Couturier ahead of Scheifele , i don't think so

Yeah, I didn't like that either. You'd figure Scheifs would make the final roster though?

They'd be insane to match if the return was four first round draft picks. If Boston makes that offer sheet, I'd drive Trouba to the airport myself. And I love Trouba. But that's four potential lo

Lots of interesting decisions made. Couts ahead of Scheifs is indeed head scratching however Couts plays the pk and is a checking center. Still don't agree tho.

You think he would but the team already has a lot of centre's on it so i don't see him making the team, i'm not that upset since i wont be watching.

Lawless reports NHL will announce heritage classic in winnipeg this sunday. Game to be played in October.

Little birdie tells me NHL ha already been booking hotel rooms. So it's confirmed.

Because EDM is our greatest rival?

Place your bets on 15-20c weather.

McDavid is a huge draw. I'd rather see the Habs or Leafs but no problems with Deadmonton.

I don't care how old the Team Canada roster is, they have to be considered the favorites....the players they didn't name could make up another team.

Im sure I read somewhere tjay warm weather isn't actually a problem. I think they had an outdoor game in vegas when it was 20 degrees. But it's third weekend in October. So it could go either way but probably 5-10 degrees Id guess...?

Warm weather isn't an issue. Neither is cold. The biggest concern in mid to late October would be rain. That would definitely mess with things. Not knowing the day yet but mid to late Oct could be anywhere from -5 to plus 15

Not sure where to put this so I will put it here...

Only two teams have lost less than 20 games...Caps and Ducks.

If the regular season ended today, the only playoff team with a minus goal differential would be Detroit at -5. Otherwise, every plus team would be in the playoffs and every minus team wouldn't be? Coincidence? I don't think so.

That is really impressive considering how shitty the Ducks started the year. Man, did they turn it around...

I think the USA has the best roster on paper. Canada is old.

The USA roster has an older average age than Canada...

Really??? Interesting. I guess he blinked first (or his idiot agent). Its a smart move. He needs to repair his reputation and it doesnt hurt to try and stay in gane shape and compete at a high level going into the off-season if he wants to get a solid trade done.

Yzerman stood his ground and why not? What leverage did Drouin have?

Maybe he wants his name on the cup.

AHL Calder Cup?

He tried a ploy and it didn't work....I am guessing poor advice from his agent...

Getting sick of Kerry Fraser's Whats Up Ref segment...

- Ovie hits a guy on the numbers, dead on, injury... no suspension

- Reaves hits a guy on the should, yup back is turned, injury... three games

Fraser just upholds every refs call in every article... shows how subjective the rules can be used. Boring.

Ovie pretty clearly let up on the hit. Reaves drove the guys head into the glass. Imo there's a big difference between the two plays.

Phil Esposito who is pretty in tune with what happens in Tampa said that it wasn't Walsh's idea for Drouin to sit out, he actually advised him against sitting out.. It was Drouins parents that advised him to sit out. I like Drouin but man there are some troubling signs with that Kid. I'd love to see him on the Jets but... if some of these stories about him are true, i don't know if he'd be worth the possible headache he'd cause.
