Glad Lehner spoke up and spoke truthfully. I wanted him to be a Shark before he went to Vegas.

Dearest Christine,
We fell to the spawn of Zeus this eve. We have embraced a new form of warfare called “tanking” it seems to earn a more quality recruit in the upcoming military draft. I long to return to the amber plains of the farm soon.
Truly yours,
John

via Gord Miller tweets,
One of the subjects discussed by NHL GMs yesterday was the proposed schedule matrix going forward, whether the league should stick with divisional playoffs for the first two rounds or go back to the old conference format.
As of last year, the format was mostly divisional, the top three teams in each division qualified, then the next two teams in the conference with the best records got in. An idea being floated now is for divisional only playoffs.
You could either have the top four teams get in, or you could expand it to five, and have teams 4/5 play in a best of three “play-in” series, with the winner playing the top seed in the division.
Division only playoffs could lead to an 84 game schedule that keeps a high number of divisional games:
-2 vs other conference home/away (32 games)
-2 vs other division home/away (16 games)
-5 vs own division (35 games)
-one additional game vs team in own division (biggest rival)
In exchange for an 84 game schedule, the teams would agree to a shortened training camp of two weeks (a big hit for the players) and a maximum of four pre-season games.

from Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times,
A University District punk-rock bar is suing the Kraken for $3.5 million, alleging the NHL expansion team’s name choice and plans to open a Northgate Mall practice facility restaurant risks irreparably harming its brand.
A lawsuit filed Thursday in King County Superior Court states the Kraken Bar & Lounge, founded in 2011 by William Knupp and husband-and-wife Kat Colley and Daniel Colley, had begrudgingly tolerated the team’s name choice despite a parade of new patrons in “hockey themed attire” showing up amid its usual music clientele wanting to make the venue their hangout. But the final straw, according to the lawsuit, came when the team this month announced it will open the Kraken Bar & Grill at its planned $80 million training facility come mid-September.
The lawsuit for trademark infringement and tortious interference asks that the team be prohibited from using “The Seattle Kraken” name and any others similarly confusing with its own trademarks.

I’ll be at little Caesar’s tomorrow, wife hooked us up with tickets to go see Pavelski in his career year. Still selling less than a thousand seats, lines and parking should be pretty smooth.
I wish I could still say ‘the joe’ had a much better ring to it. And you could go outside to smoke and still come back inside! How Archaic

But I agree the names of the "modern" rinks just do not have the same ring at all, just some long-assed brand name of some sort. The "Joe", "Olympia" etc sounds waaaaay better. |

via the PR department of the Tampa Bay Lightning,
After an unforgettable and unprecedented season, playing the entirety of the playoffs in the isolation of hub-cities for 65 days, the Tampa Bay Lightning were crowned the NHL's 2020 Stanley Cup Champions. And last night, the team received their Championship rings at a private team event.
A truly remarkable achievement deserves to be celebrated by an equally spectacular ring. Crafted in 14-karat white gold, diamonds and genuine blue sapphires, the Lightning's 2020 Stanley Cup Championship Ring celebrates that accomplishment in striking fashion.

While neither the WWE nor Peacock are willing to disclose how many new subscribers signed on to the OTT platform in the run-up to WrestleMania 37, Nick Khan on Thursday seemed happy to spill the beans about at least one other aspect of Comcast’s sports-media business.
Speaking to analysts during the WWE’s first-quarter earnings call, the president and chief revenue officer of the House that McMahon Built suggested that NBC and the NHL are poised to go their separate ways. In a response to a query about how the shuttering of NBCSN might lead to a scheduling boondoggle for USA Network, Khan said a coming regime change would eliminate any overlap between wrestling and hockey.
“It’s our belief that NBC and the NHL are not going to continue to be in business together,” Khan said, before adding that the remainder of the rights package that was not snapped up last month by ESPN would go “to a new suitor.”
Prior to Jan. 21, when NBC Sports announced it would close down the NBCSN cable net before the end of the year, the prospect of a WWE-NHL snag would have been unthinkable. But the elimination of NBCSN meant that USA would assume the bulk of the NHL schedule, an outcome that promised to send WWE Raw and WWE NXT on a collision course with hockey’s eight-month schedule.
Khan’s remarks about the status of the NHL’s rights package comes on the heels of chatter that favors ESPN to grab the remaining portion of games that it had left on the table a month ago. Earlier this week, a well-placed source intimated that Disney was in the process of working out a deal for the entire NHL slate, a monopolistic seizure that would run counter to commissioner Gary Bettman’s ambition of dealing in a second media giant.
An ESPN rep intimated that the company was over the moon about the deal it worked out in March and was not in the market for a full NHL takeover.
Fox Sports is also said to be looking into getting back onto the ice, after having aired its last NHL game in 1999. Fox recently untethered itself from its $3.3 billion Thursday Night Football package, which is set to expire at the end of the 2022 NFL season. (In addition to his ruminations on hockey, Khan also weighed in on the new Amazon TNF deal, telling investors that while WWE has no inside knowledge of the dynamic between the online retailer and the NFL, “we wouldn’t be shocked if Amazon was negotiating now, as we speak, to get that package on its air exclusively early.”
Turner Sports is also a viable candidate for an NHL bid, although talk about WarnerMedia’s possible interest in adding hockey to a slate already dominated by the NBA has been rather muted.
ESPN’s previously announced NHL deal gives Bristol the right to televise as many as four Stanley Cup Final matchups between 2022 and 2028. While the contract signed in March is believed to be worth in the neighborhood of $2.3 billion per year, a soup-to-nuts Disney-NHL union would not double the agreed-upon fee. As negotiated by the Mouse House, the league’s “A Package” already includes comprehensive digital/streaming rights, which include 75 exclusive games to stream nationally on ESPN+ and Hulu, and the NHL’s 1,000-game out-of-market suite.
NBC Sports has been the exclusive home to the NHL since the league returned to the ice following the 2004-05 lockout. In 2011, the two partners agreed on a 10-year, $2 billion extension.
In addition to opening the metaphorical NHL kimono, Khan touched briefly on the April 10-11 activation of the WWE’s partnership with Peacock. (“We were thrilled with the result, and our partners at Peacock were even happier,” he said.) When asked to specify how many people shelled out for WrestleMania, Khan demurred, saying, “Our partners at Peacock have asked us not to do that.”
WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon also steered clear of any audience data, saying only that WrestleMania 37 was “the most-viewed live event in Peacock’s young history.”
