I see McDavid making his teammates come in two weeks early for training camp paid off

Tonight will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of the Canucks' season.

For those curious, the Canucks are still going full Breakfast Club.

Looks like they've retired Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" as their victory song, though.

That had to be one of the worst opening night losses ever, right?

NHL loves going backwards.

Apparently they want to abandon their current draft setup where you have GMs, scouts and other personnel at the drafts and just make it like other sports where its just the players and that's it.

Does the league not realize the draft is one of the things they're BETTER at than all other leagues? From having all these trades announced on the spot (and seeing GMs talking and guys on phones and walking over to other draft tables) to having a guy go up there and put on his new jersey while having the team staff there is the highlights of it.

If you want to remove one thing from the draft, just ban people from giving speeches before making their picks. We don't need 31 GMs or scouts coming up and getting a cheap pop from the local fans and then congratulating the Stanley Cup winners.

I think Auston Matthews is a goal scorer.

Just read that Brian Burke said he'll pay anyone's fines if they use pride tape.

I'm sure fines aren't anywhere close to the reason someone won't be using pride tape, but Burke is one of the more surprising people you constantly hear good stories about as time goes on. Obviously he's been a big supporter of pride for a while now, but just in general, for a guy who is from the "old school" hockey culture mindset, he is definitely not like most of the old school hockey personalities.

Will probably age badly but I don't think TB makes the playoffs this year, they look very sloppy and don't have Vasy bailing them out.

Lots of empty seats in Buffalo for that Lightning game.
