that Vanek deal is awesomesauce for me. always great when you get an acquisition like that for pretty much sweet f*** all. man, someone (probably a few someones) on Long Island should be fired for that deal. it's like, Tavares goes down for the year and they just say "f*** it". I think all teams that are in playoff hunt or playoff chasing with enough room on the salary cap should kick themselves for letting that deal happen. But f***ing Buffalo is almost guaranteed to get two top five picks in this draft. Possibly two top three this year (LOL Edmonton)

I don't think you'll be so happy once he bolts come July 1st. he probably will, but we gave away nothing of great import to get him, and if he does help us win a cup, yay us. and even if he doesn't, we didn't mortgage the team's future to get him like the Rangers did with St. Louis.

This is true. Also, I'm one to talk with Marian Gaborik on the Kings now. I feel bad for saying what I did now.

Devils are given the 30th pick in this year's draft so they don't have to be without one About freaking time. Bettman must've gotten that fish flecked with cement and wrapped in newspaper fresh this morning. Now we just need to win the Cup to REALLY justify having #30. Seriously, the whole thing was a sham; they punished the Devils, but none of the other teams that were doing the same exact thing, even though neither the Devils nor any of the other clubs were actually breaking the CBA. The whole "spirit of the CBA" thing was garbage from the get-go, and at least they've made up for it a little bit now. Also the fine is being reduced from $3 million to $1.5 million. Glad the NHL reversed course on this a bit. The #30 pick is better than no first round pick at all.

Avs win in OT over the Red Wings. The fire sure is gone from that rivalry. It used to be the best in sports.
This season marks the fastest the Avs have earned 40 wins.

Nathan McKinnon also broke a Gretzky record tonight. www.sbnation.com/nhl/2014/3/6/5480270/nathan-mackinnon-wayne-gretzky-recordKid's a straight baller so I'm proud of him. I missed the end of the game tonight, but I'm glad they came back to win it. I don't know if they can make a deep playoff run, but this is the best I've seen the Avs for a while (keep in mind I'm still pretty new to hockey; a few years in is all).

Dammit Edmonton keeps tanking in the wrong years just like this year

That MacKinnon kid is something else. You know, it starting to look like the Avs are starting to brew a Sakic-Forsberg combo 2.0 with Mac and Duchene down the middle. Let's also not forget that you guys have Paul Stastny and Ryan O'Reilley that can play center too. I'm really starting to like what the Avs are made of. If you guys get paired with the Blues or Blackhawks in the first round, I hope that you guys can knock them out.

Seriously I can't be the only one who thought the avalanche was going to suck this year and everything they made was a mistake in the off season. Glad I'm wrong. But their management structure is f***ing confusing

I don't know if they can make a deep playoff run, but this is the best I've seen the Avs for a while (keep in mind I'm still pretty new to hockey; a few years in is all). My first year as a hockey fan (I liked it before, but put no effort in) was the year the Avs became a team. The moment I became a fan of hockey was the Roy trade. That was how I became an Avs fan. I still get shit for not being a Blackhawks fan out here, but most of there fans no were not around for the 90's. I tried, I tried so hard, but the management hated the fans and players back then. I do like the hawks and love the players(my town has their affiliate), but they aren't my team. 90's in to early 2000's Avs and Wings was some of the best hockey ever. You missed out(try and track down some old games). Luckily, you now have one of the most exciting teams going to root for. This team has so many weapons. While I don't think they will do gangbusters in the playoffs, they could be really dangerous. They can play 4 lines with very skilled centers and fast wingers, and there is no single line of played to focus on. For a team with shallow defense they could be hell.

A historic 3-0 victory for Lundqvist and the Rangers. First off, it's win #300, and the next 2 victories will tie and break the all-time Rangers win record currently held by Mike Richter. Second, the shutout is #49 which ties him for most career shutouts by a Ranger with Eddie Giacomin.
Also, first time since the 70-71 season that the Rangers shutout the Wings twice.

Though it's going to look all weird, at least Coach's Corner is being left untouched.
