Mid 2nd Bouchard with pp goal, 1st blood. McDavid with assist #9

Holy comeback by Boeser! Go Canucks! Quickly end it on OT, up 3-1 in series now.

Quickly 1-0 Canucks, Boeser (2) scores.

3rd string goalie starting for Canucks, no good at all (and 4th stringer is back up)!

4-1 with another PP goal by Niskushkin

Aves simply have looked too strong & deep for past number of periods.

PP goal & now 2-1 Aves 3-1 Aves, poor Jet goalie. Aves getting lots of shots.

Beck 0pt 0 shots 6/14, down 2-1 end 2nd period.

Mid 2nd 1-1 Jets/Aves. I wanna pull for the Jets.

From U-18 clip, Hughes again said/hinted they will not be drafting a LH d-man at 5. So i think can write off Buium, Silayev and Dickinson as Hab options. And gotta think even RH-d are unlikely to be picked with Reinbacher/Mailloux looking promising, unless Mailloux is 'the one' being dealt with Jet pick for a forward i suppose.

TVA tossed out 5 names for a Dach/Newhook like trade options; Jack Quinn or Krebs-Sabres, Alexander Holtz, Kaliyev, or Kakko. I dont know enough, if these would be good options or not.

Indeedy. "TORONTO — Eight years and nine playoff series into their shared tenure as saviors of the Maple Leafs, three of the best individual performers in franchise history were reduced to sniping at one another on the bench after bumbling through an ineffective shift together. William Nylander appeared to direct pointed criticism at Mitch Marner. Auston Matthews looked to have some words for his teammate(s), too. Marner turned and tossed each of his gloves to the ground in frustration...." Johnston: This is the end of the Maple Leafs as we know them - The Athletic

Kinda agree. Not sure would use up next year 1st picks; but adding a young skilled top 6 forward should really help and Hughes has said more offense needed. Parekh & Hutson on the PP units wouldnt hurt any. But, if picked a Buium, Levshunov or a Dickinson, would also seem fine my me. The Athletic has Lindstrom ranked at 11, which seems low, but who knows maybe only Demidov & Celebrini will be forwards off the board at 5 or 6?

I know, just more update thats all. Isles/Carolina 1-1 after 2nd.
