  1. Word out of some League Exec's is that the Patriots deflated the game balls for their game today. What punishment will they get if they're found "guilty"? More importantly, how does deflating footballs help your team in anyway?

      ^TRR, this story is picking up a lot of traction. Is he butt hurt? Probably, because his team got completely dominated; but he is in no way blaming it on the soft balls they used last night. He even said that in a subsequent tweet after the original tweet he posted. You and NuckPatsFan need to stop getting your knickers in a knot and just accept that this could be a possible story.

      Didn't mean to make it sound like I was attacking you last night, HowYaDrouin, my apologies, still had adrenaline flowing. I can respect the fact that there is an open investigation currently going on, like there was last week after Harbaugh thought there were illegal formations.

      ^ no worries my friend, blood gets flowing after a huge win like that, can't blame a guy for backing his team.

  2. Anyone want to sell me their xbox one or PS4? NHL 16 is making me do it.

  3. Barzal's back up to 7th in the March rankings; there goes that pipe dream.

      Even though he played well for his role in the WJC, I don't see him as a Top 3 kind of guy.

  4. January ISS Top 30 is out, Konecny to 14, and Kylington to 12? Yes please.

      I think Rantanen will become the most gifted forward from the 1st round other than McDavid. He plays an electrifying game and his WJC performance showed the world.

    3. Horvat

      Horvat

      we need a finnish prospect too :/

    4. Horvat

      Horvat

      hopefully gets a 2nd 1st

  5. 6-1 Pens over the Sabres, Crosby with 5 assists. BUF didn't get their first shot till 15 minutes into the 1st. Are they the worst team ever?

      Expansion teams should be excluded from futility records IMO.

    3. HowYaDrouin

      HowYaDrouin

      ^ agreed. Just some fun stats on those '74 caps, lost 39/40 on the road, including 37 straight and 17 straight losses overall.

    4. Baka

      Current Penguins vs Future Penguins. Both teams foundation on the same strategy.

  6. With the aquisition of Sven, I can almost guarantee that we take a Dman in the 1st; barring a huge faller.

      HowYaDrouin

      ^agreeing on all points.

      Barzal would be one of the few guys that I could see Benning taking in the 1st if he falls. He's been gushing over him all year. I feel like we have good LW - C - RW depth now, just lacking a blue-chip D prospect.

    3. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      In before YAY BARZAL!

      Oh no. I was not in before that.

    4. RockNroLLa.

      RockNroLLa.

      we wont have a chance at barzal unless we move up.

  7. Can Hansen snag a 2nd and a good prospect ?

      -AJ-

      I think Hansen snags either an early 2nd or a late 1st. A late 2nd and a decent prospect maybe. 

    3. Odd.

      Odd.

      2nd round pick.

    4. Pears

      Pears

      He should be able to. A contending team like say, Minnesota for example, could see him as the piece they need to get them over the hump. And with how deep their forward core will be for the next 5 years I think they'd be fine with giving up something like a 2nd and Greenway. 

  8. Scenario: Canucks bring in Julien. Chara gets brought in next season. Chara takes C from Henrik. We realize we're stuck in a post 1994 loop.

      Sure can't.. Just a funny scenario..

      Who's the 2016 equivalent of Brian Noonan?  Chris Kelly?

      Give him Hanks 33 while we're at it since that's Chara's number in Boston.

  9. Canucks cleaned up in the OHL Coaches polls. Cassels, Petit and Subban were all recognized.

      ^ I see him more as a Manny Malhotra of the last 3-4 years type player.

    3. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      wow, Subban for best offensive D-man AND best defensive PLAYER is pretty impressive.

    4. TheRussianRocket.

      TheRussianRocket.

      That's some promising news to hear, very promising.

  10. Flames up 5-2 on the Ducks, maybe catching the Ducks is possible after all... They're 10-10-1 over their last 21 games.

      @bob, I know it's a longshot, but if they lose tonight they'll be 11 points up and we'll have 3 games in hand. If we can find a way to make those up and go on a bit of a run to close the season, it's not entirely out of the question.

    3. desiboynux4lifee*******

      desiboynux4lifee*******

      I think flames hav a much better chance to catch them. Easier games for them.

      haha ryan kesler you picked a crap team horrible goalies

  11. Interesting take away from "A day in the Life of Trevor Linden" is that we're likely going after Pavel Zacha with our first this year. Doesn't hurt that he scored 2 goals the day Trev wen't to scout him.

      Dynamic forward. Risky but well worth it if we end up getting him.

    3. HowYaDrouin

      HowYaDrouin

      It kinda seemed like they're leaning for a boom or bust kinda player, they hinted at that in episode 1.

    4. TheRussianRocket.

      TheRussianRocket.

      Think that's what they have to do. Have a lot of safe prospects but no it factor guy like a Pastrnak (which Bruins took right after McCann lol). Totally understandable if they get him. Need a gamebreaker and hope he develops properly.

  12. Fun Fact of the Day: Avs goalie Reta Berra has more goals than the Toronto Maple Leafs forwards do over the past 5 games.

    1. Gstank29
    2. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      For a while in 2011-12, Cam Ward had more goals than Scott Gomez.

  13. At the end of last night's 2-0 loss to the Devils, the Oilers DJ played "Dont Stop Believing". 10/10 Trolling.

      Maybe he just really likes Journey.

      Wheels22

      Who doesn't really like Journey?

    3. NightHawkSniper

      NightHawkSniper

      Maybe the DJ doesn't like Journey but also doesn't like the Oilers losefest for the past few years so he wants payback against the crapty ownership group and plays the song.

      Just for that win, I hope they land McDavid.

      You think that was good just wait till you see him in beast mode!

  18. Hammond stops another 35 of 36 tonight. Now up to a .956 SV% and a 1.31 GAA. Unreal.

    1. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      Ottawa has Anderson and Lehner signed. Hammond RFA. Bishop 2.0 coming up?

  19. Connor McDavid on pace for 189 points this season. Sounds impressive until you find out that Ray Ferraro put up 192.

    1. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      Ray was actually a pretty good player, but different era yes.

  22. Fun Fact: Nick Bonino and Chris Higgins both have better ES P/60 than they do PP P/60.

    1. Erik Karlsson

      Erik Karlsson

      Higgins is not a good pp player. Kassian, Horvat or even Kenins should be a mainstay on the pp before him.

  23. Whenever I'm feeling down, I go on HFOilers and I always leave feeling better
