NHL has a problem whenever a team or teams dominate that are usually ratings anathema.
Folks want to see what's special but they already arranged the schedule so you see the Bruins, Rangers, Flyers, Blackhawks, and Capitals over and over again. And thus the cycle repeats itself.

Worse, they’re *still* playing up Rangers vs. Bruins as an actual rivalry when it hasn’t been in decades. They know they’re two teams they want to feature on national broadcasts, so they’re trying to pretend there’s something there that just isn’t, because otherwise you have to showcase teams like the Islanders or Canadiens, and that’s just not happening.

The fact that they put Rangers/Bruins on ABC, the big boy network, but then buried Blues/Hawks on ESPN+ is just trash.

San Jose Sharks have placed on waivers and if no one claims him, will send Kane down to the AHL San Jose Barracudas.
Of course, Evander Kane and his agent want to be traded.

Holy hell, Dougie Hamilton and Andreas Johnsson had season-best game scores last night...like, seriously, Johnsson had the best game score of any player in the league this year, and Hamilton at 1G, 1A, and 10 shots on goal, along with tilting shots 18-4 in favor of the Devils during his ice time.
I didn't realize just how bad the Flyers are 5-on-5. They've got some injuries right now, no doubt about it, but their even strength numbers over the entire season are just awful. Goaltending really is the only thing propping them up; I can't make that criticism about the Rangers since Panarin and Fox are driving forces for them, too, but it certainly seems to apply to Philly this year.

Marc Bergevin out as GM in Montreal. Jeff Gorton hired as VP of Hockey Operations and he said he will hire a French GM. Also out is the dumbass head scout who apparently insisted to draft Logan Mailloux which lead to that PR mess.
Bergevin leaving at the end of the year for LA has been one of the worst kept secrets in a long time.

And he is heading to the San Jose Barracudas There’s absolutely no reason to have this goof on your roster. The only reason he is still on the roster is money and this offseason, we are already taking dead cap hit with getting rid of Martin Jones so we can't do the same with him this season. Trust me, unless someone wants him, he is going to rot in the AHL for now.

Don't really care...after the whole "reason why he is suspended", he's dead to me.

For it’s worth, it’s apparently doctored footage from a photo shoot of kind and the courts have granted sole custody of their child to Evander.

They got nowhere else to go, and it sounds like the Tempe arena deal is unlikely to happen due to opposition from the nearby airport.
