Nashville sent Steve Moses, Juuse Saros, and Colt Sissons to Milwaukee, and Cody Bass has supposedly been placed on waivers.

So they're pretty much one cut away from having their day one team.

Oil send Nurse down, he's still not ready to play? Seemed like he had made decent progress
Some tough choices to make on defense. There might not be great depth, but there's a lot of depth. Nurse could easily get a shot when somebody starts to stink.

Lots of guessing going on for the Oilers first 3 lines. Looks like Draisaitl will make the team and play wing, maybe even with McDavid.

And how can I leave out a classic Corey Perry Bait 'n Switch?

And of course, not content with replacing a piece of plexiglass with plywood, even more bullshit from the Staples Center last night:
Even if I didn't like the Ducks before, I'd start loving them after seeing this. They're like a superhero bringing justice to the shitiest places on earth, in this case the Staples Center. It's like going on a round trip down to hell just to punch satan in the fucking balls. It's beautiful.

I just hope McLellan picks the lines and let them stick together for awhile. The Oilers lines have been jerked around so much in previous years. A little stability would be nice.

I was disappointed to see McTavish at the draft. If you're going to fire him, get him out of the organization completely. He should have been physically removed from the building and paraded through the streets so that the fans could throw vegetables and feces at him.
I mean, c'mon! Is that too much to ask for?

Every time I see Crosby's concussion issues brought up, I'm always reminded it was a scrub like Steckel that did that to him.

On top of that, wasn't it also poorly treated before finding out that he might've had some neck issues as well?

He just attacks from out of nowhere with the intensity of a bird protecting her eggs. I can't get enough.

Setting a tone for the season, hopefully. I don't even care if we lose those games, as long as we kick the shit out them and leave them weeping bloody tears.

I'm sure the layout will be adjusted over time, right? They can't possibly leave it like this for the next, what, 15 years?

It is a nice arena, even if it's not suited to hockey. It's worth fixing.
I'm not sure what you can really do to fix it. The only option I can think of to deal with it is to completely redesign the interior at both ends of the arena and alter the angles of the seating in order to shift the ice over to center it under the scoreboard. But that's, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars and requires shutting down the building for months at a time, for an arena that you only just opened a couple of years ago.

Bruins appear in violation of CBA mandating at least eight defined "veterans" dress for all exhibition games. B's have seven.
C'mon, Bruins.

Also, I had no idea that was actually a rule.
15.4 Exhibition Games.

(c) A Club shall be permitted to dress a minimum of eight (8) veterans for any Exhibition Game. For purposes of this Section 15.4(c), a veteran shall constitute either:

(1) a forward or defenseman who played in thirty (30) NHL Games during the previous season,

(2) a goaltender who either dressed in fifty (50) or more NHL Games or played in thirty (30) or more NHL Games in the previous season,

(3) a first round draft choice from the most recent year's Entry Draft, or

(4) any Player who has played one-hundred (100) or more career NHL Games.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
So Larkin on top line two nights ago, on top line again tonight?

This is only going to hurt even worse when Holland forces him down into the minors.

hardly the most pressing issue with this team right now. some time in the AHL on the top line could do him some good.

So before I drop the bill for a new season of Hockey Streams, did anything ever come of that GameCenter lawsuit that was filed? I thought they were going to be forced to offer single team streaming options or something at a steeply discounted price?

New this season, the Nashville Predators are rolling out “Golden Saturdays,” at all 14 of their Saturday home games during the 2015-16 campaign.

The biggest of all “Golden Saturday” special events will be seen as the Nashville Predators skate onto the ice for warm-ups. The players will wear GOLD helmets, designed especially with these Saturday night games in mind

If he needs the time, I'm fine with it. If he's good enough to be top-6 on this team (and all accounts this preseason and in camp are that he absolutely is good enough), he should be on the team.

I forgot which European league does it (or is there more than one?), but each team's leading scorer wears a gold helmet. Kind of neat, actually.

I don't think the Perds have ever done yellow/gold helmets before. I guess it's just too overwhelming when you match it up with their home jersey.

Swiss league does it.

A Swedish league I believe? We have that one guy that posts here from there that has spoken about it before.

I agree about all the gold being too much for this Preds gear with the helmet,

based on this preaseason, he's not head and shoulders above richards, which is what he would need to be to take a top 6 center role. his faceoffs also look weak.

he's got work to do. this guy is gonna be good, but wings fans are going crazy with the hype.

Bordeleau and Cliche were sent to San Antonio, yessss. Now we just need to get rid of McLeod. Pickard getting sent down was bullshit, he wasn't given a proper chance with the defense he played behind. Berra is garbage. Also, it's gross we have any affiliation to something in Texas. Should have stayed with Lake Erie.
