    I’m guessing you didn’t buy a (??)McDermid(??) jersey

    Now it sits next to the Ryan O’Reilly Wild jersey in my closet….

    really cool youtube video on some rarely called NHL “equipment violation” penalties…

    The Colton Parayko call is very interesting in that Terasenko used his stick that has an NHL exemption only for Parayko to use because he’s 6’6″ tall and is allowed a longer stick than the league allows…crazy!

    Faber needs to be mindful of the visor level rule…

    The ref that made the call against Tarasenko deserves a throat punch. He was probably waiting for someone to pickup Parayko or Chara’s stick for years so he could make some ticky tacky call to show the world how smart he is and make the game about him instead of the players on the ice. Just dumb

    Of course the next worthless penalty call is from Tim Peel. Pro sports refs with giant egos are the worst

    you’re probably not wrong, still interesting that its a penalty, I wonder if the thinking is what if Parayko gets another one of his sticks from the bench but Terasenko couldn’t and 2 Parayko length sticks were in play at the same time? Otherwise the argument against it being a penalty could be that it would be in use anyways if he didn’t drop it… strange rule…

    Faber’s eye shield always cracks me up…

    The Athletic surveyed NHL Agents on a wide variety of subjects in a new story released today and one question was “who’s the best front office to deal with”

    The Wild and Lightning tied for the most mentions… Agents praised GMBG’s fairness and ease to talk to…

    If you have an Athletic subscription its a good read through…

    GMBG makes a stunning deadline acquisition early and trades for Tyler Madden from the Kings!!

    Where will you be sitting in St Paul for the parade route?
