Nice to see us scoring MORE than our xG for once. Feels like all of last year we scored less.

Just remember that opening night puck drop isn't until 7:30 🫠 I hate it

Glad to hear this! He's been fun to watch in the prospects camp and during the pre season, I'm interested to see how he does in Chicago!
Just saw Ivan Ryabkin at Invisalign Arena. Looks to be walking fine, so doesn't seem like any lingering issues there from last night's departure.

Caught up with Ehlers’ Switzerland-based agent (and teammate of Rod Brind’Amour with Kloten during the 2004-05 lockout) after this initially posted and he had some interesting insights on the process that are in there now.

I was chatting with Ehlers yesterday and told him this was my favorite moment of last year’s postseason and that I couldn’t believe he made that pass with so little time left.
He smiled and said, “Did you see my shot right before? No way I was going to shoot it again.” 😂

@mrworkrate.com I liked your article today, going to take credit for inspiring it 🤣 I also found this interesting in an article on the athletic today, how is this not a CBA violation, since it said the skate was lead by the director of development for the Canadiens??

While I think it was the right time to move on from Burns, I appreciate what he brought to the team the last 3 years. I will always remember and be thankful for the time he took for my kids, tossing them multiple pucks and stopping to sign autographs. They loved talking to him. Good luck!
We have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Brent Burns.

At this point, if he wants to come here at a reasonable amount, cool. But don't overpay. If he doesn't, I'm also ok with it because I want roster space for Blake/Nadeau to have room to grow, and maybe you pick up someone during the season.
