Since the draft is this weekend might as well start a new season. Today is the start of the Fanatics era of jerseys. Kings going with a throwback jersey design (Gretzky) and the Ducks going with the original logo with the current colors. Fanatics taking a lot of blame on the quality of the new Nike MLB uniforms (Fanatics makes them) so hopefully the NHL jerseys are of the same quality the Adidas ones are. Also, there are two groups one led by Anson Carter and the other being the Gathering Arena proposal to bring the NHL back to Atlanta. The Houston Rockets owner has also met with Bettman about a team in Houston. There is the talk of the NHL wants a second team in Toronto like how New York and LA have 2 teams. Avs owner working to build a new arena in San Diego to have a team there (not to relocate the Avs). With the current Coyotes owner calling it quits that gives others the chance to try and bring back the Coyotes.

Jakeb Lynch commits to Miami, putt up some good numbers in AAA

Better than playing D3

This is what was needed in Arizona

If the Panthers would have swept the finals, I could see Bob getting it. I'm sure I remember Hextall going and getting the Conn Smythe when they lost to the Oilers.

I didn't know Barkov was Finnish

I hope they start doing what Vegas did and put the names on it right away.

He deserved it, but I wished he came out and got it.

McDavid should get the Conn Smythe

Right when they pulled Skinner they gave the puck away.

Missing 4 open nets and still won. Note to other teams don't have Corry Perry on your team if you want the Cup.

Stecher missed out on getting the Cup

Congratulation Florida you won your 1st Stanley Cup and made it the most rememberable one. 2-1 FLA

I still believe you break a stick in your zone just get to the bench and get a new one

Jets are looking to trade Rutger McGroarty, if that happens does he sign with his new team?

So, Smith Entertainment Group wanted an expansion team, but with the NHLPA and NHL not getting an answer from Alex Meruelo on when an arena would be built. That is when the NHL decided to have Meruelo sell the hockey operations and players to Ryan Smith (SEG), with Meruelo keeping the Coyotes intellectual property (name and history), the AHL team and a 5 year exclusive window to bring back the Coyotes. The NHL treated the Utah move as an expansion team just without the draft. Meruelo who could have had this all started if he worked with ASU on the old golf course across from Tempe Market place or with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (they own Talking Stick Resort and everything along the 101 north of the Salt River to North Scottsdale). He won't work with ASU because he can't have a sportsbook there and with the tribe, he can't have the housing and sports book on their land. With the land they were trying to get in the auction it had to be rezoned which was brought up by the PHNX Coyotes guys in May saying, "there needs to be a special use permit for an arena." The original plan for that land was to build a hockey (and basketball or volleyball) complex that would have an arena around 3,000 to 7,000 seats. He wants to get the area to be a "Theme Park" district, so he doesn't have to pay taxes and the Pheonix Mayor said no. Alex Meruelo is basically an incompetent owner who just blames everyone for not being prepared from the Tempe vote to not having a lawyer who specializes in rezoning. Oh, he still hasn't started the arena he was going to build for the University of Nevada. Edit: I also forgot to mention that Meruelo has until December 2027 to let the NHL know he is bringing the team back and not really 5 years. So, he has to have a half-built arena, pay the $1 billion to activate the team, and give 18 months' notice to the NHL.

3-0

The blueline rule need to be the neutral zone side for the puck to be out/offsides.

Waved off, way to close to over turn 2-0

2-1
