What the Hurricanes are doing right now really sucks. You take a city's team and then have a "Whalers Night" because you think you can scrape a buck out of the nostalgia?

It doesn?t mean much but it?s amusing to me that one of their players is dressed with a number that was retired by the whalers too

It's not even that much of a rant, just the dude filling up air time not letting the PbP do his job properly.
 
DownGoesBrown has a piece on his version of playoff formatting -- something that would make a Leafs /Habs or  Bruins/Habs, or even a Penguins/Capitals  Stanley Cup Final all the more possible:

quite the tirade by the Stars organization calling out Sequin and Benn on the shit they have been playing. Top paid players like #66 and 67 in the league. How embarrassing and glad we took a flyer on Sequin...me thinks he likes to party to hardy and he will have lots of money to continue to do so.
 
Goal scorers are funny. This is what Laine's season looks like broken down into 3 stretches:

First 12 games: 3 goals
Middle 12 games: 18 goals
Last 13 games: 2 goals

Tavares is better.

The "shit" has Benn and Seguin on pace for 65 and 69 points respectively  and while I suppose you could say this about Benn, Seguin is emphatically not being overpaid for his production.

For years, both guys drastically out produced their salaries and now they have a bumpy start to the season and this is how management behaves in public? The only thing embarrassing here is Lites' behaviour and the eagerness of bumpkin fans to cheer that sort of thing on.

The tendancy for fans to blame thier actual good players for team struggles rather than the management who can't manage to suppliment the talent with quality depth is puzzling to me.

From 13/14 to 17/18 (Seguin's first 5 seasons with the Stars) Seguin ranked 5th in the league in goals and 8th in points.

This is funny, but mostly sucks for Colorado.
 
The Leafs have literally never had the option of Seguin playing for them. That isn't a minor or trivial matter. It's actually pretty noteworthy in the current history of the team.
