I don’t really care for him to win any more cups but I for sure want him to pass Gretzky’s goal totals

think of how amazing the b2b Cup celebration would be though

Yeah, he's won 1 now so I don't care about that no more. If it ain't my team winning the cup, then it's gotta be a new team that hasn't one it yet (most of the time)

I’m still holding out hope Jones figures out how to play goalie so jumbo joe can go out on top

Edmonton’s Connor McDavid will have a hearing today for an Illegal Check to the Head on NY Islanders’ Nick Leddy.

It's a pretty blatant headshot, he should be sitting a couple games.

Trade! Ottowa and Columbus

Believe the full trade is: Abramov, Davidsson and a 1st RD pick for Duchene and Bergman. And a conditional 1st RD pick if Matt Duchene signs with Columbus

[Wulfgang]

Kucherov is pretty good.

Like Duchene for the Jackets; think he’s relieved to simply get out of the Ottawa dumpster fire and they probably have a decent chance of signing him to term.

Jackets going all in without even being in a playoff spot at the moment.

DET/WSH] Nick Jensen and 5th round pick for 2020 2nd round pick and Madison Bowey

[Judai]

sucks Bowey never developed at all but Jensen should stabilize the bottom pairing alongside Djoos(Orpik).

I feel Bowey never got a fair shake, being stuck with the black hole that is Orpik. But Siegenthaler looked great this year and our organizational defense depth is p good

Also not thrilled to give up another pick,esp a 2nd

Pairing with Orpik sucks but he had some time this year while Orpik was injured and looked pretty awful paired with Djoos/Sieg. Maybe he'll figure it out in DET but he really never looked good here, meanwhile, Djoos and Sieg have looked good even alongside Orpik/Bowey.

and Jensen has looked very good the last couple of years. Good defensively, not much offense but still a decent puck mover and great at breakouts.

I find it pretty hilarious that he gets traded to CBJ from Sens....and is playing against Sens tonight.

[Cail]

I hope Jensen isn’t at the expense of Djoos

Washington just signed Jensen 4yrs 2.5mil AAV

Makes the 2nd Rd pick much more acceptable

2 games for mcjesus

[Vaspinne]

McJesus nailed with a 2-day suspension

2 games for mcjesus

Goddamnit

[Obsidian]

Was hoping for 3 so he'd miss the game against the Leafs, but oh well.
