Adding even more games to the NHL playoffs is nuts. The NHL off-season will soon be 6 weeks. Now, if the NHL does expand, they also need to realign the divisions to 4 divisions. Once that is done, lose the wildcard and just go with top 2 per division.

Imagine of the NFL had the same control over teams like the NHL. The Panthers would likely have been gone a couple years ago. What a blessing that would have been.

They really let Chicago hang around far too long.

Especially if he's changing up lines.

I don't believe in hedging. I don't believe in kicking the PAT when a 2-pt conversion will win. I don't believe in laying up. I'm going with Jarvy Tuesday. If he doesn't play, I'll take Aho. If both sit I'll take Guentzel.

So, the Caps game last night. Jensen goes down hard after hitting the boards head first. He's stretchered off and there was about 1:50 left in the period. Refs called the period early and sent teams to the rooms. Did they add the time to the 2nd period?

Very close to the end of the Boston game he got hit into the boards at the bench.

Bedard is a -40. Holy balls. Bad as Chicago is, he could be a -100 before he can start digging out of that hole.

2 in a row for TT. I think he got hurt the other night.

Not a penalty. Bad call

Crap.... was late to the party today.... Been out most of the day and haven't read back. Anything of significance happening with the team?

Going Necas with these lines. DavidEng.... who ya got?

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/rockets-owner-on-bringing-nhl-team-to-houston-im-working-on-it/ On Wednesday, Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta said that he's "working" on bringing an NHL team to Houston, and possibly a WNBA franchise to the city, too. In an interview on CNBC's "Power Lunch" show, the billionaire businessman revealed that he's actively pursuing his dream of bringing an NHL team to the Texan city. "We would like to work to get an NHL team in Houston — I'm working on it," Fertitta said. The 66-year-old was also asked about the rise and success of women's basketball in the wake of the NCAA tournaments, where the women's championship game outdrew the men on television for the first time. In response, Fertitta shared that bringing a WNBA team to Houston isn't out of the question. "There can be a lot of growth in years to come... I would consider, definitely, with the growth of women's sports to talk about a WNBA team in Houston," he said. Houston has not had a WNBA team since the Comets folded in 2008. This isn't the first time that Fertitta has stated his interest in bringing additional sports teams to the fourth-largest city in the United States. In February, he told Bloomberg that "we are talking to the NHL, but it’s got to be good for both of us," which referenced the economic boost an NHL team could bring to the downtown core. In October 2017, when Fertitta was announced as the Rockets' new owner, he said that he "would put an NHL team here tomorrow" if he could. "...I want to see Toyota Center filled up 300 nights a year, definitely. So we’ll do whatever we can do, but whatever we do is going to make sense. Will we be aggressive? Yes. That’s my nature.” However, when it comes to getting a new team, no matter the sport, it's easier said than done. In the current hockey landscape, an expansion franchise or a relocated team could be a possible route for Fertitta. For example, the NHL and the Arizona Coyotes have made progress regarding a move to Utah, multiple sources confirmed Wednesday.

They're on a heater despite the loss today. 6-0-1 last 7.

SLC Bigamists. The Sister Wives.

Thinking about a watch party for tomorrow's game in Chi-town. Anyone living Raleigh or east... let me know.

Don't let it go without mentioning the crappy turnovers that led to those moments...

There's a guy in Houston who wants an NHL franchise...

BU owned the 1st period against Denver yesterday, then Denver went to a 1-2-2 D and took over the game. BU played man all night against the highest scoring offense in college.

Blues want this game more. Canes are sleepwalking thru this game.

DavidEng with a winner!

Saw that coming.

Defense pretty weak in front of Freddie. St. Louis with too many clean entries and odd-man breaks.

Wow... Dean thought he had one... So did I.
