    Fun fact, Ivan Provorov broke his contract with his actions. Idk how that isn’t being discussed more. Even if you hate the Queer community too (which it seems like so much of Twitter does), you have to agree that Provorov should be held accountable for breaking contract.

    Please remember that Duncan Keith said TODAY that he had no knowledge of the assault at the time, that Brad Aldrich "seemed like a nice guy", and that he never interacted with Brad... the literal video coach. Keith wore an A with the team at the time. Just... just awful to say.

    I’m told the #stlblues could be dancing around a trade with the Leafs. The two sides have been chatting for a bit. Parayko and/or Buchnevich the targets - though I would think that STL is dangling a few diff defenders.

    Here’s what I am hearing… #stlblues - Sanheim, Hayes will be Blues - Kyrou is not involved - One of Krug/Faulk will go - A late-First (I believe #25) will go to Philly - There’s cap dump involved - Parayko/Leddy not involved but are in other trade talks

    I am blown away by how far the hockey world is running with Hutson. It’s ridiculous He hasnt even played 10 games or scored his first pro goal. And we’re debating if he’s one of the best offensive-defensemen in the NHL? Fans are reverting to +/- to argue him. WTF are we doing??

    [CW: Sexual Assault] Let us remember that the Hawks situation not only severely harmed the players, but the team’s cover-up and promotion of the attacker led to the direct abuse of a child. It is on the NHL to bring justice to that young boy, in addition to all players.

    I love the OHL. Trades are like… “I will send you every draft pick we have, mortgage my house, and let you take my wife out for your 3rd line winger”

    Jacob Fowler has UNANIMOUSLY won the Hockey East Goalie of the Year award. That is now four consecutive seasons of broken records, MVP titles, championship rings, dominant hockey. The kid checks it all off. A superstar in net, a DAZZLING #GoHabsGo prospect

    There are MULTIPLE AGMs in the NHL whose only qualification is that their dad is the GM. But let’s criticize the qualifications of one of the sports greatest players, who has worked in high-level front office roles for years now.

    This… doesn’t make sense. Right? He played 17 league games. Michael Misa played over 60 and scored right near goal-per-game. I mean what’s this award for? Honoring internet hype?

    Anticipate a goalie swap happening in the Jakob Chychrun trade. Hearing from multiple sources that LA has had their eyes on Vejmelka for a while.
