When Frank Vatrano assisted on Florida's OT goal last night, my first reaction was "thank goodness he's still playing hockey after that vicious attack by Sergachev" !! Then I wondered if I was just dreaming but I wasn't.

Sergachev should've been banned for life. He put people's LIVES in danger.

Teams with players making 10+ million have never won a playoff series.

Technically true if you look at cap hits. Ovechkin's salary was $10M in the season Washington won their Cup. Backstrom's new deal pays him $12M this season, but didn't the season they won.

Toews & Kane had already signed their $10.5M extensions before their 3rd Cups, but they hadn't kicked in yet. Kopitar's contract was signed a year and a half after LA won their 2nd. Doughty's 2+ years later.

Aside from that, none of the $10M players have ever won a Cup.

Where is the post for the Playoff picks? Shouldn't it be pinned for easy access? I cannot locate it.

Want to check how poorly I am doing.

the whole blog is subject to revision. So no. No one can see it now.

He said series though. And that's blatantly false no matter how you look at it.

Kucherov made $12M last year and they won the cup.

If you aren't counting Actual salary and are instead counting AAV:

Montreal and Chicago both won play in rounds last year.

If you're not counting play in rounds, then technically no team has won a series. However, at least one of the Leafs vs. Habs will win their series and both have 10M AAV players.

It's not like the number of 10M AAV players is huge. It's like picking any other trait and saying "No team that has a player with blonde hair, a pet lama and 6 kids has won a series." There's just so few in the league.

That's what scientists like to point out that correlation does not equal causation. Just because two things look linked doesn't mean one is the cause of the other.

Very sad. They dumped their coffee supplier over cost, only to see them picked up by McDonald's.

McDonald's from what I've read recently is now the largest coffee chain in the country. Better quality and real coffee beans.

Silence for 2 days. I wonder if there are some big rumours brewing. Did NYR hire Messier or Torts yet?
