I had to follow Wysh on BlueSky because nobody else is breaking news there

I guess sometimes you just trade Mikko Rantanen

I’ve been wondering how long it’ll take for the big network (I guess outside of ESPN’s Wysh) guys to move over or at least cross-post on both. Most of the Athletic writers I care to follow are there, but it’s crickets from TSN or Sportsnet

I saw something about how NFL teams aren’t allowed to have accounts there. Wonder if there’s high-level pressure to stay on Twitter.

Max Bultman was active for a few weeks but seems to have stopped.

Powers on why the Blackhawks got such a shitty return on that trade: “We have enough prospects”

An abundance of prospects was always the motivation for how Davidson went about his rebuild. They’re flush with them. Seeking a prospect sweetener wouldn’t make sense in the big picture. It’s also unlikely the Hurricanes or Avalanche were going to give up someone who could make a dent in the Blackhawks’ prospects.

Are the avs responsible for the two biggest trades of the past two seasons? (this and byram/middlestadt)

Thank you Brady tkackuk for removing max domi from the playing surface

I read a post on HF that I didn't fact check (unnecessary) that said it's Chicago's 3rd so they can use it in an offer sheet. They are jealous of the blooze

[Grand Moff Larkin]

That’s correct

I don’t know who they’d be offer-sheeting though. People have mentioned them possibly giving a fuckton of money to Rantanen or Marner. I don’t think they’re good enough to offer-sheet any legit guys because their first is going to be top three.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Great that every other team in the mix seemed to win tonight

Still time for the Habs to blow it, I doubt that’ll happen

[nick]

Was just gonna say that that must be super annoying for you

[Grand Moff Larkin]

You’re right! It is!

[sutterfamily]

Well SAME HERE

[sutterfamily]

Did not clock when the trade went down that the Bruins got to play the Avs the next fucking day.

[nick]

Well that’s at least one point for Montreal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Are the Broons back to being good

[sutterfamily]

Sorta? I mean they were outshot 28-15 today.

I didn't post during the game but would you believe that Marchand got... zero penalty minutes for removing his glove and grabbing Nick Cousins' throat?
