Am I going crazy, or does it seem like the number of PTOs is up significantly this year?

With the cap dropping team's are probably less willing to go ahead give contracts to over the hill vets.

He better be talking about the 670 / I-71 construction traffic downtown.




If Melrose pipes up with the same thing, I may commit Hari Kari

Pierre: "Marian Gaborik and Ryan Johansen are going to have electrifying offensive years."

Maybe I'm flat out wrong, Columbus is going to be the overhyped preseason pick that fails this year. Can we really count on Bobrovsky to perform like he did last year? Is Marian Gaborik going to be healthy all year? Are all of the young guys going to step it up? They are talented but they are young and there will be growing pains. Everyone assumes the move to the East will make things easier for them but last time I checked year in year out the Atlantic is one of the two (usually the most) competitive division in hockey. I'm gonna go ahead and say they miss the playoffs.

He prefers to dazzle at the entry draft.

Yeah...was that $$ related, or did he just not fit in the Caps plans?

Kinda both, space to keep Wilson and he was too small for the system that Oates wants to run.

His talent did seem a bit misused...but hey, my team's coach is the KING at that! Weeeeee! (prepares for coronary once Beau Bennett spends year on 3rd/4th line)

@LisaHillaryTV: NHL management source tells me Pittsburgh has interest in Bryzgalov #humongousBig2ndchance

I really don't know what to say. Would be hilarious to see him fail, and hilarious-er to succeed.

Bolts re-assign Drouin back to Halifax - He was considered the odds-on favourite for the Calder Trophy.

/Maybe he'll win it in 2014-15

The two most hilarious goaltending tandems both in the same state. I would welcome it.


Hopefully, this will not be necessary, and Vokoun is actually okay.

Ryan Whitney signs in Florida - Geez, they've assorted quite the cast of characters in Sunrise.

Really surprised the Lightning sent Jonathan Drouin back down to the Q, not even the AHL.

Maybe he could win it next season? Connor McDavid will probably win it after that.
