What's really amazing, is how great he has been, if you take away that 2018 Cup he's only been past the second round once in his career. Seeing what Barry Trotz is doing with the Islanders, letting him walk after just winning the Stanley Cup easily one of the worst and dumbest decisions of all time.

Depends on how bad he wants to win another Cup.

I couldn't believe the news when I heard that (Trotz and Caps couldn't agree to new terms or whatever it was). The coach gets you Lord Stanley you pay the man and keep him around. Their loss was certainly the Islanders gain.

I saw how he coached when he was in Nashville. Part of the reason he didn’t get out of the first round was that usually ran in to the Red Wings when they were at their best. It was obvious, though, that Trotz was the reason they were so good. When he was with the Caps, I knew he would get them to the Cup Finals, and possibly win it, which they did. I could not believe that they let him go! He was the reason they won. Now they are back to their usual ways again. Stupid!

After receiving racist messages and comments on social media following Edmonton's series-ending loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, Oilers defenseman Ethan Bear is speaking out against the racial abuse he's been subjected to.

"I'm here to stand up to this behavior, to these comments," Bear said in a video statement released by the Oilers on Wednesday. "I'm proud of where I come from. I'm proud to be from Ochapowace First Nation. And I'm not just doing this for myself — I'm doing this for all people of color. I'm doing this for the next generation, to help make change, to love one another, to support one another, to be kind to each other.

"There's no place for racism in our communities, in sports, or in our workplace. So I call on all of us to help make change, and to end racism. We all deserve to be treated fairly. At the end of the day, I think we'll get there."

Props to the Nashville Predators for a hard-fought series w/ the Hurricanes. This Canes fan salutes you!

Ready or not, here comes the Lightning for the next round.

There was a butt kicking at the Pepsi Center in Denver tonight and the Las Vegas Golden Knights provided the butt. 7-1 the final.

I hope the NHL gives Ryan Reaves a 20-game suspension for his assclownery tonight. Not only did he deliberately try to injure Ryan Graves, he cross-checked Philipp Grubauer in the back of the head immediately before taking down Graves. Dirty douchebag.

Yeah I didn't have a particular dislike for him before, as he was more of a "follows 'the code'" enforcer, but this was just waaaaay over the top.
