no canadian team has won the cup that I can remember (I was alive but not paying attention to the '94 Habs win), so it's obviously the Golden Goal

of course not, it's the leafs loss to boston in OT duh

Lehtonen, who was the leading scorer among defencemen in the KHL last year, is heading to the NHL. Apparently Jokerit let him go despite his contract not having an NHL clause. No news which team yet.

Probably because the NHL might vaguely play again while the KHL is stuck with the absolutely ghastly pandemic handling of Russia.

e: I was reading they're tossing doctors out of windows for not cooperating with the cover-up about how bad it really is over there. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/russia-brown-scary-coronavirus-1.5548593

It was cool that 16 teams in the NBA voted to keep the 16 team format. All these NHL teams that just voted for a format that works against them are wussies

honestly I think the 24 game play-ins were an effort to get as many games as possible for broadcast contract reasons, they can at least farm out the play-in rounds to RSNs and make those contracts slightly better

I liked what I saw from Day in the AHL this season, albeit only one game, but I guess I was missing something, as he got sent to the ECHL pretty quickly. Given his personal struggles, I'm glad he got a chance with a first-class organization. I'm guessing he's probably looking at playing in Europe.

More like Sean Dayvery. What were his personal struggles?

While he was in juniors, his brother, who was his role model, went to jail for a DUI which killed someone. His mom also had a severe illness. As a result, his training and conditioning fell off. As a result, apparently every team other than the Rangers listed him as "do not draft" due to "character issues." We never heard about any such issues after he was drafted.

I think he was just a huge kid who grew early and was able to compete in juniors early because of that, but didn't make it as a pro.

Good on him for making the best of things. I hope he does well wherever he ends up. :unsmith:

This is pretty optimistic since I give maybe 1 in 10 odds of the Cup actually being awarded this year

sorry, I guess I didn't make the sarcasm obvious

I think the NHL is being loving stupid and hockey needs to take a nice long break so that people don't loving die

If someone's defense against a rape charge is "actually, consensual sex with me is so embarrassing that she went with the less traumatic option: a falsified accusation of rape" then....I don't even know anymore.

And it worked?

gently caress it, if we're gonna guillotine the rich, then we may as well make miniature versions to deal with those sorts of dudes.

Aren’t NHL hockey players already the rich?

specifically, this is looking over the highway in between the two hotel/arena blocks being used in Toronto, so anyone (players) going from one to the other will see it
