My friend is at a bar in Seattle where (among other Kraken players there) Brandon Tanev is currently behind the bar pouring beers for Washington fans watching the CFP
Every devils fan on my timeline is talking about how yesterday was one of their most special moments of hockey fandom. These events are for the fanbases hosting them, not randos watching at home. Please fuck all the way off with takes like this
The hawks literally tore down their franchise and intentionally tried to lose in the wake of covering up a sexual assault scandal involving their own player
And they get rewarded for it
I'm gonna throw up
Things we love to see: Fabian zetterlund showing up to a scrimmage hosted by the sharks for a local LGBTQ+ team ahead of their pride night (also shoutout to the sharks for another creative way to get players wearing pride jerseys)
Do you ever think about how the devils just waived this guy and lost him for nothing and then look at the current state of their goaltending and then think even more about that, because I do often
A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit west of Manhattan and has been felt throughout New York.
My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day.
“But the attendance!” Nearly every game is sold out
“But it’s a small market!” We’re 6th in league revenue
“But it’s New Jersey!” We don’t like you either
Bettman had no further update on the 2018 Canadian world junior team and the league’s investigation. Doesn’t sound like a league announcement on that is imminent yet.
I was gonna get mad about this caption and say "hey what the hell that's our thing" and then I realized it did work well in causing the rangers to blow a series last time around, so I'm actually all for it
Players from Hockey Canada's 2018 World Junior team have appealed a ruling from an independent adjudicative panel that was launched to investigate and determine national team sanctions.
The ruling was made, but with appeal, Hockey Canada says details can't be shared now.
Lindy ruff has made plenty of head scratching decisions over the years, but i don’t think I’ve ever been truly *mad* at him up until right now. An embarrassing coaching decision followed by an even more embarrassing response to being (rightfully) questioned about it. Good lord
London Police on report that 5 former 2018 WJC team members told to surrender on charges of sexual assault:
"We are unable to provide an update at this time. When there is further information to share regarding this investigation, we will be in contact with media outlets."
The last request. Devils fans will be so happy with this, haha. Michael McLeod has been freaking awesome this season! If the Devils will play in playoffs with 100% healthy Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier & Michael McLeod as their first three centers, they're gonna be so good.

@jprutherford
"Putting a focus on the positive things they're doing" by choosing not to do the most visible thing they could do as a team to support pride, cool cool make it make sense
Henrique and Monahan are centers
Toffoli is a winger
There are a lot of wingers available and very few centers
GMs value centers more than wingers
Therefore, supply and demand means the price for centers is a lot higher, even if they're lesser players
Hope this helps!
Just got home from an awesome evening of placing bets on
@FDSportsbook
with my good buddy Lindy Ruff. So much fun Lindy, so glad we could both hang out and place our bets together. It was super cool getting to see you place your wagers on NHL games from your phone!
Whichever players are involved (devils or not), I hope they’re brought to justice as much as the law allows and that the victim gets at least some modicum of peace from that
Chris Tierney just got either a puck or a stick right into the mouth. He's hurting and bleeding and being tended to by a trainer.
It got pretty quiet and then Brendan Smith shouted "That's it Tierns! You're a warrior!"

also maybe look in the mirror when you ask why he didn’t sign in nj. there’s something to be said for which fan bases players want to or don’t want to play for and i doubt he’d want to play for fans that would actively root for him to suffer if he wasn’t what they wanted
