#Preds hire Rob Blake as executive vice president of hockey operations.

After the hiring of Chris MacFarland and Blake, I wonder who the next Nashville hiring will be that has strong ties to the #Avs.

[Brennan Klak @nhlupdate]

He had an awesome season - can't afford to lose many more names in what's already a weak UFA market.

Hearing #mnwild pending unrestricted free agent Marcus Johansson, coming off a real solid season, has signed a contract to return to Sweden and play back with Farjestad

TWICE AS NICE 🏆🏆 #NHLAwards

Nick Suzuki surprised Cole Caufield with the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy before Caufield surprised Suzuki with the Frank J. Selke Trophy. 😂

The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is awarded for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct and the Frank J.Selke Trophy is awarded to the top defensive forward.

[Jesse Granger @JesseGranger_]

Tortorella said he saw the puck loose under the goalie, and saw his player stab the puck into the net.

“I’d challenge it 10 out of 10 times.”

[Brennan Klak @nhlupdate]

"These gentlemen would quiet all the critics wondering where they've been"

Pretty awesome call.

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

SETH JARVIS OVERTIME HERO 🚨

[Brennan Klak @nhlupdate]

This makes sense, Barbashev clearly pushes Andersen's glove during the frenzy.

At first, when we thought it was on Dorofeyev - that didn't make sense, and I understood the challenge better.

[Dan Rosen @drosennhl]

On Carolina's third goal, VGK challenged saying there was NOT goalie interference. Initial call was no goal.

Video review determined "Barbashev interfered with Andersen and impaired his ability to play his position in the crease prior to the puck entering the Carolina net."

[Brennan Klak @nhlupdate]

I mean....that was an insane turn of events.

Dylan Coghlan or Nikolaj Ehlers

Brett Howden now has more goals in the playoffs than he did all regular season long.

[Brennan Klak @nhlupdate]

Assuming the Robert Thomas trade talk cools (we'll see) - this is now the biggest story of the summer. For now.
