Fourteen newcomers - uffda.

Clock finally struck midnight for the Kraken. They had a great, and unexpected, run in the playoffs. Even though they played a good game they made too many mistakes to win the game. It could have been 5-0 if not for Grubauer and Dallas missing the net so much, and a great job blocking shots.

Don't watch on Monday - I'll let you know what happens.

My first (and probably last) Stanley Cup playoff game and the Kraken lay an egg. And to add insult to injury, I sat next to two Dallas fans. Ouch.

What does outbound ticket sales mean?

A sports writer, an assistant coach and a Beaver walk into a bar....

How about those Kraken!

Has there been any talk from St. Thomas about joining the NCHC?

Avs with their best game of the playoffs to win 4-1 and force game 7.

Gritty win for the Kraken. A 4-2 series win next? And it was nice to see the business suit right behind Kartye's parents. They got a lot of TV time after he scored.

In case you haven't seen it, here is the goal Brock Nelson scored off a defending player's puck to the face. https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/36291689

Unless you're posting from the great beyond, I think you have already seen that.

As well he should have, if not more. Here's the article: https://www.nhl.com/news/colorado-avalanche-cale-makar-suspended-for-interference/c-343886806

It definitely was a cheap shot. The way he looked at the ref makes me think he didn't hear the whistle. McCann obviously heard the whistle because he was coasting because the play was over.

Kraken beat Avs in OT 3-2. Series tied at 2 each. I expect the league to review a hit by Makar. It was called a major on the ice and reduced to a minor on review. Very late hit and a game suspension wouldn't surprise me.

I really don't understand what makes a hit a crosscheck, and that includes college. In every scrum there's at least one player, if not two, with both hands on their stick hitting an opposing player in the back and yet that type of hit is never called. Shouldn't that be a penalty?

Colorado beats Seattle 6-4. No doubt who the better team is.

Yes it would set a bad precedent. And, as Woodon points out, $1M is chump change. I think if Miami wants out they could find the money in the petty cash drawer.

If they come close to your predictions the team will be in St. Paul in early April.

I think we all do.

Welcome to UND!!

What makes him a good player? 9 points in 44 games in the USHL, 32 points in 55 games in the NAHL,9 points in 29 games at AIC and then a good season 29 points in 28 games at Lindenwood (with 87 PIM). He does fill a need but the numbers don't scream good player.

This is not a good pick up, not a bad pick up, it's a desperation pick up.

That was just mean Goon!

Here's a question for NHL gurus. When a player signs a contract, is the money expressed in US dollars or Canadian dollars when they sign with a Canadian team?
