I hope they do an entire tear down of the front office. Loved Neely as a player but he’s no good upstairs. Sweeney needs to go as well obviously.

Not sure they’ll trade Pasta but things probably need to get worse before they get better.

How this man or anyone associated with the front office kept their jobs after the 15 draft should be studied. That has to be one of the biggest displays of "fumbling the bag" ever known to man. If you are a hockey fan and don't know the 15 Bruins draft screw up, are you really a hockey fan?

This Ontario series is quickly becoming must-watch TV,... if the Leafs lose tonight, oh boy.

Considering the players that were available, The 2015 draft when they had 3 picks in a row is one of the all time flubs.

Dude, the NYI had to be shitting all over themselves running to podium to take Barzel with the very next pick. Pretty sure Lou pulled a hammy jumping over the table.

The next 3 picks. Plus Boeser at #23 and Konecny at #24. Woof

That Stars game just now was fire

 

[KPENN]

Absolute nonsense that the #5 and #8 ranked teams in the league play in the first round

 

[ACamp1900]

If you’re an Avs fan tonight, ouch,… that’s a tough beat

 

[ACamp1900]

Hole-lee-shit

Unreal last 24 hours of nhl hockey. If you missed it you missed out. Great stuff

Easily the best professional sport.

Easily the best professional sport.

Depends on the criteria used i suppose. Hockey is undervalued but so much is their own fault with strikes and lockouts. If you don't want to be the 4th of 4 professional leagues, you simply cannot have such frequent work stoppage.

Every time you do that, fans start finding other things to do. The other big screwup was taking pros out of Olympics. It provides the single best way to get new fans or to re-engage former/lukewarm fans.

Hockey continues growing in the US. I wonder how far off we are from consistently being at Canada's level. Americans make up 30% of the league now, up 10% from 2010. Canada has fallen from 82% in 1980 to about 40% today.

As major (top level) American sports leagues go I’ll take the NHL, not ignoring its faults, over MLB, NFL, MLS (here’s hoping the USL wins that battle) and the,…. lol, nba

Same....hell I'll take the AHL and ECHL over all of those too. Can't beat Fort Wayne Komets games.

It’s funny how the NHL decides the draft from one big keno game!!

I do like the live draw.

 

[ACamp1900]

Lil clunky on their first live lottery but I still like it,…

 

[FU BK]

Hopefully Hawks can get #3

 

[FU BK]

Hell yeah....hopefully Hagans or Misa is still there at 3. If not give me Porter Martone

 

[ACamp1900]

Pens might have back to back picks,… but I doubt rangers decide on this year and best they aren’t a draft team next year

 

[KPENN]

I hate hockey

 

[fightingirish26]

Flyers...fml

 

[KPENN]

Flyers...fml

Yuppppppppp. They’re cursed

 

[bkess8]

I want to like hockey more and more but can’t seem to get into it other than the four nations or Olympics. It would probably help if I had a team to follow or like but currently I don’t, other than Merica!

 

[ACamp1900]

I’ve liked these Panther teams for the last few years,… Matthew, Bennett the guys everyone else seems to hate I like actually… but seeing that fucking dirty ass rat bastard hyping the Panthers up just now??? Fuck that bitch and now fuck the panthers lol

My thoughts exactly. Cannot stand that fucking rat bitch, and throw seth Jones little bitch ass on top= go Leafs

 

[ACamp1900]

My mixed kids love ‘Mijo’ Matthews and the ‘Scota-Pino’ Robertson brothers , one of which plays for Toronto so yeah, go Leafs. I’d go for them anyway but added family pressure.
