Thank god for the visor rule. Celebrini would have taken the guy's eyes out in the old days.

Well that was an interesting weekend in the NHL. Pittsburgh and Edmonton trade goalies, then Vancouver trades Quinn Hughes to the Wild for essentially four first rounders. That might make Minnesota a favorite to win the Cup now. If Hughes signs an extension in MN, it's an absolute win for the Wild; If he doesn't, Vancouver absolutely fleeced them.

Speaking of goalies, we got Hellebuyck back

I feel bad for Comrie, but we just play with way more confidence when we have Helle in net.

Wish em well.

Three best teams in hockey are all in one division. As well as the Wild are playing, I don't see how they make up the gap on Dallas and Colorado with as good as those two teams are. Wild might end up being the third best team in the league and still lose in the first round.
