Who wants to see No.11 back in Victory Green??

[DLLS Stars @DLLS_Stars]

Who uses analytics more: the GM or head coach?

How do they play into building a team?

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

This is a cool moment. Faksa is a big soccer fan, too.

Stank raises the Stanley Cup!!

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

With Avicii as the soundtrack. Perfection.

The vibe in Stockholm at 4AM this morning:

Sweden 5-1 Tunisia. No complaints.

Here are the voting totals for the Conn Smythe Trophy, as released by @thePHWA: https://t.co/msloHabgKZ

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

Not only is Logan Stankoven a Stanley Cup champion, he received some votes for playoff MVP, as well.

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

Can’t help but be extremely happy for No. 22.

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

Did the best team win it all?

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

I miss Stank on the forecheck.

[Robert Tiffin @RobertTiffin]

@DallasMocha @samnestler @OwenNewkirk @Lassimak Qualifying offer deadline for RFAs (Robertson, Bourque, Hyry) is June 29, so I'd guess the team will resolve the Robertson situation via re-sign or trade before then.

Benn re-signed on June 26 last year, so wouldn't shock me to see a similar timeline this year.

[DLLS Stars @DLLS_Stars]

Longtime Texas Stars captain Curtis McKenzie is returning for at least one more year...

Jamie Benn following suit?

[Sam Nestler @samnestler]

Who has a helicopter that can drop me off here?

🚨🇳🇱 The Netherlands has entered the World Cup chat and HOLY MOLY.

Nobody does a road march like The Dutch.

Sometimes, the NHL simply doesn't have the camera angles to overturn a call on the ice... Even if the team video coaches do.
