It's just disconcerting that as I proceed through my 40s, I so often genuinely do not know the difference between like 4 years and 7 years anymore.

Also the Penguins have now gone longer since their last Cup than they did after Bylsma's Cup. It feels like they won like 4 or 5 years ago, whereas the Bylsma/MAF Yakkety Sax era felt like it lasted 25 years.

It's weird and a bit haunting because it makes me realize that I am going to die of old age in what to me is going to feel like about 3 years.

If history has taught me anything we will now see a future Hall of famer traded from Edmonton to Anaheim for picks and prospects and the ducks will win the cup next year.

Playoffs are no big deal,

I saw Okposo celebrating last night, and I completely missed that he went to Florida. Good for him. He played for some truly dire teams during his career.

Honestly, if trading for Perry kick-started the Duck's window of contention I think I'd take it.

Honestly, the Oilers should trade Draisaitl for depth. He seems to disappear and/or get injured in the playoffs.

To clarify, he disappears as the playoffs go on / later in the playoffs.

That's kind of what I see as the big issue for Edmonton. Their depth sucks, so as a Head Coach you either visibly run the treads off the tires with McDavid and Draisatl, or you can play some of those other guys, lose, and get fired.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm

2022 he had a hosed ankle from Mikey Anderson and this year he's got a broken hand and a hosed back. Trading him for "depth" is nuts.

The Oilers depth sucks? They seemed to be scoring a bunch from what I saw.

Now D depth? Sure.

I wonder if the Panthers will out-party the 2018 Capitals. I think they might have that potential in them.
