The Jets picked the absolute worst time to go on a losing skid.  Hellebuyck has been mediocre in the last month, while the offence has had problems.  After a disappointing home stand, Winnipeg will now embark on a 4 game road trip against 3 of the best 4 teams in the East Conference.

Winnipeg's only hope is for Hellebuyck to return to Vezina Trophy calibre play, and for Nashville and Calgary to choke.

Leafs completely throttled the Boilers last night.  Big win, considering Edmonton was playing much better as of late.  Mitch Marner is a hockey god.  He was the best player on the ice last night.

The Bedard sweepstake's are heating up.  Chicago, Columbus, Montreal, Philadelphia, and San Jose have been brutal this month.  Arizona and Vancouver are so inept, that they are actually winning games.  They should really look at sending the starting goalie to the minors and bring up an unproven ECHL goalie.

Here it stands:

1. Columbus 49 (25.5% chance of winning lottery)
2. San Jose 53 (13.5%)
3. Chicago 54  (11.5%)
4. Anaheim 55  (9.5%)
5. Montreal 60  (8.5%)
6. Philadelphia 62  (7.5%)
7. Arizona 65  (6.5%)
8. Vancouver 67  (6.0%)
9. St.Louis 67  (5.0%)
10. Detroit 73  (3.5%)
11. Washington 72  (3.0%)


Thoughts:

I don't want to see him in Columbus (never cared for them), but he could play with Gaudreau and Laine

San Jose? Nah. They are in a rebuild, but will the Bay area get excited for hockey?

Chicago would be a perfect fit.  Toews can mentor him, and this would turn the franchise around.

Anaheim?  No.  Small insignificant US market that will not care.

Montreal? My first choice. Bedard would be the first superstar forward since Guy Lafleur.

Philadelphia? Maybe. I enjoyed the Flyers 90s run with Lindros.

Arizona? HELL NO

Vancouver?  Sure.  I'm sure Bedard would love to play for his hometown.

Detroit? Hell yeah!  However it is a very longshit. However, Bedard can help the WIngs return to glory after a decade of mediocrity.

Washington would be cool if only to see Bedard and OVechkin on the same line.

Panthers' Eric and Marc Staal latest NHLers to refuse to wear Pride jerseys


I didn't even know these guys were still in the league lmao. You'd think all these clowns were being asked to suck a bunch of dudes off at centre ice the way they're acting about this corporate pink washing exercise.

You forgot Kanye.

Why don't the Staal brothers just shut up and play hockey?
Why doesn't Colin Kaepernick just shut up and play football?
Why doesn't JK Rowling just shut up and write books?
Why don't the Dixie Chicks just shut up and play their songs?
Why doesn't Gina Carano just shut up and get paid?
( ...etc.)

I feel like for many people, their feelings on some famous person expressing their views or their conscience is entirely contingent on whether they agree with that person.

Personally I support them, and James Reimer, and apparently the entire Blackhawks organization, in saying "no thanks".
