Blow Standard

The Atlantic division is so tight right now. Really hoping Bobrovsky keeps up his game and the Panthers can widen the margin a little. They’re not the most popular team in the league, but those kids are way too talented to not make the playoffs so often.

Yah this one is absolutely baffling to me. 2 seasons between a Jack Adams and a firing? Something don't smell right.
It really bothers me too especially because I love the Vegas team and their fast style. With that said Pete Deboer is not some hack, he got San Jose to the finals and they would have stayed playoff contenders had SJ Management not stupidly wasted their salary cap on some overrated players (E. Karlsson & E. Kane).

This is just my dumb speculation (so don't even call it a rumor) but I'm wondering if maybe Seattle gave Gallant the message that they want him as the coach next season and the Vegas GM didn't want to wait to find their new coach.

Fans would be giving them shit if they didn't try to go after guys like Karlsson and Kane, so it's a no-win situation where you just have to hope for a lucky run to the finals.

That's an interesting theory, we'll just have to wait and see.

The funniest part about the DeBoer firing\hiring is the mini-feud he and Gallant had engaged in as coaches of their now most recent former teams. Guess DeBoer just needs to take over a job held by John Torterella to complete his reemployment coaching feud enemies list last laugh paybacks and he'll be able to rest easy at night despite both finals losses.

It's tough to reliably pick a western division winner until the trade deadline settles and everyone in there reconfigures their roster to respond to Taylor Hall in the top six of Arizona's forwards. Calgary, Vegas and Arizona still have a game against the current version of the Dead Wings left so already that helps them against Edmonton and Vancouver. Especially when you consider the Oilers split their series with Detroit and Vancouver is in first place after getting four points out of four in the standings facing the Wings which represents their current lead over the other four teams.

It seems that Jay Bouwmeester is doing well after collapsing on the bench on Tuesday.

HA! That assclown, Jeremy Roenick has been "suspended indefinitely" at NBC for making crass remarks about a coworker. However you feel about the reasons, that guy was annoying as fuck, and I hope it's permanent. I cannot STAND that guy.
