    Built for Boston by Brad Marchand (for The Players Tribune)

    Great read and gives a lot of insight into Marchand.

    Sick goal last night, Pastrnak to Marchand, turned out to be the game winner.

    How do you not love that effort by the Avs tonight? And with their third string goalie no less.

    Dirty dangled from McKinnon too.

    How do you not root for this team?

    Well, the B's made it past Toronto but they made that series a lot harder than it should have been. Definitely didn't look like one of the elite teams in the playoffs over the last 3 games. I don't hold out much hope against the Lightning to be honest. They have home ice advantage in the series and they only needed 5 games to dispatch the Devils, so they're well rested. Boston will have to play MUCH better if they want at least a puncher's chance in this series.

    SWAG Milan Hejduk's Mansion With Ice Rink and Custom Zamboni in Colorado Is Listed for $5.2M

    By Audrey Ference - realtor.com




    Next time you're drooling over a luxury home listing, ask yourself this: Does it come with a custom Zamboni?

    If not, skip it, because it is not as awesome as this house. Owned by former Colorado Avalanche forward Milan Hejduk, this six-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion in Parker, CO, has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a pro athlete's house, plus some you wouldn't.

    Like an indoor ice rink.

    Other amenities in the 16,873-square-foot palace include a wine room, seven fireplaces, a hot tub off the master bedroom, a home gym with a wet bar, 2.25 acres of land, an updated kitchen, parking for five vehicles, and a covered patio.





    The ice rink is in a separate structure on the property and includes an awesome wood-paneled clubhouse with a fireplace, small kitchen, second-story living room, and sleeping loft. We see this guesthouse earning the Airbnb gold medal.

    Not a big fan of lacing up ice skates? The ice rink could be dismantled and the space turned into a tennis court, garage, studio, or whatever tickles your fancy. But this would mean giving up the opportunity to operate a Zamboni owned by the three-time NHL All-Star.





    The private lot has incredible views of the surrounding mountains, and there's a golf course located in the development for those times when you're tired of being checked into the boards.

    The ice rink also offers a wealth of opportunities. Want to work on your slap shot? Ice dance rehearsal? Or Elvis Stojko cosplay meetup? At $5.2 million, it's hard to find a better deal on a place to skate that also sleeps 12. When you factor in what you're saving on ice rink fees, you're practically saving money.

    Hejduk, a native of the Czech Republic, played 14 seasons with the Colorado Avalanche and scored 375 goals over the course of his career. He was also a member of the gold medal–winning Czech hockey team at the 1998 Winter Olympics.

    Has an expansion team ever won the Stanley Cup in its first year?

    No expansion team has ever won ANY major sport championship.

    People have been arguing about whether Vegas got gifted an overly generous expansion draft and this is all bullshit/luck, OR whether their management under George McPhee actually made the moves to deserve this.

    I'm mostly in the latter camp... they fleeced teams at the draft to get better/more picks... they traded a 4th round for Reilly Smith, saw potentially in Alex Tuch and got him for a 3rd rounder, they found Erik Haula and with a bigger role he put up basically as many points as his previous two seasons combined. Other teams flat out fucked up and GIFTED them insanely good players like James Neal and William Karlsson - what were the Preds and Blue Jackets thinking? Along the same lines, the Panthers never should've fired Gerard Gallant last year. Vegas also made moves to get a few decent additions like Tatar at the deadline. They went in with a set goal of building a certain type of speed-based team and read the direction of the league this year just right.

    I don't like this mentality people have that expansion teams need to absolutely blow for years to get better and 'let their fans suffer like us' (a particularly common feeling in Vancouver where we never win ).

    Maybe at the next expansion teams should get to protect one more player each, but I still think that given the same exact expansion draft almost no GM's could do what George McPhee has done, nor Gerard Gallant.
