. Primarily, instead of having one guy forward, I send two. The main thing I do is send guys in on the attack,” Laviolette said. “I don’t want people to think I’m going to come in and play reckless hockey. We are going to play fast and aggressive, but we’re not going to give up a ton of opportunities either. The more you play offense, the less you have to play defense.” http://predlines.com/2014/05/07/predators-laviolette-offense-means-less-defense/

Only if he grows a neck first.

A thread to discuss this matchup. I'm obviously rooting for the Blues in this one.

How are you trading a guy who doesn't have a current Red Wing contract?

Every time the Sharks make the playoffs, it's "Is THIS the year?" and then they fizzle out. I think the Kings win this series and then the implosions/explosions begin in SJ.

Not my words - The Hockey News' postulation. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/top-five-compliance-buyout-candidates-for-2014/ http://fansided.com/2013/10/25/tyler-myers-buyout-canadate-buffalo-sabres/#!HaXNR http://sabrenoise.com/2013/05/08/will-the-buffalo-sabres-use-their-amnesty-buyouts/ http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/murray-needs-to-boldy-tear-down-sabres-to-build-them-up/

No, an overabundance of talent did that. Not to discount coaching but when the deck is stacked as well as it was.. coaching becomes less important.

Myers is a possible buyout target for Buffalo this year.

Surely this had NOTHING to do with it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCeuJPhrt8E

As opposed to a tighter league? Oh, L-O-S-E-R? Right, got it.

Close enough to almost be a subway series. Hopefully this results in each team's fans packing the other team's arena and creating a GREAT atmosphere. Philly always seems like a bunch of d-bags but the Rags (maybe it's just their fans) always have this palpable sense of entitlement when they really haven't done anything since since '93/4. Sure they've been to the conference finals twice in the 20 years since then, but they also missed the playoffs for eight of those twenty. Rags - only because a friend of mine roots for them and they're slightly less dislikable.

A thread to discuss this matchup. I'm rooting for the Wild simply because I cannot stand Patrick Roy. I know, I know - very scientific.

That Zetterberg guy is double shifting every game! He's a BEAST!!

Have to go with the Jackets. Firstly, due to my dislike of all things Penguiny. Secondly, because they're quite the story in the last couple years. Trading away their franchise player, making moves with Gaborik to strengthen their future. It would be nice for the fans in Columbus to see their team make it out of the first round as well.

Until Helm stubs his toe getting out of the shower. He then develops an infection and has to have his entire foot amputated. (j/k.. but seriously, I hope his injury luck has turned for the better)

A thread to discuss this matchup. Pulling for Dallas in this one. Again, no reason other than I dislike the Ducks.

I agree! hubba hubba! wait.. wrong Larionov? How does the other one look in a lowcut blouse? haha

We were UP 3 - 1 in that series and blew it.. Not a 3 - 1 deficit comeback. I see what you're trying to do with the comparison, but we were winning the Chicago series. http://www.nhl.com/ice/series.htm?season=20122013&series=k

These are not our problem (ranked by GAA): 7 Jimmy Howard DET 3 3 1 2 0 87 6 2.02 81 .931 1 0 0 0 178:05 13 Jonas Gustavsson DET 1 1 0 1 1 40 3 2.43 37 .925 0 0 0 0 73:32 This is: 5 Tuukka Rask BOS 4 4 3 1 0 119 4 0.96 115 .966 1 0 0 0 251:26 Take out the 3 goalies that haven't played a full game and we have the #4 and #10 goalies in the playoffs right now. Our offense is anemic and Boston was a bad draw for the first round. http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?fetchKey=20143ALLGAGALL&sort=goalsAgainstAverage&viewName=summary Ranked by Sv% Howie is 4th and Monster is 7th. We're getting good/great goaltending.

He wasn't medically cleared for all that.
