Yeah, this is where I'm at on Wennberg too. His analytics are much stronger than his conventional stats and I always thought he was solid this year when watching the Kraken. I was actually hoping...
I mean, most of the pending UFAs that are part of these deadline deals aren't worth the picks they're swapped for, but that's the market. I can guarantee you that there was more of a bidding war...
Calgary's problem is that the teams ahead of them are also playing well; they can't make up any ground.
This will be my first BE and, even after looking back at the schedules from previous years, I was surprised at just how much overlap there is between artists that would clearly attract the...
The key with the postseason OT is that it's treated as an entirely new game with each OT period being a 'quarter', two quarters being a 'half', etc. The timing remains important because each team...
That's covered in the link I included above. Short answer: yes.
The broadcast (surprisingly) was correct. Because the Chiefs were still on their initial possession, if the clock had run out at the end of the first OT 'quarter', they would have simply proceeded to...
That's part of why S&A is my favorite of the last three studio albums from Rush (not including Feedback in this). The fact that it doesn't fatigue my ears to get through the entire album in one...
It's covered towards the end of the article here:

NMT is short for 'New Money Ticker', a humorous reference to the currency that some beers, like the Elmer NMT, have become in the beer trading circuit.
I would argue that they're a better overall team than my Seahawks, who also sit at 6-3.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Neither do most people in Arizona.
What a tool belt.
No huge surprises. Top 5 picks were pretty much a foregone conclusion--it was just a matter of the order from 2-5. Those are also the only ones who will even sniff the NHL next year, as is usually...
Dallas, yes...but that is no surprise. Carolina is a great squad...but they're playing a hot team at the wrong time.
Pretty sure the Wings will never be forced back into the west; that was one of their major beefs with the old alignment (Columbus felt the same).
QC is the logical choice (as would...
The Chicago Tank Job worked.
Six of the eight lower seeds win game one. Read as much (or as little) as you would like into that, but it isn't a common occurrance. The last time that all four higher seeds in the west lost game...
Finally, all matchups are set save for two--the Colorado-Nashville game tonight will finish things off in the west and determine those. Playoffs begin on Monday.
Not that it will matter at all...
Really sad news. RIP...
Pretty much every game involving any of those top six teams in the west is going to be critical going forward with a total of six points separating them at the moment. The top three teams in the...
Just watched the Hockey East Tournament Championship last weekend--great game between BU and Merrimack. Always watch the tournament, though there are several years where I've only been able to catch...
I think we may be coming to a tipping point with some of the 'underachieving' talent in this league. There are just so many solid young players that have haven't quite lived up to their potential and...
It's rare that I can say that the NFL made the absolute, 100% correct decision but they certainly did in this case. Hoping for the best for this young man.
CBS & Fox prevented the marquee matchups from being flexed to the evening slot.
Well, NJ and NY...
Opening the season in...wherever the hell it was the Preds and Sharks played...and then 'opening the season' again on a night that featured only four teams (none of them Canadian!) just feels wrong....
It's currently Connor Bedard...and will almost certainly be at draft time as well. Not that it really matters to some teams (see Shane Wright).
Depending on how deep you want to dive into this,...
On April Fool's Day in 1984 (it was a Sunday), MTV played all 18 versions back-to-back.
Sorry, I've already given my sympathy to Blackhawks fans. The 'Bust for Bedard' race is on.
Free agency just got even more interesting with Gaudreau's entry into the market. Rarely do we see a player of his caliber become a UFA. Should be a very active first day of free agency tomorrow.
...
That trade is just as much about Arizona getting to the floor as the Oilers dumping salary.
Condolences to Blackhawks fans whose team management has decided to rebuild by trading away Dach and DeBrincat while holding on to Kane and Toews. Makes no sense whatsoever.
The draft always brings some deals and transactions.
The Avs trading for Georgiev means that Kuemper will in almost all likelihood be playing somewhere else next season.
The Pens signing...
I'm managing, for now.
RIP
Nope, not even close. The Flames and Oilers teams from the mid-80s would never have played that poorly. Calgary was obviously better but both teams played really sloppy last night.
Yep. If the guy they feel they need at QB wasn't available in the draft this year, better to use a pick on someone else. Kinda had a feeling that this was the way they were going to go anyway. I...
Don't know what the hell they saw on the replay. Pretty clear that the goal should've counted.
Great interview--thanks for posting this!
Just posted this in both of the PE fantasy leagues so I thought posting this here too would be appropriate, especially if there are some of you who would be interested in fantasy hockey this fall:
...
Detroit is hosting the 2024 draft, not this year's. Vegas is hosting this year and KC in 2023.
The Lightning traded more for Brandon Hagel than the Knights traded for Jack Eichel.
15743
Yep, been like that for years. So many other sites offer better analysis, and for free.
I guess I don't know what you mean by 'off of the TV'. The national ESPN broadcasts are on TV...ESPN, or ESPN2, or perhaps TNT. The broadcasts that are on ESPN+ wouldn't be on national TV anyway,...
On games that are not nationally broadcast, you get a choice between the home/road feeds, meaning you get the home/road announcers. Just depends on if the game is being broadcast on ESPN/TNT or not.
Actually surprised to see complaints about the ESPN deal. Not only is ESPN+ cheaper than what I had been paying for Center Ice for years but the video quality has been far superior (there were still...
Again, Eichel's neck issue...and how that whole issue evolved...is the key difference here--to me, it's just a much different situation than those other deals.
They received two of the Knights' best young players/prospects in Tuch and Krebs plus a very good likelihood for a 1st round draft pick next year. I doubt they would have received a better offer...
Finally...

Exactly.
'Traditional' PE fantasy hockey draft is tonight!
Just renewed both of the PE Fantasy Leagues. If you're interested in participating, we currently have one spot open in our keeper league available. If you prefer to participate in a traditional...
They're not on the tour until the California dates, and then the second half of the tour beginning in late August.
Just a prospect, plus they get about $7 million in cap space.
Going to be interesting to see how Fleury handles this. I could see him deciding to report based on how legitimate he thinks...
Fleury to the Blackhawks. Totally did not see that one coming, especially with the season he had for Vegas.
Almost without question.
