TV ratings for VGK 4th best in the league -- and this with their rough start. https://sinbin.vegas/vegas-golden-knights-tv-ratings-soar/ Every game standing room only.
Hextall's departure lit a fire under their asses. Pittsburgh is going to struggle until goaltending gets better.
Seattle approved for expansion. 2nd time the charm? Same draft rules at the VGK but VGK are exempt. https://www.nhl.com/news/seattle-nhl-expansion-approved-to-be-32nd-team-play-in-2021-22/c-302581450 So, who from the Pacific gets moved into the Central Division? Calgary? Phoenix?
He is a tool. I have a few stories about him while he was in Toronto (Nazem Kadri is a relative of mine).
That's unfortunate. He seems like a down to earth guy. If you have any dirt on Sid, please keep it to yourself !

Ugh, Capitals dismantled my Red Wings last night on national broadcast of NBCSN..........Ovie hat trick. Ugly game for Wings fans. Speaking of NBCSN, the female providing color commentary last night just could not keep her mouth shut! Trying too hard, or trying to convince watchers she was the smartest person in the hockey world. (I think the play by play guy called her "A J"?) Lord, gimme back Pierre "The Drone" McGuire! If I wanted a female calling a game I'd watch the LPGA or women's bowling... . . How about that fight among St Louis Blues players at practice? Guess a coaching change wasn't the panacea they were hoping for. Neither for the Black Hawks - have lost eight in a row. They play the Penguins tonight on NBCSN.
Drew Doughty for the Kings blasts his teammates as being lazy and embarrassing in the press. Someone asks him "What did the players think when they read it?" Doughty says: "What was in the papers was tame to what I gave them in the locker room!"
ANOTHER coach fired. They will be called the Year of the Pink Slips https://www.nhl.com/news/dave-hakstol-fired-as-coach-of-philadelphia-flyers/c-303022652
A great place to watch a game is the Bell Center in Montreal. The atmosphere is amazing and one of the best I've seen with Winnipeg. Hopefully one day I make it to a Vegas home game as I'm sure some friends from here will join! The season has been nice to us Leaf fans but we always find a way to blow the post season. I'm incredibly happy to see Ovechkin having another great year and Washington proving to be a strong candidate. For now its World Juniors time!
