He did something, absolutely, I just question the gravity of it within the context of his being part of a Blackhawks organization shrouded in controversy Hawks can't afford bad PR, if he'd been part of another franchise it may have just been a slap on the wrist I just question the speed some folks around the hockey community demonized him, the league clearly doesn't want bad PR either, I reckon that if there'd been any weight to what occurred he wouldn't be an Oiler Which isn't to say he didn't violate contract law, if he hadn't the Hawks wouldn't have had a case for termination

Whether Cal gets charged or not, his father will always be his father

I don't know, if it were another franchise I'd question it more, Chicago will likely do anything they can to avoid bad press at this point The cover up is going to loom over that franchise for years, I wouldn't be surprised if they were trigger happy

I wouldn't be surprised to see Adam step back for a bit, wouldn't be surprised to see him ride it out either

Oilers have allowed three goals or less in 16 straight games

I'm not gonna count as us being divisional champs as a sure thing either, all it'd take is a major injury and things could change quickly Vegas seems to be maintaining momentum without Eichel, Edmonton is the hottest team going

Sounds like he drank too much and made a pass at someone, not the end of the world. If he'd been a member of any franchise that hadn't just covered up a sexual assault we probably wouldn't have heard about it. Assuming he was just flirting and not harassing. Could have been a no alcohol at team functions thing too. https://dailyhive.com/toronto/john-scott-corey-perry-blackhawks-oilers

I do think the Kings rebound and eventually secure a spot I think 4 Pacific teams make it

Hard to say, only a few have alibis and I'm not gonna pretend I know who has or hasn't done what when considering the rest

I dunno, but he seemed like a character guy when he was a Vancouver prospect

Gadjovich played 8:36 for Florida a couple nights ago

Sometimes that's all it takes

And so it was

That or like one of their three 2024 5th round picks to Chicago for future considerations

Hard to say, I'm not holding my breath as far as that investigation goes.

Yeah, but Kopitar is also that unicorn. As of today Bergeron is 38 and retired, Kopitar is 36 and still playing. Bergeron's last three seasons: 58 in 78, 65 in 73, 48 in 54. Kopitar's current season and previous two: 39 in 44, 74 in 82, 67 in 81. Kopitar's a bit younger, absolutely, but he's a stud and he's also a Selke caliber player, having won two of them and been in the conversation for more. Kopitar will be 37 in August and is signed for two more seasons, we'll see how he does but I expect he'll maintain the status quo or close to it. I've repeatedly sung Kopitar's praises, he's basically a superior version of Getzlaf. If he'd done what he's done out East instead of LA, he'd probably be more heralded.

Dubois finding his game is a must, Kings invested too much in him for him to underwhelm the way he has thus far Less sure about Kopitar and Doughty, as future hall of famers still playing at a high level they know the season grind better than most Bergeron aged spectacularly, Kopitar is in the same league but without the fanfare

That's a tough blow for a Philly team that looks like they could be a dark horse out East They're fortunate Ersson has been playing well, gotta wonder who backs him up though
