She's way better than McGuire. She knows her stuff and doesn't feel the need to show you how smart she is like Pierre does.
Even though she jumps in just as often (if not more), I think this is exactly why she comes off so well.
I thought he said peaches and fruit and thought hmm, that's redundant. Backed it up...Yeah pizza. I'd puke.
SJ navigated a too many men and delay of game, plus a couple posts, but Karlsson with an absolute bullet to take it.
Columbus gave up a 1st and 2nd so the Knights would take him instead of some other guys, it appears they may have miscalculated. But also you can thank the massive expansion draft changes.

As Seattle gears up over the next two years, the feeling I’ve heard from most hockey people is that people will just offer their protected list for the next expansion draft and be done with it, no side deals for extra protection/assurance of picking a certain player.
Eh, I liked the added element of strategy that added. It isn't VGK's (or Seattle's) fault that Florida and Columbus misevaluated their own talent so grossly.
For sure, but the sentiment conveyed by Friedman, Kypreos, et. al., is that GMs felt like they were burned in the process, so none of that for Seattle. ‘Course, all it takes is one GM to do something stupid unilaterally (looking your way, Peter), and that’ll go out the window.
I read a pretty good article that covers all the poor decisions but the title pretty well surmises the situation.

I have a feeling that the player pool available to Seattle is actually going to be better than the one available to Vegas, considering that they are paying $650 million to join the league as compared to the $500 million Vegas paid. Whether or not Seattle's GM does as good a job building the team as McPhee did is another story.
Tie game, 5 1/2 left, Jets PP, and the refs whistle play dead for an injured Pred...while the Jets have the puck.
And another goalie equipment problem. This time it’s the strap that was loose on the mask.
And the Preds are falling apart. Where were these officials last night?

And that one should have been blown dead for Rinne's helmet. Crazy how bad officiating is right now.
Super-tight game so far, 2-0 Nashville after 2.
They’ve really done some work on Laine. He’s been invisible all series.

Sharks mounting a pretty serious 3rd period comeback after the goalie change, from 4-0 to 4-3, 4 minutes left
This is as insane of a sports story in recent memory. Think of the performances of expansion teams in other sports then look at what Vegas is doing. I'm rooting for them now.
They're the anti-Browns. A team that had no expectations on the horizon is now 4 wins from the Stanley Cup Final.
Looks like Jets-Preds is going 7. Winnipeg has no clue how to beat Nashville’s trap every other game.
No team has been able to win back-to-back games in this series - Jets hoping that trend continues on Thursday....
I like both the Preds and Jets, but I admit I am pulling for the Jets. Their home crowds are crazy, and they are fun to watch. Either of these teams should beat Vegas, but who knows whether that will happen. Have to think the winner of this series and Tampa are the favorites to win it all.
Did Pierre just say Mark Scheifele is the best known player in the league thats not really known??
