$50 says Boudreau is the Leafs coach come opening day.

Julien.

So if Columbus wins their next game they are only 1 point behind the Devils and they'll be even game wise. How about a winning streak Columbus? Carry that momentum into next season ya'know?

They have a few people trying to earn jobs next year, especially the coach (Morin, Tropp, Goloubef, and Connauten too). They've just set a franchise record for consecutive road wins (6). I think they have an over .500 season as a goal at this point. Two games below right now. With the calamity that it's been, that's about as good as they can hope for. And I feel like they have their eyes on a mid 1st round guy...

I was hoping that Bourque would have another angry game like he did against Calgary, but of course he's now hurt. Welcome to Columbus, Rene!

Good news - Wild Bill Karlsson makes his Jackets debut in Wennberg's spot. Between Dano and Hartnell. That puts Jenner alongside Johansen and Atkinson. Anisimov stays with Foligno and Morin.

Gonna be a tough one tonight, but I think this team has no pressure and can play whatever game they want. Should be fun to watch.

Plus, I hope someone beats the piss out of Kesler.

Julien.

Julien will have good teams calling. Bruce won't.

I think Wild Bill has a NHL future - he looked decent at the beginning of this season with the Ducks.

So, the ongoing complaints about scoring, yadda yadda: one of the Pens beat writers has made it one of his soapboxes on twitter to talk about scoring across the league, etc. Apparently the NHL didn't like that, and sent him a "nastygram" about it. Oh come on.

Where did you see this at, Pix? Can you elaborate, please?

 

[BGDave]

Why would he name his burger "67". He HAS to know what that number represents

He's just getting all warm and cuddly with his boss...

He can put "improving teams after Randy ruins them" right after "toasting bread properly" under "Skills" on his resume

Can't see Boudreau leaving Anaheim especially if they go far in the playoffs this year.

Little early on the April Fools jokes, aren't we?

It was Yohe, and he spoke about it on Trib radio this morning.

That sounds like a typical Bettman move. Pretty pathetic that the NHL would take the time to contact a member of the media to not report, you know, the FACTS

I admit that Yohe was on that soapbox often...but I agreed with him every step of the way. He's simply reporting the facts: "Oh look! Three shutouts tonight out of 8 games!" And he wasn't shy about calling the league sad, etc.
