Is that really how he thought of the AHL from the start.   I think it's a case of him trying to say the right things as he is tanking hard in the AHL this season and his value has dropped considerably.

Not too surprising.  It’s pretty crazy around LA right now.

and I find it tragically ironic that the Flames were going to play the Kings

Agreed. His personality would want him to be in a media center such as New Yawk.

I think he’s more of a play video games and surf guy so probably Florida with Barkov or Tampa.

Nachos with the assist

I'm a guy that doesn't take himself seriously but I take what I do for a profession seriously.

This is a serious issue and the guy who threw the nacho's on the ice has to be dealt with and used as an example to help deter future behaviour like this, i.e., lifetime ban from the arena.

This could give other low critical thinkers ideas where it aint nachos but something more dangerous.

In this particular case making it funny and not serious comes with a risk which behind the scenes I'm hoping they aren't.

I suspect it will take a serious injury before the NHL pushes for something.

 

‘He knows when to do what’: Oilers’ Perry riles up Canucks in revenge victory

Woof.

Kinda feels like the playoffs started and more than 8 teams have already been eliminated 😢
 

Bedard one of the oldest players on the ‘hawks now 🤣

Being nosy but don't really care at the EOD, wondering the specifics of the alleged squabbles between Nuck's JT Miller and Elias Pettersson?

I'm sure Redditt's got it covered but don't like to wander around those parts if I can help it.

Coles notes 

remember Blake wheeler? And the exact same thing that was said about him as a leader in the room? That’s JT Miller in Vancouver. Without the C. His personality and his leadership style clashes with the younger more chilled EP and QH and their generation. 
 

simple as that from what I can gather. I’m not sure Blake was wrong on his approach since it worked for him but it didn’t work for others. Same thing with Miller. Rubs ppl the wrong way. Just how JT miller is really.  Blake never lost his **** on ice tho, there’s YouTube videos of miller ripping teammates
