Yup, Drake signed a 2 year contract with the Oilers yesterday.
Today, Boudreau is signed to coach the Wild while Guy Boucher is signed to coach the Senators.

Tanev and Hutton both had great games and both had an assist against Hungary at the Worlds. Tanev was the player of the game.
McJesus with a few ridiculous plays in the game. Boy has skillz.

LOL at TSN blogger trying to compare the St. Louis Blues cup run to Leicester City being nearly relegated to English second division last year and being 5000-1 to win this year. What a stupid take.

Thumbs to Leicester, Blues and coach carousel - Article - TSN

You don’t have to know anything about soccer in England to know about Leicester City. Their Premier League title is considered by many the greatest upset a sports league has ever seen.

Thus, it may be futile to search for comparisons.
The Philadelphia 76ers winning the NBA championship?
You’d have called that impossible this season, and it was, but no bookmaker was giving you the 5,000-1 odds that belonged to Leicester — not even close.
So take this with a large block of salt, but the NHL’s version of Leicester is St. Louis.
The Blues fit the file in two basic ways — they’ve never been champions, but they have been runners-up.

Leicester finished second in 1929. Thanks to the playoff setup that followed NHL expansion in 1967, the St. Louis Blues went to the Stanley Cup final in each of the first three years of their existence, didn’t win a game and haven’t been back.

This season offers a chance for St. Louis to wipe its name from the top of the list of NHL teams that have never poured anything into the Stanley Cup. It would be an upset of sorts. The Blues weren’t among the four of five teams rated top contenders, primarily because they had to start their playoff run against Chicago. However, they quickly emerged as a solid bet after dispatching the Blackhawks.
Now one win away from the Central Division title, the Blues are equal parts favourite and underdog. Again similar to Leicester, they’re in a position to do great things, but their history suggests otherwise.

I’d get an argument from San Jose, Nashville and Washington if I said a Stanley Cup victory for St. Louis would bring the biggest first-time celebration, but with Leicester in mind, the Blues are mighty appealing if you’re looking for a sentimental “thumbs up” choice.

Oh yeah, Matthews looking good for the US, but Laine is looking beast for Finland.
He is leading the tourny in scoring. He looks like Ovi mannng the top of the left faceoff circle for the one time shot.
and on his second goal today, he showed his NHL ready shot by picking the short side.

Completely stupid comparison. There's a salary cap and the Blues are full of stars. Leicester's entire roster costs less than single players from Chelsea, Man City, and United.

A more accurate comparison is the Utica Comets winning the Stanley Cup. Winning the Kentucky Derby riding a walrus. Winning the Super Bowl with a team full of second graders.

You don't pass up Matthews.

Even if Toronto wants Laine, they would be better trading down to 2nd and getting something from Winnipeg plus swapping picks..

Yzerman tried that logic by drafting Drouin to play with Stamkos but look how that turned out :troll:

Stamkos seems to have the worst luck sometimes. He breaks his leg a few years ago just before the olympics and now he's injured just in time for the playoffs :lol

Worse, not injured but sick. Heard it was a blood clot issue, so no timeline when he will be cleared by doctors.
Worse case scenario is a blood clot gets into the heart or brain and causes a stroke.
I believe Kris Letang had a similar issue too a few years ago.

I believe Stamkos is on blood thinners and it would be really bad if he gets a cut because the bleeding won't stop.

Crow to be named as Assistant Coach to Boucher in Ottawa

that's a pretty decent coaching tandem going on there now

Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat has the condition as well and his nba career could be over as a result of this.

Yeah i dont think TML will pass up on a true #1 center (Matthews) for a chance in the Stamkos FA sweepstakes.

You only pass up on Matthews if you only find Laine a better player than Matthews.

is anyone following the world championship? seems like nicklas jensen playing pretty well for Denmark. lol
