I think the best we can hope for is picking around 7-10 (I think we're currently at 9).

Don't look now but the Yotes are suddenly playing good hockey and moving up the standings. Blues still holding the 9th spot at 63 points but we've got a big cluster now between 5th-9th. Montreal is at 5th with 58 points.

In a 4-1 game, I love it! And actually all three turned out to just be great passes as a Springfield player was constantly cherry picking and easily the first to the puck. He's giving Marty Brodeur vibes in this video.

If they are up by two goals or more I would love it.

Can't wait for him to try it up here. You know Binnington will be just as competitive then.

I just hope either goalie has a 2 goal lead to play with at some point next season.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

Interesting piece in The Athletic about each teams top pairing Defense and how they rank. Blues is Parayko and Leddy. They are 1 of only 10 pairings with a 5v5 goal differential in the negative ranking 30 out of 32 pairings. Only the Hawks and Jackets had a worse pairing.

By the way, the #2 pairing in hockey is Seattle's Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson.

That would be hysterical. Next season the Bruins will be stepping backwards a bit as Bergeron and Krejci retire. Tampa will be yet another year older and will likely experience a bit of attrition as some new deals kick in for a couple guys. It would be amazing if the Leafs traded away Matthews the year they're finally most likely to make it out of that division. I hope they do it, but also know that this is just Strickland begging for clicks.

I don't know about you, but I'm taking Leddy and Parayko over Dunn and Petro anyday ;)

Coyotes worst to first? That would be insane if that happened. Terrible trade off in logos by the way, going from the Maple Leaf to Coyote...................I guess it's possible Matthews would tell the Leafs, hey, I want to test the market, but at the same time the Toronto Maple Leafs are such an iconic franchise it's hard to believe he'd leave Toronto.

Snuggerud's Minnesota made it to the frozen four and they are many people's pick to win it all as the top seed. I'll be watching and rooting for them! They play tomorrow at 3CST vs Boston U on ESPN2

This semifinal matchup will also be streamed on ESPN+. And the game is at 4 PM CDT, since we're in Daylight Savings Time now.
