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.

If Staal retires, does Kuznetsov go to C3?

Most of the Blues physical guys are sitting tonight. And they're not healthy scratches.

Aho if he plays. Guentzel if Aho is sitting (which I doubt).

Friday night in St. Louis. Back in the day, when I actually paid attention to baseball, the Cardinals were my team. Going back to the Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Tim McCarver days... Anybodyhome- 8 DavidEng- 6 Harbingers- 6 CarolinaWillRise- 5 WelshPanther- 4 Panthers Fan 69- 4 DamnitJake!- 2 panthers81- 2 MillionDollarCam- 1 ------------------------------------------ Going with Aho tonight. This may be a low-scoring affair, and going with a clutch scorer is the way to go.

Caps got pissed when Buffalo kicked their asses last night, too. Washington went after Buffalo as time expired. Tage Thompson kicked Max Pacioretty's ass. Oshie boarded Thompson as time expired and Rasmus Dahlin took exception.

Surprised his passing hasn't been mentioned yet.... Acquitted in the murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Andrew Goldman. Found liable for their deaths in a civil suit and ordered to pay $33M, which he never did. Instead moving to Florida and filing for bankruptcy protection. I think I read with interest and penalties, that figure now stands at over $100M. Convicted in the 2007 armed robbery and kidnapping of 2 sports memorabilia dealer in Las Vegas. Was found guilty on a total of 12 charges and sentenced to 33 years in prison. He was paroled after 9. He spent all of his free time after the murder acquittal and after being released from prison trying to find the real killers of his wife, searching high and low at many golf courses in and around Florida.

Rags took a bunch of penalties against Philly last night because they were getting beat. Problem is the refs were calling them on Philly at the same time. The embellishment penalty on Hathaway was pure garbage. Quick slashed him, rabbit punched him and tripped him and Hathaway gets 2 minutes, lol.

Gee, do ya think it took long enough for the league? But yeah, the forecheck was crazy good on that possession. From the first keep-in by Drury, and then Chatty and Orlov along the boards, the Bruins were toast about the time Svech came on the ice, they were just standing around gassed at that point.

Watching the Frozen Four semis. Denver beat BU in OT. Refs called zero (none) as in, nada, penalties on Denver in nearly 71 minutes of hockey. They missed blatant trips, knee to knee, it was ugly. Next up at about 9 is BC and Michigan.

If your weather sucks tomorrow or just have nothing to do... Islanders @ Rags 12:30PM. Round 2.
