NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

I’d fire Sullivan after this game for not making the playoffs.

I hope the VGK sends him an Edible Arrangement & a Thank You card.

This entire post season, virtually any recollection of the Panthers’ run starts with some variation of “if the Penguins hadn’t blown two gimmes.”

And I mean I think they do need to keep rubbing salt into that. Builds character, etc. etc.

Is the Q the first league to more or less ban fighting?

They announced that fighting now automatically results in expulsion from the game and instigation adds another automatic game suspension.

I guess it's not completely out as I can see some coaches working around this to goon it up in lost causes, but it's a big step.

The Q already had an automatic 1 game suspension for a 3rd fight during a season. That gets dropped to the 2nd.

Down here the AHL is usually the testing league. Haven’t heard anything, but I’m down with it.

I sure am glad that Vegas is going to win a Stanley Cup in their 6th season in existence. I’m sure glad the NHL made them suffer like expansion teams of the past.

One of the signs of a great league is to continuously tinker with the rules in order to showcase said greatness.

Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck isn't interested in signing an extension with the Winnipeg Jets, according to The Athletic.

Hellebuyck has one season remaining on his current contract at $6.16 million and is eligible to ink a new deal with Winnipeg as of July 1. He's widely considered to be a top trade candidate this summer.

Jets star center and restricted free agent Pierre-Luc Dubois also reportedly informed the franchise recently that he isn't willing to sign an extension and is seeking a move elsewhere.

Hellebuyck is coming off a dominant 2022-23 campaign, posting a .920 save percentage and 31.1 goals saved above average across a league-leading 64 starts. His efforts earned him a Vezina Trophy nomination for the third time in the last six seasons.

The Jets drafted Hellebuyck in the fifth round in 2012, and the 30-year-old has been the club's primary netminder since 2016-17. He owns a career 238-154-37 record along with a .916 save percentage and has helped guide Winnipeg to the postseason in five of the past six years.

The Vegas Golden Knights eliminated the Jets in the first round this spring. Between trade rumors surrounding its top players and a current roster size of 15 players, Winnipeg is expected to undergo significant changes before the 2023-24 season.
