happy retirement to Thomas Greissdid not expect Jarry to sign with the Pens long term - he was not good the few times I saw him play this year

my understanding is that they had limited options and considered him the least-bad one. certainly the fans aren’t thrilled about it

Biz is a major league chode, but this was one helluva scoop by him. CBJ is a super young team, Babs thought he could pull his old stunts with them, and instantly lost their trust. The team will be better off without him, and I don't think he'll ever coach in the NHL again. He's a bully.

Absolute fucking garbage organization. In a just world they'd have their 2010 Cup vacated, Bedard removed from the team and sent to Anaheim and lost their right to playoffs and Top 10 draft picks for the next decade. Hell, even better if the organization was dissolved entirely, right down to their racist ass logo, but I know that's not going to happen.

Glad the Panthers won. I've only seen one hockey game in my life and it was Panthers vs Calgary in Miami in the Panthers' debut season. John Vanbiesbrouck was goaltender. I also learned to ice skate in the facility where the team practiced. So I guess have a soft spot.
Sorry that others here are disappointed. But whoever heard of the Stanley Cup going to a Canadian team anyway.
