yeah yeah it doesn't say anything about rejoining the wings but c'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn stevie!

!

saw a (good, smart) wings blogger downplaying it a bit by asking why yzerman would sign up for "joe dumars levels of scrutiny" with a rebuilding wings team which is otm

also ken holland has a two year contract that started in april

I have not seen wings twitter in this kind of meltdown of emotion since losing to the hawks in the playoffs in 2013

you probably don't want a GM with a habit of acquiring every ex-ranger possible anyway

auston matthews has some Hands

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtBiL4PW7rQ

looking forward to a wings season full of 8 to 12 goal games decided by one or two goals either way

the caps are going to shoot 33% this year and that's just how it is

kessel best

The bandwagon will be letting me off here for periodic posts as the Leafs do wonderful things. Matthews tied a few other guys tonight for most goals through five games with nine.

When I started broadcasting in 2002, I had to remind myself not to be the President of the Pavel Datsyuk fan club every time I did a Wings game. He was my favourite player to watch. I feel the same way about #Canucks EP in 9 bloody games. #magic

Wow. #Canucks pass on Cody Glass and Gabriel Valardi at No.5 to select Swedish playmaking C Elias Petterssen. #NHLDRAFT2017

— Ben Kuzma (@benkuzma) June 23, 2017

comments on this are fun to read if you ever need a reminder that Canucks fans are a bunch of dum-dums

every canadian fanbase imo

tbf no fanbases have any clue aboot drafting or much of anything else

except for the penguins signing jack johnson -- literally everyone knew that was an awful deal

whelp Coach Q out. top office scapegoating him for a couple of years of terrible roster moves, i guess.

more interesting career than, say, guy carbonneau

he's such a mensch: https://www.nhl.com/panthers/news/luongos-open-letter-to-the-fans/c-308071408

truly a new era when the oilers are winning bizarre deals

I do feel obliged to say this: the Lucic-Neal CGY-EDM trade is one for one. 😜

Great trade (to Oilers fan me) if true
