What else is new?Gentzel has an extremely punchable face.
Pens could be tough in the playoffs.
Pens have been great at home and mediocre on the road this season.
If Caps beat the Isles in regulation on Tuesday then I'd say it's pretty much Caps vs Pens for the division title.
The Taylor Hall Bruins might miss the playoffs yet.
But it would be damned hilarious.Nah. They have 4 games against Devils and Buffalo. 2 games in hand over Rangers. Even if Rangers win all 7 remaining games for 70 points, Bruins only need 11 of 18 points for 71.
Obviously it's possible but the odds are way way against them. Moneypuck gives Rangers 3.7% chance.
Wasn't the team salary cap hinging on the next TV deal for the NHL?NBC pulls out of bidding for NHL TV rights.

Wasn't the team salary cap hinging on the next TV deal for the NHL?
Bettman and the league said the salary cap won't be latched back onto NHL revenue for at least a few more years now - which means a flat cap for the next few years. The owners are trying to claw their money back that they sank this year with depressed revenue while paying full salaries. So they will get at least the first 2 years of these new TV deals to make them fat, rich, and happy again.
Salary cap is not going to be strictly linked to revenue because of players and escrow. Players have no interest in shelling out 50-60% in escrow. That's not temporary either. That's money that they will never see again, considering revenue projections.
I think the league would be just giddy to continue playing under a strict revenue split controlled by escrow.
You're kidding right? They're all gonna move over to ABC.I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm just glad I'm not going to have to hear that sorry ass NBC crew commentating games anymore.
Really? Tell me they left Edzo's hating ass out please.You're kidding right? They're all gonna move over to ABC.
I would bet the whole crew moves. Sorry.Really? Tell me they left Edzo's hating ass out please.
You're kidding right? They're all gonna move over to ABC.
Wonder what that means for NBCSW. As the home-town network, will they keep the rights, or are all NBC affiliates washing their hands of it (as has been rumored...)?NBC pulls out of bidding for NHL TV rights.

AJ Mleczko has no business commentating either. Have no idea how she does in the studio but definitely wasn't a good experience listening to her trying to sound like color analyst. I'm okay with Forslund, Pierre and Albert moving over to ESPN but the rest is boring trash.
