I liked all the go pros. Makes you really appreciate how fucking fast these guys are. I also liked the mikes on the goalies.
I didnt like the redneck Canadian announcers though: "This new technology will give us something fierce in terms of statistics" just...why...its okay to be educated these days....

Get rid of this stupid breakaway crap and bring back the shootout elimination. That's what everyone really wants to see.

Mike Richards just got waved by the Kings. The guy is only 30 but his career is done thanks to what, injuries? Cocaine?

He should still be able to have a career - just the Kings can't justify his salary and term for what his role is there. He might still be a useful player elsewhere (though he will likely never live up to his munniez). That's like Clarkson money.

edit: To elaborate on the original reply, the Kings are stupid-deep at center. Stoll, Kopitar, Carter, plus the newer guys. It makes no sense for them to keep Richards to play a 3rd/4th line roll when he is being paid like a 30 goal scorer.

edit 2: fucked up before when reading Richards' contract breakdown.

Oilers should pick him up because why not and there is that talk of them needing a center.

Naw, they've already got McDavid penciled in at #2 center for next season.

Damn, just looked up Richards' numbers and holy hell he has been on a massive decline the last few seasons. Boat anchor contract for a player who fell off a cliff #nothx #mceichel #lolilers #datrebuild

Another things to consider with Richards: being traded for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, and a 2nd Rounder looks like a pretty good deal for the Flyers. You could say that LA is happy to give up the production from 2011-2014 for Richards contributions to two Cup wins. Still, that contract is really looking horrible. I don't think anyone imagined Richards' production dropping off this much though.

And they get who, Vorachak for Carter? On the other hand LA got a Cup. Only the Jackets look bad in those trades

Yea, essentially Voracek/8th overall/3rd rounder for Jack Johnson and a late 1st rounder.

Yikes.

He delayed it long enough... it almost is sad that he's gonna retire a Blue's player.

And go to work for them too. By all rights he should be working for the Devils after the career he had with them. Should have retired as one too.

I don't blame NJ though. They did what was right for the win column. That's how teams should be working
