And it appears its FINALS, like the NBA, not FINAL like the NHL.

And wouldn't you know it, not only will we see a brand new champ since the Frost got booted in the previous round, but it'll be a Canadian ...

Guys don't want to play in certain places. So the teams have to overpay, and then they're stuck with okay players on shitty contracts that are going to need to be bought out in a few years.
I wouldn't be too surprised to see them move, like you said.

Schaefer wins the Calder unanimously! 198 voters, 198 first place votes. I am mainly shocked there wasn't one voter who voted differently just to do so.

Congrats kid! Very well deserved.

But wait, there's more!

Now also Hamilton and Las Vegas.

Most GMs will want their own coach, but they usually want to have meetings with the current coach about what they think the team needs. May as well pick his brain before you fire him, or who knows, maybe Berube tells him some changes that make perfect sense and they work well together going ...

Berube fired. No surprise there, other than maybe how long it took to do.

Always a good idea to give out a big, long contract to a 34 year old player.

The Walter Cup will be in Canada. Montreal takes Game 5 2-1 over Minnesota, setting up Montreal vs Ottawa for the championship.

Game 5 postponed due to lots of illness among the teams. They're playing it tonight. If that many players are ill enough to move a playoff game, does 24 hours really make a difference?

Ottawa takes out Boston, winning the series 3-1 with a 2OT win. Charge are in the Finals for the 2nd straight year after getting into the playoffs in 4th place, on the last day of the season.

Pulock with shoulder surgery. He didn't look like himself for a while there. Just a mystery why they waited until like a month after being eliminated to do it.

I gave the Flyers too much credit. Canes sweep the first two rounds.

Something tells me he’ll be somewhere else next season.

Or Tocchet will be. Scumbag.

It wasn't nearly as high a pick, but the Isles traded down from 7th to 9th to pick Josh Bailey in 2008. Said they'd targeted Bailey for their pick all along so they saw it as a great move.

Tavares and Barzal on team Canada together. All rumors were they didn't like each other. After leaving the Isles Tavares said the Isles would be in good shape with Lee (named a few other Isles) and then added "the kid who won the Calder". People said he either forgot Barzal's name or just refused to ...

Slavin savin' on the goal line!

aol.com? What year is this?

Isles say Rocky Thompson will move from AHL affiliate HC to NYI AC. He has worked with Boughner and DeBoer before. Not sure if he replaces DeRosiers or Bennett, who is still there, but the PP was stir fried dog shit, so he may be on his way out.

In "no shit" news, Schaefer is a Calder finalist.
