That's an interesting name. Coward, chase... two words that don't go together all that well with a goalie.

Clearly hasn't been paying attention to the offseason. Cozens and Krebs are too old for Chicago.

We have been in goalie purgatory for way too long now. We had so many years where the position was not an issue. Hopefully this current crop brings us back to what we were so used to for so many years.

First goalie in the draft. That much is interesting.

I was actually impressed by how quickly she got the kid the hell out of there.

That shouldn't be the case. It should revert to his status at the point he was drafted. I'm trying to think of specific examples. I want to say Alex Nylander, but he's a weird case where he was just on loan to the CHL team.

What exactly are they talking about, the moment where he stops smiling? He's focused in the same direction the whole time (the camera) and stops in between pictures. So did Bettman.

Think Zemgus Girgensons. I suppose that's slightly different since he was already on this side of the pond playing in the USHL, but that's another european who when immediately to the AHL after being drafted.

How did the other multiple pick teams do? That's a big part of why I hate most winner/loser draft analyses beyond the obvious prematurity of the whole thing, the multi-pick teams almost always default to winners. Part of me likes to think that Arizona was so focused in on Cooley that they never even noticed that Wright hadn't been picked yet.

Any relation to the former Coyotes GM?

They really push skin to skin contact for bonding with babies these days.

Is he the one that (I think) Craig Button was absolutely glowing about on one of the wgr shows this morning?

Was his $3.2 million hit really all the restrictive for Edmonton?

Wasn’t it the woman in studio who said it?

And Ottawa was ready to give us that pick to take Murray. This trade must have developed very fast last second because I don’t see how that 16th pick would have slotted in

I have now missed 15 birdie putts over my last 36 holes.

That's a 6 year contract for a 35+ player. I'm shocked by it. I'd love to know what is going through Malkin's mind right now.

Somehow Carolina needs to add Josh Rosen as their 3rd QB.

Back to my rant a couple weeks ago about double doors. This morning I'm walking into the gas station. This guy about to walk out has his hand on the correct door about to open it. He sees that I'm opening mine, so he stops, moves over and practically plants his face into my door waiting. With the most smug look I've ever seen (we're talking Bryan Smolinski smug), he says "appreciate it" as he's blocking my entrance. He wasn't so happy when I asked him "you know there are two doors, right?".

Great news for him! I just hope there's no identifiable information at the top of that bed.

Minor nitpick alert: There are now 32 teams. He was drafted 31st overall. So wouldn’t it be the 63rd pick?

I emailed a link to the Sabres homepage to several players.

I'm going to go with "wow, that's a terrible logo".

I liked Caddyshack 2 as a kid. So yes, a few.

And Marty definitely instigated that battle with Ray Emery.
