doesn't everybody? i'm kidding. someone in the media already suggesting yzerman as a replacement.

yes, he wants top dollar, and now that he's away from a player of mackinnon's caliber, his numbers might come back down to earth. that huge payday is going to be slightly less than he was asking for.

i was gonna say the ring thing

sweet feed by owen to the front of the frickin' net

it's Nazem

would love to know how these were calculated. Panthers at less than 5% to win the cup. okay. while Canes are at 12%. ???

you change your statement from 4 to 10 years? cool. and yes, they have made progress over the past 4 years. from ACTUAL basement to meaningful march games. something a lot of people are happy about, with an average age that is also in the "basement of the league." 😄

knocking on the playoff door for the past two seasons is "basement of the league?" get hold of yourself.

rules out the devils. 🤣

cool story. also, the true GOAT.

i grew up with mike hurlbut who had a cup of coffee with the sabres. everybody in town also knew the bogosians (family sold furniture). the nhl legends tour came to town, and i filled my mom's autograph book by meeting perreault, the richard brothers, guy lafleur and others. mom got muhammed ali's autograph in there when she was younger, i think a few of the players actually noticed it and commented on it. when i was in college, i found myself in a car being driven by a 14 year old girl (only one who was sober) through downtown lake placid with 7 passengers as well as craig conroy and ed heinrich in the trunk with a case of beer (clarkson was in the ECAC tournament). of course, the town cops stopped us within 100 feet of our destination, and after about 10 minutes of pleading by the girl's mother in freezing temperatures, they let us go. i ran into steve yzerman and brendan shannahan behind home plate at the '99 mlb all-star post-game at fenway. i asked my buddy to get my picture with steve, and after he obliged, he asked if i wanted one with shannahan, too. i told him "nah, i can't stand that guy." i wish i could have gotten a photo of the look on steve's face. finally, i met a few of the rangers after a practice at matthews arena (northeastern university, boston) when my roommate had a job working the ticket window there. no autographs, but shook hands with wayne, messier, and a few others. brief, but memorable.

Bergeron retirement announcement tomorrow.

both players asked out of their respective clubs before murray came knocking. from what i remember.

class of '94 myself. Canton is a cozy, fun town. But my childhood was spent in Walker Arena cheering on the original Golden Knights (dad is a Clarkson grad from the Dave Taylor days).

am I crazy, or is TB the dirtiest team in the league over the past half-decade? I consistently see cheap-shots and dangerous hits whenever they go up against buffalo. yeah, I have no video proof at my disposal, but I haven't come to this observation without cause. hedman slew-foot reino a few years ago, the cernak elbows, kucherov's cross-checks...it just seems to be their aura lately. but I guess to win titles, you do whatever it takes. :|
