NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

Kind of been the Canes mantra the last few seasons of running into the hottest goalie in the playoffs.

Brutal way to lose the game, but it does feel like everything is coming together at the right time for the Panthers.

Not giving up after one game, but kind of glad I'm not as invested in sports like I used to be. 😅
 
Craig Conroy will be named the Calgary Flames' new general manager, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Conroy has been a part of the Flames' front office since 2010 and has held the assistant general manager title for nine years. He also spent parts of nine seasons as a player in Calgary.

Brad Treliving mutually parted ways with the Flames in April after nine years as the team's general manager. His contract expires on June 30.

Among Conroy's first tasks will be hiring a head coach. Recently promoted president of hockey operations Don Maloney fired Darryl Sutter earlier in May.

The official announcement of Conroy's promotion is expected Tuesday, per TSN's Salim Valji.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were given permission to speak with former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday's edition of "32 Thoughts."

Toronto decided to part ways with Dubas on Friday. His contract expires June 30, so teams wanting to talk to the 37-year-old before that date must get the Maple Leafs' permission.

Pittsburgh fired general manager Ron Hextall and president of hockey operations Brian Burke in April.

The Penguins were very close to the end of their search for a new head of hockey operations before Dubas became available, Friedman added.

Buffalo's Jason Karmanos, Carolina's Eric Tulsky, Dallas' Steve Greeley, New Jersey's Dan MacKinnon, and Tampa Bay's Mathieu Darche are among the candidates believed to have been a part of Pittsburgh's second round of interviews for their GM vacancy, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Dubas was in the Maple Leafs' front office for nine years, operating as the team's GM for the past five. Toronto made the playoffs each year during his tenure at the helm and set single-season franchise records for wins and points. Despite the regular-season success, the Maple Leafs managed just one postseason series victory, which came this year against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Prior to being let go, a candid Dubas spoke about his uncertain future and a lack of interest in moving elsewhere.

"I definitely don't have it in me to go anywhere else," he said. "It'll either be here (with the Leafs) or it'll be taking time to recalibrate and reflect on the seasons here. You won't see me next week pop up elsewhere; I can't put (my family) through that after this year."

Would be the perfect hire for you. Extremely jealous/still angry about this whole situation.
 
The Stars amazing inability to both hold a lead and not give up a quick goal in OT is fairly troubling. Vegas isn't a team to mess around like that. Hopefully we can take game 3 or this is pretty much done by Saturday.
