My good friend @fan960lou took the time to join the podcast recently and we had one HECK of a conversation!! Give it a listen when you have a chance, available on all platforms https://t.co/5FyzfNcWeB
I’m a sports media and play by play snob for lack of a better term. My expectations of ppl in the business are likely too high. With that said, I’ve always really liked the work McDonough has done whether it be hockey, baseball, football, etc
Robert Thomas trade rumors can be put to rest. The #stlblues are not looking to move their #1 center. Expect Thomas to be on the roster when training camp begins in September.
@JayManCroft You could make a good argument the league pretty blatantly saved their asses which led to their cup win in 23. Any rationale logic would have had the Nurse instigator rescinded prior to game 5, and Petro gets at least 2 games for the slash
Turns out that the east wasn’t better than the west, the central wasn’t some crazy juggernaut, and the pacific wasn’t that bad, fans and media just grossly overrate regular season success. Looking forward to next season when they will all learn absolutely nothing from this

Mark Spector: “There were discussions around healthy-scratching Nurse during the 2024 Final, when the Florida Panthers defeated Edmonton 2-1 in Game 7, Sportsnet has learned.”
Frank Seravalli: Re Canadiens: One of the...points of discussion that people were whispering about is, what about Alexis Lafreniere's availability from the Rangers and was he one of those guys that the Candiens tried to pull off a deal for - Frankly Hockey (6/4)
Darren Dreger: Re Maple Leafs: To have the inexperience now that they have with John Chayka and Mats Sundin shoulder to shoulder is surprising to me, but what that tells me is that they're not making a coaching change; they need the experience of Berube - Nielson Show (5/4)
Former #Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau on the "Fellowship of the Rink" podcast:
"I think those three guys (Sedins/RJ) are gonna be so much better than to have Jim there and Patrik Allvin, who did whatever Jim wanted anyway so it didn't really matter if Patrik was there or not."
Sources said David Carle and the #Leafs brass had a pleasant conversation early in their process where he politely declined an invitation to interview for their head coaching vacancy.
From here, feels like Carle is a man on a mission to fix #cawlidgehockey.
Attach a conditional pick(s) on both sides and load up the conditions. If he performs well, Vancouver gets a good return. If he doesn’t, then the acquiring team gains assets they can attach to him to dump the contract
Chris Johnston: Re Elias Pettersson/Canucks: I still think that there would be some degree of shine on him, or interest in him; I think the conditions are there for someone like him to still be moved - Chris Johnston Show (5/28)
