@TheBannermenPod Not exactly the player you would compare to a wide receiver, but it works.

Mark Stone, running the deep post route, gets behind the secondary.

The costly mistake companies keep making when they promote top performers.

My brilliant friend @GlennSonnenberg has begun writing a column for @katiecouric media:

@helenenothelen Neither was I. But the better team won both games. I hate to have to say that, but it's true.

So our country does shit and it leads to gas prices soaring? America is the leading active producer of oil and by a gigantic margin. We have no supply problem. I feel like our government lies to its citizens a lot.

Verbeek has done in 4 years what Robitaille & Co have failed to do in 9.

The Ducks are ridiculously young. Carlsson: 21 Gauthier: 22 Sennecke: 20 McTavish: 23 McQueen: 19 Lacombe: 25 Mintyukov: 22 Moore: 23 Zellweger: 22 Luneau: 22 Solberg: 20 Dostal: 25 Tons of growth in a short period, and there's more help on the way. The future is bright.

Wake up happy Ducks fans. This is going to be the normal for years to come. The future is bright and will be many more playoff games in future. Quack quack #flytogether

And there are at least 10,000 all-time Torts prior to this.
Pete Blackburn@PeteBlackburn
Torts getting fined $100,000 and costing his team a 2nd-round pick while basically on a tryout with Vegas is all-time Torts

@calstanvard Interesting dynamic: Tortorella presents really well on television, but isn't that smart. Daryl Sutter, by contrast, was the exact opposite.

Intelligence has never been his strength.

@calstanvard I've been hot and cold on Gary for years. But this is a good call.
English
I don't think this will hold up after Vegas appeals but Bettman is sending a message to the remaining coaches and teams ... "You fuck the media and fans who pay your salary because you think you're special? We will fuck you. FAFO."
Elliotte Friedman@FriedgeHNIC
Golden Knights docked a second-round pick and coach John Tortorella fined $100K
English
@calstanvard Too bad. Kings need every advantage they can get.
English
@EricSwensonlead Taking their 2nd rd pick is pretty ridiculous. They'll backtrack I think
English
This is precisely correct. By shunning media Torts was making himself the story and inviting media attention. It's always been about him. He's an experienced egomaniac and knew exactly what he was doing. A middle finger to the media that makes the existence of NHL possible.
SinBin.vegas@SinBinVegas
Any and all discussion about the airplane is a ridiculous smokescreen being used as a valid excuse when it is not. Just like the 3rd period of a game, postgame media is not optional (for many reasons, but to simplify, because it is for the fans). You cannot play two periods and then say, well, we have to go because the plane is leaving. What if the game had gone to OT? What if there was a review that delayed the game for a few more minutes? Heck, what if the game was scheduled at 7:30 instead of 6:30? Would the Golden Knights have just left? It's nonsense and anyone who takes even a few moments to think critically about it knows. This was blatant, purposeful disrespect to the media and thus in turn hockey fans and specifically VGK fans. Anyone taking it any other way is either ignorant, brainwashed, or being deliberately callous.

@calstanvard And you don't even listen to his radio hits. He's worse on the radio than he is as a writer. I know that's hard to believe.
English
Can we start a petition to suspend this dude Pagnotta from talking ... like forever? He really bothers me.
NHL Rumour Report@NHLRumourReport
David Pagnotta: Re Blackhawks: They've had interest in Matthew Knies; I wouldn't be shocked if they call up John Chayka and say, we wanna give you the 4th overall pick and this and this for Knies - Leafs Morning Take (5/7)
English
@calstanvard Love Gabby but...
1) Bylsma (bum deal in Seattle, won a SC, did great in Coachella Valley)
2) Gallant
3) everyone else
Hope we get to do this without retreads...
English
How do you feel about any of these retread head coaching candidates for LA?
Peter Laviolette
Bruce Boudreau
Gerard Gallant
Dan Bylsma
Patrick Roy
Rank the Top 3 you'd be ok with?
English
@calstanvard We may not be the perfect place for Cassidy, but in any case, we need him more than he needs us.
English
🧵 Is LA Good For Cassidy?
If I'm Bruce Cassidy I wouldn't overemphasize the current roster to pick his next gig. The stability of the boss (ie GM and President of Hockey Ops if there is one), layers of management, and ownership structure and involvement should be the priority.
English
@Kopitar4HOF A philosophical genius. So many people underestimate Daryl - he is a truly wise person.
English
One of my favorite all-time Darryl Sutter moments.
That, the "It's not about whether you win or lose. It's whether you're winning or losing", and the comments about the refs missing Ryan Clowe reaching over the bench to play the puck.

The Kingstorian@Kingstorian
On May 12, 2014, @LAKings head coach Darryl Sutter proclaimed that John Gibson is "the best goalie I've ever seen," after a 4-3 loss in Game 5 versus Anaheim. The Ducks held a 3-2 series lead against the #LAKings in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. #GoKingsGo
