Still blown away by this one. Anaheim stepped up for Carlson, one of the best players in Capitals history, who is having a terrific season.
He was asleep when trade occurred. Earlier in week, Capitals verbally agreed to Nic Dowd deal with Vegas late the night before. Trade call was delayed until next day, but news got out beforehand.
Caps were upset about that; they didn't want Carlson to find out that way. They decided on the opposite approach this time...informing Carlson sometime Friday overnight (EDIT: not sure about exact time). We will see what he says today, everyone still recovering from the shock.

Know it's not the most pressing thing among followers...but wanted to highlight:
The Paralympics begin today. I always try to watch as much as I can. Good luck to all the athletes.

PARALYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY DAY Good morning sports fans across Canada and around the world. The waiting is finally over. The Winter Paralympics have arrived Here in Cortina the excitement is palpable. Team Canada 🇨🇦 is ready. I’m ready. I know you are too. Here’s your preview

@slavinisourgoat Yes you are! Big questions surrounding Thomas right now. Down year with injury that needed surgery. May not help this year. Nadeau and Nikishin could become core players for the Canes!
English
Am I crazy if I’d rather include Nikishin in a trade for Thomas than Nadeau

@ZachCaniac Every time I think Staal is done he picks his game up again. He has had a great year.
English
The Canes contention window is wide open, but Slavin, Staal and Martinook won't be around forever. Staal and Marty are quickly on the decline and Slavin only has a few more Elite years left. All are major parts of the foundation of this team. Can't waste these years

Pierre LeBrun: Re Elias Pettersson: Carolina and Vancouver have talked over the last two years about him; the Hurricanes, would they be willing to take him and then would Kotkaniemi go the other way...that's almost like a retaining salary mechanism - Athletic Hockey Show (3/2)

I speak for all #CarolinaCulture fans (ok I really don't) but he's more than welcome here!

A Canadian reporter, who most likely has pronouns in her bio, demands that Brady Tkachuck apologize for laughing with President Trump after Team USA won the Gold Medal. These people are such pathetic losers!
English
@AvsCanesFan Yes! Scoring by committee! We just saw USA win as a team. Not individuals.

The #CarolinaCulture Canes are 3rd in the NHL with 80 points in 58GP.
However, all of their top scorers are ranked outside of the top 25.
Aho - 58P (28th)
Svech - 51P (47th)
Jarvy - 45P (76th)
Ehlers - 44P (80th)
Is that enough firepower to lead the Canes to the SCF?

@Danny__healey You don’t think this would be the same in Canada if they won???
English
So what do the Canadian teammates on both teams think when they do this? Like happy for their teammates or pissed??

@wyjoenthusiast AM34 to any American teams where so he can be appreciated properly!!!
Now you know why so many players including Canadian players have a 7 team no trade clause. We all what 7 teams they are!!!!
English
and yet if you were able to do your job and help your team win a cup you wouldn’t even be invited because you play in canada you dumb fuck

Matthews on visiting the white house "The team that wins the Cup every year accepts the invitation. We believe it's a great honour, no matter who is in office.. It's something that you do because we’re proud Americans”

Amazing how different things look when you play the entire clip. McDavid made a joke and then gave a good answer. @spittinchiclets should show full clip next time.

@robbystarbuck Woman already have voting rights. So do men. Been that way for years!
English
The men and women’s team should do this and make it pay per view. They’d all be filthy rich by the end of the game and biological reality would hit a lot of TikTok libs like a freight train. Everyone wins!
English
@washghost1 Um. They both have voter rights in elections. Been that way for years.
English
The women’s team would get absolutely destroyed

@Steve_Dangle AM34 to any American teams where so he can be appreciated. Canada not getting the gold has really shown what type of people they are. So sad!!!

What you'll never understand could fill a few books, Matt.

Ahead of their first meeting since winning the gold medal with Team USA, Matthew Tkachuk says he still doesn’t understand how Auston Matthews doesn’t get the credit he deserves for the player he is. He also says Matthews was just as good of a captain on the ice as he was off the ice. “He was so incredible for our team, as a captain, as a leader, everything on and off the ice. What he did for our team was just so incredible. He still doesn’t get credit for the player he is, and I’ll never understand.” 🎥: @FlaPanthers #LeafsForever

@NHL_Muse Are points the only thing that goes into this trophy???? Should be a lot more than that!!!

@ComingInHotSens Now you know why so many players including Canadian players have a “7 team no trade clause” we all know it’s the 7 Canadian teams!!!

Jake Sanderson on the phone call "Looking back at it now I think it was a mistake but I think things got blown out of porportion a little bit." #gosensgo

@ComingInHotSens Obviously every NHL team pr office are working overtime to control damages from their top US players.
