    The Oilers just traded Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner. Aside from that probably being a dumb trade on the Oilers part, they now also have to consider that they turned Jordan Eberle into Ryan Spooner. Not to knock on Spooner or Strome too much but holy shit What a joke the Oilers are.

    Seattle is officially getting an NHL team.

    I'm really excited for that local rivalry... but I worry a bit about diluting the talent pool and strength of the league with a 32nd team. Personally I think there are enough teams with poor attendance to shut one or two down, move one or two, and have 28 stronger teams/fanbases. Guess they just can't pass on that expansion fee despite there being teams with under 70% attendance records

    It is also cool to see pro hockey players now coming out of places like Arizona (Austin Matthews) and Florida (Shayne Gostisbehere and Jakob Chychrun) though.

    What a douchebag. I hope the Blackhawks pass on him after this.

    Stumbled across this story told be the Canucks current play-by-play man and former goalie which I had to share:


    “I had the trainer get me a hot dog,” John Garrett said. “Nobody saw you, the only person who knew was the trainer. The best hot dogs in the league, by the way, were at Le Colisee. Toasted buns and everything. So I’m eating one and Dan Bouchard was the (starting) goalie. So he’s playing and the game is going OK, so I figured I’m not going in this one. Some nights, when the other team scores three quick ones, you had a hint you might be going in so you get rid of the dog. But he lets in one goal and he’s (ticked) off at whoever’s on the ice at the time and he just charged off the ice.

    "Well, I’m sitting there and I’ve go the hot dog tucked in my pad. So I’ve got to go in and I stand up and put my mask on. I can’t reach down and dig the dog out of my pads, people are looking at me. So I go out there and finish the game. I had to fall down a couple of times and mustard and ketchup was flying. I had to tighten the straps on my pads so the dog doesn’t come out. The trainer’s just killing himself (with laughter).”

    This Canucks rookie we drafted last year is now 3rd in points in his first 32 NHL games with 36 points. Elias Pettersson. Kid is unreal, nice to see a good rookie in town. I don't remember the last time we had a truly exciting one.
