Are there playoff teams with that $ available that would spend it on them? If not, they sit on a non playoff team’s roster till the season is over and then they’re free agents. At this point in season, I don’t know who is looking for one of them.

That's the challenge right there. They'll only have value to playoff teams and their salaries aren't really bargains. You'd almost hope there's a team that would consider taking both of them.

There are some teams that still need an "add" of some kind. Maybe Kerfoot still has some middle six appeal to Avs (they've been quiet) or Seattle or LA. Calgary is looking for help on the wing. Leafs could even eat some Cap (up to ~1.5M) and still have room to call up one of the kids to be the new 13th FWD.

Leafs will beat Tampa this year, but then fall to the bastard Bruins.

Coyotes are crawling all over the place in the Marie Curtis park area in Etobicoke. Walking a mini Schnauzer who thinks it's a German Shepherd is unsettling. I need a sword.

Shoppers Drug Mart has boxes of Honeycomb on sale for $3.99

Big big bite, Honeycomb bite.

Honeycomb's big. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
It's not small. No, no, no!

This went well with Sesame Street's 'Near / Far' sets.

So with the arms race tightening up (let's assume Kane goes to NYR), what the hell is Carolina going to do?

JVR? Boeser? Schmaltz (apparently he's available)?

- AdamFrench

Watched some trades. Some "insert team name here except Carolina" did something good. What's Carolina gonna do? Woooo!

Nah, they’ve got the Malgun. They’re set. The west really isn’t like the east is it?

No, Avs have a nice looking stroll if they're healthy.

Kerfoot (if he's the guy) is a west coaster so I gotta think they have some options on the competitive western teams. Avs, Dallas, Seattle, Vegas, Kings ...maybe Flames. One of those.

Or, if Dubas wants to keep him, then Engvall to the Marlies or flipped for a conditional pick works too.

ZAR's tiny contract is helping him stay off the hit list. Gotta move ~ $1.15 I think.

Jack wasnt able to steal a game. Vasi was....he stole game 7. Would have been nice if jack had stole game 6. But what can you do?
- Fakepartofme


This is a popular narrative, and I get it. Vasi stopped 7 more shots, Campbell let in 2, Vasi only let in 1.

The standout for me in that game was how Tampa literally blocked double the shots. Double. Tampa made it impossible to get to their goaltender for the most part, a lot of those 7 extra shots ended up being perimeter shots from the desperation resulting from Tampas resilient play in front of their goaltender.

Their team stole game 7.

This is inspiring me to make a coffee table book about 80's cereal commercials. Or maybe 80's food/grocery commercials. They were great.

Anybody else occasionally catch themselves singing SchoolHouse Rock songs?

Campbell and Vasilevskiyy both had sub-par performances. Would have been fun if Jack had been even slightly better.

Vasi was solid in Game 7, as he is wont to do.

The Samsonov vs Vasilevskiy duel should be fun.

Samsonov had a .912 sv% playing for a team that was heavily outmatched in round 1. I'm not overly worried about him.

They liked Kerfoot in Colorado. Of course Colorado also has no picks left outside of the 1st round, so . . . and I don't really like any of their prospects - who are mostly too small - although I do like Annunen, it doesn't look like he's panning out quite as well as I thought he might.

Fun story. An article popped up on my phone, the author was RIPPING Dubas for his recent moves. Got to the bottom of the article and realized it was written by a familiar, old face from around here. Any guesses? An insufferable POS.

Sometimes I have a reaction like the old man in Clockwork Orange when he hears Alex' voice the second time and recognizes who is. Like when I hear that rooster that the Friendly Giant keeps in a bag next to the door.
