This is the National Hockey League, we can review offside but not a hand pass in overtime of a
#StanleyCupPlayoff
game? Too much on the line for a game of this magnitude to end like that.
Sources confirm the February break in the
#NHL
schedule, originally for the Olympics, will now be used to play make up games for all games taken off the board.
Feel sorry for Carolina fans, to trade your goalie of the future is unacceptable. Alex Nedeljkovich was a 2nd round pick, they invested years developing him, and get a 3rd rd pick in return? On what planet does this make sense?
Wait…the 5’9 Chris Wideman, who wasn’t even on the team last year, was the one who dropped the gloves with the 6’3 Mark Scheifele? Then Scheifele waves to the crowd? Mount Rushmore of embarrassing moments in Winnipeg history.
A 9-year old Trent Frederic having picture taken with David Backes. Good chance the two are on the same line tomorrow when Frederic makes his

Bobby Clarke “None of our scouts wanted Nolan Patrick” also says Philly could’ve had Ryan O’Reilly. Full episode avail now.

Ryan O’Reilly was on the ice with a 5 year-old make-a-wish recipient well after practice today. Literally was giving back to kids until his final day with

Jordan Kyrou says the team told him a little over a week ago that he can move out of the hotel and find a place. Can’t imagine how good it must feel for a young player to hear.
#stlblues
The Anaheim Ducks have told David Backes they intend to keep him and expect him to be a regular in the lineup in what could be his final season. Backes is 50 games shy of a 1000 for his career and has been working with a skating coach twice a week in Minny.
Matthew Tkachuk is avoiding a Johnny Gaudreau situation by notifying the
#Flames
he won't re-sign. Last things the team needs is to drag this out over next season. Actually doing team a favor by being honest with them.
Keep hearing about how the
#GoAvsGo
were able to build a winner. MacKinnon 1st overall, Landeskog 2nd, Makar 4th, Byram 4th, Rantanen 10th is a good starter.
Can confirm a previous report that Anaheim’s Trevor Zegras did not make any comments to
#Yotes
Dman Troy Stetcher about his late father. Pretty strong accusation to make about someone, especially when it isn’t true.
@CamandStrick
Some rumblings regarding Vegas players being upset their names have been rumored in trades and how poorly the situation has been handled internally.
#Vegasborn
Hearing 6’7 Winnipeg Dman Logan Stanley has asked for a trade. Former 1st rounder is just 24 years old. Still no guarantee the team moves him.
#GoJetsGo
Red Wings general manager, Steve Yzerman addressed the media today and shared some of his thoughts about the COVID situation and the cases sweeping through the league.
Teams Gabriel Ledeskog will have interest in signing with in the event he can’t come to terms with his current club, the

Barbashev and his camp raving about how
#stlblues
GM Doug Armstrong handled his situation the last several weeks calling it 1st class. The Blues have indicated to Barbashev they have serious interest in wanting him back if he’s avail on the 1st day of free agency.
I’m terms of where the finger should be pointed in the Evgenii Dadonov case, league sources say the blame rests on the shoulders of the Ottawa Senators.
Can confirm the Edmonton
#Oilers
have both 7 and 8 year contracts agreed to with Zach Hyman. EDM and TOR are working to execute a sign & trade which will pay Hyman 8 yrs. at around $5M. Salary comes in higher in middle of contract and includes some no move protection.
#Leafs
Mayers job as a hockey analyst is to explain to the audience how and why things take place on the ice during an
#NHL
game. Not to debate whether or not hockey is a safe place, or if it’s too violent, if the game is archaic, or how he’d react if this was done to his son.
Happy for Craig Berube, gets reunited with Mike Van Ryn. Can assume Toronto is making a significant commitment both financially and in years. Country club days are over, hope Toronto players are ready, there’s a new Chief in town.
#Leafsforever
Justin Faulk first closing on Landeskog in the neutral zone to prevent empty net goal and then keeping puck in the zone with his skate were two of the biggest plays we saw in Game 5, yet will hardly get any attention. Literally saved the game.
#stlblues
The future of David Perron will certainly get a lot of attention this summer, regardless of what happens he’ll go down as a true Blue. He’s a winner and developed into one of the best
#stlblues
players over the last 20-30 years.
Regardless of what your opinion is of Patrik Berglund as a player, let me just say he is an unreal person and one of the best people to ever come thru STL.
#Sabres
getting a beaut
#stlblues
Barring a sudden shift, and as always things can change very quickly, my guess is that the Alex DeBrincat situation has held up Ottawa from signing Tarasenko. Once he’s moved, likely to the
#LGRW
, that will open door for Tarasenko to sign with Ottawa.
Houston Cougars staff and players knocked over garbage and chairs after a 1-point loss at Alabama.
Sophomore guard Jamal Shead hung back to clean up the mess.
Alex Pietrangelo admitted to me this morning that he wanted a new challenge and the closer he got to UFA the more he had his sights on playing elsewhere. Says decision came down to more than hockey and the idea of playing and living elsewhere was intriguing to him.
#stlblues
Matthew Tkachuk contract is believed to be the 1st true sign and trade in
#NHL
history. Wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a trend in the league moving forward.
Told Gabriel Landeskog could be asking for a salary that pays in the range of $9-$10M in the open market. He’s willing to give Colorado a hometown discount but the Avs will need to up from their last offer which came in in the $5-$6 range on a 8 yr term.
Trent Frederic had secured a suite for dozens of friends and family planning to attend tomorrow’s game in St. Louis, his 1st as an
#NHL
player in his hometown. With him being sent down he has given his box to the

David Perron looking like another flat cap casualty, told agreeing to an extension with St. Louis looks unlikely.
Perron will go down as an all-time
#stlblues
player. Has had an amazing run with St. Louis.
#Habs
fans, you’ll love Jake Allen. Total student of the game, knows the shooters in the league, strong sense for the game and a total professional. Played Junior in Montreal. Has high end puck skills and is experienced enough to carry the load if needed. Great teammate, winner.
Sounding like the Panthers will be able to come to terms with Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe. Reinhart likely gets a max deal just under Barkov ($10m) and Tkachuk ($9.5)

The

is not expected to react to the Nazem Kadri bulldoze of Jordan Binnington. Told the league feels the collision with the defenseman (Calle Rosen) as they’re both going for a loose puck causes the goalie contact.

How good was Pat Maroon? one of his best games as a
#stlblues
. His ability to handle pucks rimmed along the wall is impressive. Was visibly upset when he left rink yesterday after learning his grandpa had passed away. His grandpa would be proud of that performance
It was an absolute honor to be hip-checked by Bobby Plager. He made sure it was on the jumbotron during the Casino Queen’s biggest hits the next game.

Throwback to when

legend Bob Plager laid out a "Media Guy" during the 2006 UHL All Star Game in St. Charles, MO. I was in the stands for this and the UHL All Star Game that year and this was a hit I'll never forget. Fly High Bobby!
