Always is, except when he was sick. He's a really good analyst.

He owns some racehorses, some quite good ones I think.

DAL 1-2 STL OT2 / STL plays winner of COL@SJS

Edited May 8, 20196 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

St Louis Colorado would be an all central matchup but im pulling for the Sharks over Colorado then over St. Louis but lose to Carolina

I got cocky after going 6-2 in the opening round, and am kinda taking it on the chin in R2....at least in the East. I picked STL/COL/NYI/CLB. Go Avs, I suppose...

Had VGK/STL and TPA/CAR in the semi's. 

Pool I'm in has a bunch of silicon valley peeps in it and they went heavy on SJS so need COL to win.

I'm not really cheering for any team at this point but I wouldn't be sad if the Sharks won the Cup. Joe Thornton deserves to win one.

And we will finally have the answer as to who won the Evander Kane trade....Evander Kane!

why does Joe Thornton deserve anything?  Just because he's played a long time and made many many millions of dollars?

San Jose re-signed Kane in 2018 paying him $49 million on a 7 year contract, now I don't follow NHL hockey closely anymore other than the playoffs but that seems like an insane contract to offer a  player who has never topped 30 goals has peaked and is now entering years of declining value.

Dislike the human but.. He scored 30 in 2011 with the Jets. Had a combined 29 last year with Buff and SJ and scored 30 this year also.. But.. That's certainly not worth 7 million per.

Of course not but BUF did trade him to SJ and they looking awfully good to win the cup now.

I heard Scheifele was pissed when he found out Kane signed for more than he makes.... can't blame him really!

Lost in the whole scheifele took a discount thing.. He signed same time as Mackinnon.. It wasn't a discount.. It was the markets going rate at that time. I like 55 but... If You are looking at comparables and numbers of those comparables in terms of points etc... Scheif got market rate.. He got what all 1 centers who signed at that time got..

Scheif will do alright on his next deal. He isn’t going hungry
