Before I saw the responses I was thinking: - this year’s first - Cossa - Bertuzzi So pretty close to what Buddha was thinking. You could maybe if you were lucky do this years first, a 2nd and Bertuzzi is be fine with trading Bertuzzi if we used salary cap space to sign a comparable replacement.

Zetterberg was better defensively and had way more playoff points too.

Kate hits #1 on the UK charts 37 years after the song was first released. Thanks to its use within an episode of Stranger Things.

Yeah, they're grown-ass adults, they should be able to do something separately by now. Vancouver sports radio was saying that if only one got in, it probably would have been Henrik. Mogilny suffers because there is a limit of 4 male inductees per year and new guys keep being eligible. He has to wait for a a somewhat soft class. Mogilny not only has the stats, but the intangible interest as well given how important he was to the early Russian surge into the NHL.

I thought Canadian TV pick it up yesterday but so far no. Will see it once it pops up on Sportsnet or TSN or ESPN puts it online. Knowing the Avs just won the puck will take away some of the satisfaction though of seeing Lemieux's face smashed in again.

Zetterberg, the Sedins and Luongo are eligible for this year's HOF class, with inductees being announced today. Alfredsson and Mogilny are a couple of players from past years not in, but still on the ballot. I think Zetterberg is a HOFer, but not sure he gets in on first ballot. I can see him missing out this year.

I think we will have a new head coach, a Tampa assistant, by Thursday. May wait till after the parade.

I’m fine with the waving off but yeah the ref waited way too long, should have done it 3 seconds earlier.

Makar, the Smyrhe winner, was the perfect draft pick for the rebuild.

No Bettman?

6 minutes to go. If Tampa ties it now would be completely against the run of play.

A strong 2nd period push by Colorado flipped the game and, now ahead 2-1, they are 20 minutes from the Cup.

On track so far. 1-0 Tampa after 1

Mantilply has not allowed a run in 26 straight home appearances. Yeah, but wait until now he faces the mighty offense of the 2022 Tigers

Greene with the screaming line drive through the infield to get two runs in* *I am listening on the radio, I can use my imagination how I like, regardless of how Dan describes it.

Interesting chat (to me) Dan is having with Avila about research into the impact of storing baseballs at high humidity.

What an effort by Tampa. On to Game 6, prime time on Sunday night

Bolts are 3:33 from forcing Game 6.

That was a great end to the 2nd period. This 3rd period could be a barnburner. 2-1 Tampa early.

Kuemper is the Avs’ (only) weak link. 1-0 Tamps late in 1st.

But Nadri jumped early. If a goalie is pulled and skates towards his bench, you can’t hop on the ice while he is still at the blue line. You have to wait for him to get close. McKinnon was nowhere near the bench when Nadri jumped the gun.

Exactly.
