It’s that time of year again…
This is an interesting development…
Via text, Darryl Sutter agreed with Dean Lombardi that he is "still undecided" about coaching LA. Sutter said he is watching to see…

I’ll believe it when I see it.
In real developments, the Minnesota Wild has selected Bruce Boudreau as their head coach.

How’s that working out for you, Brad?
The Panthers strangely shook some things up:
Panthers reassign Dale Tallon, shake up front office to spotlight analytics
And the Senators have also selected a new head coach.
A new head coach has been selected by the Ottawa Senators to much popular acclaim
I love hockey Twitter.
Oh, speaking of hockey Twitter:
Not blaming Matt Murray but at what point does Mike Sullivan give Marc-Andre Fleury a little taste of game action? One more?

After Murray let in 3 goals in Game 5 loss, Fleury may be in net for the Penguins' next game https://t.co/xYi6IDfzMQ pic.twitter.com/tf85sdjB3O

Should the @Penguins start Marc-Andre Fleury over Matt Murray in Game 6? #StanleyCup https://t.co/Sai42YiOU9 pic.twitter.com/5kkrrEOcuk

(Murray is 236/252 = .937 SV% in the playoffs)
Thank you, sports media. You never fail to disappoint me.
WOOOO!!!!!
I also just decided that I want Pasta and Vatrano on the same line next season (be it with Krejci or Spooner, it matters not) So that can be the Spaghetti and Meatball line
It should be Spooner as some Italians use a spoon to eat their pasta
Problem is if Spooner is the C there, its almost impossible to shelter that line enough.
For the sake of real hockey sure, that’s an issue. For the sake of making an italian dinner with hockey player names it’s gotta be Spooner
3-2 Cesko after two periods. Wow.
Sweden imploding after having a 2-0 lead
@Worst lead in hockey!@
VATRANO!!!!!

Hmmm…
…no
Well that ends that one. How does Jimmy Murphy keep finding work???
I have no clue. At least he isn’t on ESPN anymore
Something more on the “Low Event” side of things, please.
I’m even okay with high event, but not when the events are that tipped towards the “CA/60” stat line. And frankly, his CF/60 is pathetic relative to his deployment (thats a pretty stark O-zone bias there)
Alexei Emelin got 5 minutes and a game misconduct for tripping.
What did he do, boomerang his stick at an opponent to trip him? How do you get 5 & 10 for that
5 & 20
Sadly, I didn’t see it, as I’m still at work.
it was a knee:

Aiiieeeeee…here’s hoping that dude is ok.
No kidding. Zero regard for health on Emelin’s part. I wish he boomeranged his stick now lol
And as always, don’t read the comments. Yeesh.
Of course EotP commentors are level headed and can rationally look at a hit their player would makeI mean, it was that dirty Emelin hit on Lucic that backfired, causing Emelin to injure his own knee that inspired #BerkshireLogic
holy shit
I wish they’d banish him to Greenland.
YES!!!! Summer hockey starts soon! GO SMALL BATCH!
Morning, peeps!

WHY ARE THERE SPACES BETWEEN MY BULLET POINTS AHHGGGHGGHHHHH
But…but…Andrej Meszaros is The Butcher.
What! He is Andrej3000!
“mészáros” = “butcher” in Magyar (Hungarian). Andrej Meszaros is Slovak, but there are a lot of ethnic Hungarians in Slovakia, and Slovakia used to be part of the Kingdom of Hungary.
Ohhhhhhh
I knew a (Polish) guy at a previous job who was called “szewc” or “szewiec” or some such, meaning “shoemaker”. Which I never understood. Nice guy, very smart. I find this stuff amusing.
There is a LOT to unpack in this bullet point
I never told you about him? His name is Mango. I’m serious.
So many questions. Does he just show up? Does he call ahead? Okay, so maybe only two questions.
He calls ahead and he may or may not be related to us, but I think it’s like, my cousin’s cousin. He brings the burritos in his luggage from California.
He is from southie but lives in San Diego now. He and my cousin sort of do a couch exchange. He stays in my house for a few days, and by the time I notice I can smell men’s cologne or aftershave or whatever , he’s gone.
Are the burritos any good?
I haven’t had this year’s, but they’ve been decent in the past!
Is my life a sitcom? My life might be a sitcom.
Your life is a sitcom.
The story is vaguely familiar.
And of course his name is Mango. What else could a drifter who pays for lodging in burritos possibly be named?
It makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
omg so many hockeys over the weekend. I think I watched eight games between the WHC and the NHL playoffs. There are four more WHC games today – omg two of which are on right now.
On Saturday, I realized that if I stayed up to watch the Predleys vs Sharks, the first WHC game on Sunday would start four hours after NSH vs SJS was over. So I just watched the first period and went to bed. Without using an alarm clock, my body said “Hockey time!” and woke me up exactly for the start of Magyarország vs. Canada.
Watching Confoederatio Helvetica vs. Norge, I thought I was listening to the Norwegian broadcast team until I realized that they were speaking in German. Swiss German, to be precise. Swiss German is WEIRD. It sounds like Norwegian with Italian inflections.
Oooo…in a few hours it’s Laine vs. Matthews!
I always set mental alarms and they always work, sometimes too well (i get up way early).
Right now…
Rossija 2 Latvija 0 in the second period. Goals from Panarin and Dadonov.
Canada 3 Bielarus 0 in the second period. Goals from Brassard, Perry, and O’Reilly (O’Rielly?).
Yikes…Canada with the murderdeathkill…5-0 in the 2nd. Duchene and Hall scored. IW commented over the weekend that he was impressed by how much Canada is spreading out the goals. They’re doing the same today.
7-0 Canada in the 3rd…
8-0 Canada is your final.
4-0 Rossija over Latvija.
My body doesn’t even wake up with an alarm clock!
Good morning, friends!
Tomorrow’s the big day. Hopefully things will go well and I’ll join Dr. Handgrenaid as Dr. Medievalist.
You got this!!!!
Yay!
You’ve got this.
Best of luck. I’m sure you’ll kill it.
Buena suerte!
Good luck!
Kick some ass, brother. Tomorrow is your hour.
Or, his twenty four hours, even.

Bonne chance!!!!
Not like you guys care that much, but I love my new apartment. My Bluetooth speakers, dual screen and bass amp set ups are much more enjoyable than I thought.
We do care, and I’m glad you love it!
I bet it’s very exciting to have your own place! We talk far too much hockey on the morning.
I can talk about learning the theme to Barney Miller on bass.
Well, that is very interesting. I could talk about my stingray minions.
I would love that!
