Haven't been following hockey, haven't had time. Cricket has started up here and I watch a lot of NFL and updates. Lots of fights this time of year as well, just crazy busy for sport.

I actually really like John Scott man. He was a great player for the Sharks for what he did. He had 3 goals and an assist in 34 games which was pretty good for an enforcer. Kind of sucked when we let him go, now he's been buried all the way in the AHL I wish we'd get him back. This article was a good read as well, www.theplayerstribune.com/a-guy-like-me/

Hey Mr. Twister, did you see Dylan Larkin at the All-Star game? Dude is 19 years old and he just smashed a 20 year old speed record at the All Star game, it wasn't even a PB as he slipped. Dude is INSANE, should be racing in the Olympics but I know the NHL wouldn't allow that.

Yeah, it's hard to look at the year he's having and think he was drafted as low as 15th in 2014. Dude we drafted 16th isn't in the NHL yet.

Was talking to a guy earlier who said he expects him to become the next captain of the Red Wings. I can see it. He's local, he's talented, he looks good in advertising, he's got a really clean image. Makes sense to me.

I still think that Holmgren's stupidity and the need for the Flyers to clear up their cap fuckery is the reason Gostisbehere isn't gonna win the Calder this year.
I really think he should. He's on pace for 49 poitns in 64 games as a rookie D-man. Had he played the whole season in the NHL, that would translate to a 60-point campaign. Fucking Mark Stone was second in Calder voting last season as a forward and only had managed four more points. Nathan MacKinnon won the Calder with 63.

Welp, NHL regular season ended today, apart from the two make-up games from the snowstorm earlier in the year.
ss is tradition, the Jackets were garbage and yet I still think that they're gonna do it next year
