The real and only reason the Edmonton Oilers have not won a Stanley Cup during the McDavid era is simple: The goal song. They can change all the coaches they want but there's no championship to be won when that song plays for you.

Watching MTL vs CAR, in American Football terms, is like watching two teams run cover zero blitzes on every down. Some sacks, lots of incomplete passes, but always the chance for total chaos.

@JeffMarek Thank you for making this point. Deboer and Cassidy were also both hired while under contract with another team, iirc.

Another point to consider in the Vegas/Cassidy situation - the Golden Knights had to ask the Philadelphia Flyers for permission to talk to John Tortorella. The courtesy was granted and now Cassidy's replacement has VGK in the Western Conference final.

@bobtthomasvisor Obviously its that they have hired their previous coaches even though they too were under contract with another team

From NHL perspective, the league feels the Vegas response to date is consistent with the team’s existing contractual rights, as well as with established league policy. So, it remains very much up to the VGK if and when teams can talk to Cassidy while he's under contract.
Mark Lazerus@MarkLazerus

There are teams that want to talk to fired Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy. They're gonna have to wait. "Our focus is currently on the Stanley Cup playoffs." Story: nytimes.com/athletic/72930…

@JonathanWillis DeBoer was hired by VGK a month after SJS fired him. Cassidy was hired 8 days after BOS fired him. And they got Torts a year after he was fired by PHi, but i think he was still under contract there too.

I actually have no issue with Vegas sticking a spoke in the tires of Edmonton and Los Angeles. They're not here to help them. But firing Cassidy and then keeping him locked up speaks volumes about how much the organization cares about its people. Not for the first time, either.

@RaleighReporter Except the Town Manager was fired for this and other actions that also have him potentially facing legal consequences

Every other local government in NC can blame Cary for giving the #ncga easy examples of unnecessary spending as they consider restrictions on property taxes
Sarah Edwards@eddy_sarah

absolutely wild scoop by my @indyweek colleague Chloe Courtney Bohl on the Town of Cary’s $330k spend on “documentary-style videos about town projects and culture”—including a mini doc about the leadup to a staff flash dance—for internal use. indyweek.com/news/cary-vide…

@EDLAnalytics He had 27.16 speed bursts over 20mph per 60 minutes of TOI. Most in the NHL for the season. McDavid finished at 21.68 per 60. He wasn't even on my radar until I calculated the full season data from nhl edge.

Is Jared Wright going to get a full time role NHL role with the Kings next year? It looks like he had some good underlying numbers in the regular season and playoffs and plays with some speed based on the video I was able to find of him

@nateberkopec @badlogicgames This post lives at the intersection of frustration and resignation. That's a clear distinction and it changes the math.

@coopsie39 Fastest (top speed) forwards on EDM this season were: McDavid, Kapanen, Draisaitl, Podkolzin, Hyman, and then Howard. And for speed bursts over 20mph per 60 minutes played, Howard was right there with Roslovic and just above Pod. He's got speed and skates hard (all nhl edge data)

SOR is a very good prospect - a great season at 20 against teenager. Howard is a very good prospect - a great season against men at 21 Howard is a very hard worker and coachable - his 2-way game, recognition of risk, battle level improved in spades. The Roslovic replacament
Dean K@deankal1

Oiler fans who are going crazy because Sam O’Reilly had a great yr in the CHL can’t understand that Howard had an incredible season in the AHL against men & is scoring at the Worlds. PS… dont write this kid off yet folks He may make u look stupid but yah never know Patience

@dantencer Every embellishment minor should come with a 10 minute misconduct

Dan Tencer@dantencer·
The NHL is going to have to start calling embellishment on its own. It’s getting worse every game, it seems. Change the rule so that any embellishment automatically washes out any other foul on the play and results in a penalty by itself. Watch it magically stop.
