It was 28 degrees here, I was outside enjoying the weather.😁

I checked in here a couple times last night, to see if anyone had anything intelligent to say, as expected, there was nothing.

Did you buck the trend or stay the course?

(frank)en cold here last night. Got down to 4 degrees.

Hopefully the Vegas-Montreal game tonight brings a bit more excitement for neutral fans.

Ya, that couldn't have been much fun to watch.

I am going for Isles and Habs, but don't really care to much as long as Tampa doesn't win.


I expect some moron will call me a bandwagon or some ridiculous, because I am not cheering for the Canucks, while they are golfing.

I don't want TB to win either. I don't really want the cup to come back to Canada unless it's coming back to Vancouver. I don't really want the expansion franchise to win a cup before the Canucks. My hope lasts on the Islanders and after last night's loss.

Can't always get what you want.

Officially no more isolation required for travelers arriving here as long as they are vaccinated

Finally, freedom.

You go Yorky...you go Man!!!

You'll be able to fly soon with your 6th vaccine...

What's actually funny and ironic is, is that I am fully vaccinated so airlines and countries have no problem letting me in, and I don't have to quarnatine. I'm going to Europe in a month, so will let you know what flying and traveling is like again

I doubt he's getting across any border without a vaccine.

We have always been free. I’ve been traveling the whole time. Off to Europe on Thursday for some yachting

How can you be thinking about vacation when the draft is a month away.

I'm still annoyed they took Joni Jurmo in the 3rd round last season. He better turn out.

Jake hasn't been convicted or bought out yet. He could still be on the team next season.

I've always hated the NHL central scouting since they don't combine them lists to give a clear 1-xx

He ain’t coming back regardless. He will be in tough to play another game anywhere

I have never liked their actual rankings but what I do like is the comprehensive list of names.

I always go back and look to see where they ranked players. Like Persson and Zloydev were at 30 and 44 in their rankings. Looks like pretty good value getting them so late.

Wasn't he traded for Erhoff or was that the other Patrick bust?

Morning,

New blog is up, with Sedin speculation, goalie talk and expansion draft rumblings...

PSA: today's number is 7! Very easily confused with 6 as you have to use both hands to count.

The Barracuda also dipped into the free-agent market, signing a pair of WHL players. The bigger fish of the two is former Portland Winterhawks captain Nick Cicek. Cicek, a Winnipeg-born, 201-pound defenseman Their other signing, Montana Onyebuchi from the Kamloops Blazers, carries a somewhat similar development pattern. Similar in size (6′ 3″, 209 pounds) to Cicek, Onyebuchi also had an offensive breakout campaign with 12 points in 20 games. The Barracuda hope that the two overagers can boost their defense in the coming years.
