A lot of people had high hopes for Tampa last year and this year they didn't have such a strong showing

Yep, the Penguins are the best this year. Kessel could be the best player on the ice if he took his fitness and condition seriously.

Still not a fan though. 😉

Weren't there tons of reports during his time with the Bruins and Maple leafs of those conditioning issues

Yeah, he still obviously produces. He has the rings to prove it.

While rings are impressive, context should be too. One question I'd ask is if you put any player that is in high regard and put him on the worst team currently, would that team move from bottom of the barrel to outside shot playoff contender. Often that question can sound rather silly but when you think that only 5 guys are playing at any given moment (well 6 with the goalie) you're effectively giving an upgrade to 20% of your on the field (ice) team

Silly season is in full swing--Hawks trade Panarin and Hjalmarson to Columbus and Arizona respectively, for Brandon Saad and Connor Murphy. This is big.

no more Bread-Man! and the excitement he brought and the skill with the puck :( :cry:  but... Panarin was NOT a defensive guy, too small and in the playoffs :facepalm: terrible. Saad was missed by Toews big time and he was very good at both ends of the ice, Tough too! and with Hossa being gone/out they needed Saad back, I think this is a good deal; and the money they will save the next few years with Saads locked contracted and what Panarin will get :ahhh

Hjalmarson... was great in his day but he's older now and the Hawks need speed and cap space so I understand this move also. Murphy might not be as good as Nik but I'm sure they're not done with defense deals yet :salute:

now Patrick Sharp is coming back to the Hawks! :whistle: (took a big pay cut with incentives).

can't hurt I guess especially with the new/young guys and they could sure use his leadership. Hopefully he can stay relatively healthy for part of the season

Mr. Bryan Murray, who grew up in Shawville, passed away yesterday.

In the NHL he worked for Washington, Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and Ottawa.

35 years working in the league.

Las Vegas Golden knights? have I missed something?

And seriously, the Pens to repeat again? How many teams have managed to get 3 cups in a row?
