The new kid on the block. Congrats Macklin! Throwback to my favorite video

Remember, Conn Smythe voters. This is how the Stanley Cup Playoffs literally began (with me and @AJMleczko on the call). First game. Jordan Staal. His team would go on to win 8 in a row. And are currently 15-3 in the playoffs. It started with this fight.

Honored to help host @equipedefrance at Bentley Arena!!

Always at least one.

I found this interesting: Elliotte Friedman mentions that it’s a “different world” with players forcing their way to different places. He even talks about younger players who aren’t breaking through requesting trades. This is only going to happen more because it’s so common at younger levels. Not playing enough in college? Transfer. Not playing enough in juniors? Try a new team or league. Not playing enough in prep or high school? Switch schools. Not playing enough for your 14U-18U club team? Find another. Players now grow up feeling empowered to do what’s best for them. It’s not like that just ends when they get to the NHL.

In regards to the changes of the landscape at the college and junior levels, I asked Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly if the NHL has considered changing the draft age to 19 like the other major sports leagues. @DailyFaceoff

The @Canes step onto the ice to Rock You Like A Hurricane. It’s loud in Raleigh.

As Cole Smith plays in the Stanley Cup Final tonight, here's a reminder that he got cut from the USHL after high school and had one scholarship offer out of the MJHL - a 20% deal to North Dakota. grandforksherald.com/sports/…

RT @JLazzy23: Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly just said the NHL is not in favor of the new rule changes to the NCAA and they have let the NCA…

Home regionals seem cool.

Sounds like Jack Pridham will land with the University of Denver.

Congratulations to all of those who work on TNT Sports’ NHL coverage, as their season concluded last night. It’s now their fifth season in the books and I know their work is greatly appreciated by many hockey fans. We will see them again in October!
