   All-time hockey great. He played all 22 years of his career for the Chicago Blackhawks. Mikita died today at the age of 78 after a long illness.

   Pens/Jackets beef

   https://www.pensburgh.com/2018/7/2/17524958/penguins-blue-jackets-rivalry-jack-johnson-signing-john-tortorella-yelling-jim-rutherford-nhl I am pretty disappointed with the deal they gave Johnson. Feels like a handout for Sid's buddy type of thing. He has not been good. Also a bad look for Rutherford to make the comments he made. But, a poked, melting-down Tortorella is never less than fantastic. This is going to be fun.

   so opening night alex ovechkin scores a hat trick. In game #2, he netted 4 more goals. In two games he has 7 goals. Half the Kings team, upon seeing the story, responding, "wait, that's legal? huh, whaddaya know."

    This is certainly the biggest “freeway faceoff” outside of the playoffs ever. Figured it deserves its own thread so we can all make fun of each other and laugh at the inevitable butthurt/tears.

    P.K. Subban says he’ll 'never' protest during national anthem

    P.K. Subban says he’ll 'never' protest during national anthem This doesn't surprise me. Hockey players are probably the most invested in their nations. Maybe soccer ranks high also. But for hockey players, from the low levels, to the World Juniors to the World Championships, it's an honor to be selected and represent your country. And unlike baseball and basketball, they don't usually decline unless they are hurt. Plus, when a mic goes out in Canada, and the fans sing the American national anthem better than most Americans can. That shows a lot of respect and pride.

    A very brief review of what happened in 2016-17: -THE EDMONTON OILERS MADE THE PLAYOFFS. It happened. I saw it with my own eyes. Not only that, but they won a playoff series vs. San Jose before bowing out in seven games against Anaheim in the second round. -Connor McDavid won the Hart Memorial Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy with a 100 point regular season, and the Ted Lindsay Award for being awesome. At least I'd like to think that's why he was awarded the Ted Lindsay Award. -Cam Talbot played 178 games. I believe that's accurate. I guess when the alternative is Jonas Gustavsson playing goaltender like Roberto Aguayo kicks, there really isn't another opt…

    Well let's get the offseason started -no first round pick (Sekera trade) - lucic..I can go either way on him. They shouldnt go into a bidding war with other teams. I'd like him back but at the right price and not a lot of years (3 max) , but I'm sure he won't be doing a deal like that - I'm looking forward to a trade or 2 before the draft. At least I hope so.

    Grats to the Penguins on winning it. They are still our trade bitches. But it's nice to see Bones shine. But now that it's over. It's down to business. Buyout window opens Wednesday, here are some candidates General Rules: In the Ducks case. I think we wait till next year before having to maybe buy someone out. But if he doesn't waive his NMC, the hit would be about $2.7 million for 4 years.
