Panthers are out

Bold prediction; Panthers will sign Bobrovsky this summer and be a playoff team next year.

I think he'll retire. He's old and beat up. His contract was front loaded, so he's not making as much anymore, and the Canucks get stuck with a worse cap hit than the Panthers do if that happens.

Did I read the street party admission is included with a season ticket playoff purchase?  Wont that be the whole 15,000 or is this an additional 15,000?

Its a great idea to control numbers and benefit charity.  Soon the city will complain of the costs...of a charity initiative.  😉

Im not sure.. He hasn't won anything. Id imagine Vancouver tho but that was an ugly ending there so fences need to be mended. Big time.

Loungo might be n the hall one day but number retired? Nah. Vanc might do it though just cause they got no history ala Steen in WPG.

Like the idea of the $ going to charity but True North should pay for the street parties costs.

Make no mistake, the only reason for the ticket pricing is so that they have exact numbers. I saw a great tweet today that said "ever try to plan a party where you had no idea how many people were coming??" and that's exactly it... 

Very interesting..

Let's hope they get swept first round so cbc commentators will have nothing to talk about till June.

Is seeing a Canadian team eliminate the Bruins too much to ask for? oh wait, I think OTT did that two years ago. I had never seen a bunch of happy people at a sports bar in my life

Marc-Andre Fleury likely will play at least one more regular-season game for the Vegas Golden Knights to prepare for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The goalie hasn't played since March 15 because of an undisclosed injury. But he skated Monday, then practiced Tuesday and Wednesday.

Canes clinch a spot. I like that team.. They are fun to watch. They are my sleeper Cup Champions

That's their 4th and final call-up from the AHL. They can't call anyone else up for the playoffs now. They're running with 3 goalies.

Making his NHL debut, Montreal Canadiens forward Ryan Poehling scored a hat trick in regulation before adding the winner in the shootout as the Canadiens beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5 in their final regular season game of the season.

Everyone that was talked about leading up to the trade deadline and Erik Karlsson. 

Panarin, Bobrovsky, Duchene, etc.  

Stone extended, so not him. 

Around here, all the talk will be Trouba, Morrissey and Laine.
