In this thread, we pay homage to our Pittsburgh Penguins overlords...

.....and I suppose we can talk about the Draft, free-agent signings, trades, and how much of a clunker this World Cup of Hockey is going to end up being.

I was listening to the Edmonton beat writer talk about Yakupov. I guess he's just been entirely disinterested in hockey and really needs a change of scenery. Could be a nice pickup for you guys.

They have a 5 pack got 269 that's a good deal.

I have yet to fully embrace the salary cap era of hockey. I will say, the lockouts really ruined the game for too many fans prior to that, so maybe it'll be a long-term gain.

I've been a Wings fan forever, but I watch a bit more casually than I used to.

Nah. Blues are a disappointing team, but they're at least dominant every year and made the conference finals last year. The Chiefs are average to bad every year and haven't even sniffed the conference finals in decades.

Blues haven't dominated shit. Half the damn league makes the playoffs so of course they get more chances to choke...and they do that soooo well

Looks like it might be Carter Hutton time in STL for a bit. He is a great 2nd goalie for sure, his main weakness is not being sharp after he has been sitting on the bench for weeks at a time, but if he is playing regularly or semi regularly, he is a damn good goalie. Very underutilized in Nashville, and with Rinne aging, I wish the Preds had tried to keep him and promised him more starts as long as he played well.
