Not that I love Bell by any means, but I was kinda hoping TSN was gonna get the national rights back again. What a shame. 

Agree. Sportsnet is terrible.

I'm smelling a price increase in Rogers cables and cellular.

They gonna sell a ton of games to Amazon. It’s the only way they can make money on this.

McGroarty who? Never heard of him.

Only another 892 to go to catch Ovie...

Rutger took about 70 games to make one of the worst teams in the league in Pittsburgh and he wanted to be guaranteed a spot on the team who is currently the best in the league. Jets have an insane 36 more points than Pittsburgh. We won the trade.

Watching the Capitals getting jacked 6-0 right now. They are starting their third string goalie and the guy is awful. One of the worst I've seen in awhile. I don't think the Capitals care about getting 1st place in the league. Just win tonight Jets!

Capitals ended up getting pumped 7 goose today. Good opportunity to move up on them, so of course, we won't.

Whoops, I was wrong!

What you mean. If we win out and they win out we finish with 118 points. They can only finish at 115 now. 1 point and the jets clinch the cursed presidents trophy. Washington won their cup already. They resting guys. We will also now.

Detroit, Boston, Chicago and the New York Rangers will all miss the playoffs in the same year for the first time in NHL history.

The only way the Jets will get real respect is winning the Cup and that might not even do it, i.e. I can see the headline now, Jets win Cup only because of Helle now back to the Leafs and how they're one player away from winning it all.

It would always be considered a fluke, and it might not be wrong. I just feel like th league will always stack things against Canadian teams because it doesn't benefit them to have a Canadian team win. It's all about promotion in the sunbelt where there's less fans. That's who they want to give the Cup to (and all the auxiliary events like ASG, Draft, etc...)

OK so we're President's Trophy champions!  Will Bettman present it personally?

It's the President's trophy, Trump should come to Canada and personally hand it to a Canadian team. Love to see what would happen. (I do know it is not a trophy named for the President of the US)
