I would like to see one postseason with the pitch clock - ideally without changes - to make a judgment. As a hockey fan, I despise the NHL’s having two different standards of rules enforcement for regular season and playoffs. I don’t want any baseball league to go the same path

A $94M football contract with $66M guaranteed is why I can’t watch sports anymore. I’ll watch the NHL playoffs sometimes, but this is ridiculous. Nobody is worth this money. Wanna bet if you were to audit these funds you’d find mad laundering. That’s why they have these… https://t.co/jZQsLrOJb7

Kyle Dubas has changed a good portion of the Penguins lineup in his five weeks with the organization, but is it enough to get this team back to the playoffs? #LetsGoPens https://t.co/lyoyZlHFea

Yea wait didn’t Daly and the NHL say we’d hear something soon? And that was like back in may during the playoffs lmfao. Where the hell is that announcement about possible criminals playing NHL playoff games? https://t.co/rDw9i48oqe

Dubas took over the oldest team in the NHL that missed the playoffs last year with a bottom prospect pool, his legacy is TOAST https://t.co/9cE0oyY8q2

Questions I have before camp starts. 1) Are they done (minus the RFAs)? 2) What is the move if Batherson gets suspended in the WJC 2018 scandal? 3) Can Chabot, Chychrun and Korpisalo stay mostly healthy? 4) Is there a F prospect in Belleville with an NHL future? 5) Playoffs?

No professional sports today. If I had my way I’d won’t start the #NBA season until January 1st, end the #NHL playoffs by Memorial Day and ensure #MLB playoffs were done by Halloween. This would provide an even distribution.

Has anyone else ever gotten fired on the GM Mode on NHL 23? The Coyotes just fired me after a crappy season, I made some big moves during the Deadline that turned them around. If I would’ve gotten more time I had plans on taking them to playoffs.
