Gorton to the Isles?
Hearing rumors are circulating that the Islanders are considering Jeff Gorton to take over the Islanders operation. He knows the NY market, he’s incredibly well respected throughout the league & he’s American. He alao supposedly has felt different about living in a Canadian market ever since he started hearing the American anthem beeing severely booed throughout Canadian cities including Mtl. While i doubt he’d leave i have to admit that anything’s possible.

There are at least 2 published reports in the NYC media indicating Gorton will be offered the position with the Islanders.
Rangers Sign Drury To Muiti-Year Contract

This decision has been roundly criticized in NYC by fans and media, and it was openly speculated on WFAN that Drury has "photos of owner James Dolan" (which I took to mean in bed with a woman who is not his wife). This would be the best explanation for this deal, as much of the disaster that was this past season can properly be laid at Drury's feet.
Rangers extend GM Drury after missing playoffs
The Rangers agreed to a multiyear extension with GM Chris Drury, keeping him in charge of their hockey operations moving forward after missing the playoffs.
Rangers give GM Chris Drury multi-year contract extension after disastrous season
While some believed — or hoped, or both — that the calamity would cost Drury his job, a statement and a message was delivered on Wednesday.

Oilers are worse than last season. The defence is terrible & goaltending even worse. Evander Kane missed the entire season & Zack Hyman is back to being Zack Hyman. Jeff Skinner was signed as a top UFA & he’s been awful & was scratched last night. You still have Mcdavid & Draisaitl but you need more than two great players.
Let me make a prediction & i encourage anyone to bookmark it: if the Oilers get a quick exit from the playoffs Connor Mcdavid will not re-sign in Edmonton. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in his hometown team (Toronto) especially if they chose not to re-sign Mitch Marner which would leave the Leafs with tons of cap space to sign #97. It has never been a big secret that Mcdavid has always wanted to play for the Leafs & he also owns a home north of Toronto. His family whim he’s extremely close to still lives near Toronto & Mcdavid spends the offseason training with other NHLers in the city.
The Maple Leafs haven't allowed more than 2 goals in any of their 3 games against Ottawa, and that's why they lead 3-0. Who can remember any Maple Leafs team in the last 20 years that didn't allow more than 2 goals for 3 straight games. It's better goalies and better defense. I think they can be a real threat but they are still going to need to get by Florida in round 2 and that's not going to be easy. No picnic there.
I used to think "Killer" Kirill Kaprisov, also known as KKK, was the best player on the Wild, but now I think it's Matt Boldy. What a great player he is becoming, and nobody talks about him. I am not sure if the posters here even know who he is. He is developing into a major star right before our eyes.
Without a doubt the player of the night last night was Cam Fowler, who had 5 points playing defense for the St. Louis Blues. Any time a defenseman scores 5 points in a playoff game, it's time to stand and clap your hands:
Dommage.....les carottes sont cuites pour les SENS....MATTHEWS---MARNER trop forts......TBAY dans le gros trouble.....pas de surprise là.....les BLUES...wow...rebondissent à la maison avec une grosse victoire.....et VEGAS aussi dans le trouble vs le WILD
qui pourrait bien mêler les cartes....à suivre.

Oh.....un peu prévisible....TBAY a rebondi 5-1 contre les PANTHERS.....vont pas se laisser faire comme çà.....lol....MAIS IMO ils ne vont pas résister très longtemps..
Another exciting game today between eternal rivals Tampa & Florida in which the Bolts won a must-win game on Florida ice to now trail 2-1 in the series. Cheap-shot artist Matthew Tkachuk may get suspended for a blind side hit on Jake Guentzel late in the game. It was likely retaliation for a similar blindside hit on Slava Barkov in game two by Brandon Hagel which got him suspended for today’s game. If Tkachuk isn’t suspended Tampa will likely retaliate in the next game!
Big game tonight in Kanata where i’ll be in attendance! The Leafs will look at eliminating the Senators & will then be able to relax for a few days until the Tampa-Florida series is over. Go Leafs Go!

Ouffff.....les SENS sauvent la mise avec une victoire de 4-3 en ot devant leurs fans.....bien content pour eux.....un 3ème match qui se décide en ot......quand même....MAIS....
VEGAS égalise la série 2-2 avec aussi une victoire en ot......et belle victoire décisive des AVS 4-0 ....et LANDESKOG avec un but une passe....wow....oui toute une inspiration....pourrait très bien faire la différence..... je le souhaite vraiment.

Non. Non et non. Hier c’est les Sens qui ont ete chanceux et se sont foler avec la victoire. Ca serait fini si Tavares se blessait pas pour rater l’avantage numerique de 4 minutes en temps supplementaire. Mais ca se terminera mardi soir a Toronto! Go Leafs Go!
Peut-être que oui....peut-être que non.....on les a vu choker plus d'une fois
À suivre!
