The Oilers look complacent and have given the puck away about 20 times tonight.

Skinner has been the difference.

Shots 21-11 CBJ with 6 left in the 2nd.

^yup... although some of the stuff I am reading says he was 'not present', but could be still culpable.

Makar cooperated pretty early with the investigation and I think the story was he wasn't at the after-party where the assault took place.

Utah Jazz ownership has officially asked the NHL to begin the expansion process to bring a team to Salt Lake City. Wouldn't be shocked to see Atlanta and Houston make their intentions publicly official soon as well.

While I'm no fan of Bettman (not by a long shot), he's just doing what the BOG wants. If they wanted a team in Quebec, Bettman would be on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

Is there any evidence Bettman or the BoG don't actually want another Canadian team? Who have they said no to that has come forward with actual serious offers for expansion? I mean, when you look at the fact the NHL is only in 25 US cities, compared to other major sports leagues, it does make sense that they are focused on US cities.

It's billionaire dollar sports league with associated billionaire owners. It's all about valuation like having a Starbucks in a lease increases a properties' valuation over a local independent coffee house. Quebec should have a team. The Golden Horseshoe should have 3. That's not how the business of valuations work. Among other things, a record expansion fee supersede which fanbase is most deserving. There's no one in Quebec that will put up my esitmated 3/4 of a billion dollars

Bettman just does the board's bidding. He's a face and need a face for a villain.

PKP/Quebec City. The Province built an arena to roll out the red carpet.

Make it FIFTEEN BABY!

Pickard didn't have a lot of hard saves, but still confident and a shutout!

Hyman with his 29th (on pace for 55).

Welp, when they get out of jail, I'm sure Bergevin will sign them, wherever he might be by then.
