3 Likely Destinations for Phil Kessel
Kessel has a “no trade clause” as a part of his contract, but he has given Pittsburgh 8 teams that he would be willing to go to. It probably isn’t Minnesota, as per Pierre LeBrun. We can also assume it isn't Philadelphia because these two cities despise each other. So, here’s a list of potential destinations that I think Phil the Thrill could be headed to this summer.
Stanley Cup Final Preview: Bruins vs. Blues
So, here we are. The Stanley Cup Final has been set. St Louis was able to defeat the Sharks in 6 games to advance to their first Cup Final appearance in 49 years. Ironically enough, the last time they made it here, they faced off against the Boston Bruins. Almost half a century later, we have a rematch between the two on the big stage.
Hughes vs. Kakko Debate Heats Up!
The New Jersey Devils are going to have a tough time selecting their man at number 1 because this is a difficult decision. The New York Rangers are almost in a better positions at number 2 overall, because you take whoever the Devils don’t. If you’re the Devils on June 21st in Vancouver, who would you take?
Conference Final Preview: Sharks vs. Blues
The Western Conference Final is set. San Jose and St. Louis both won their game 7s in round two, which set them up for what should be a great conference final in the west.
Conference Final Preview: B’s vs. The Jerks
So the Eastern Conference has dwindled down to its final two teams: The Boston Bruins and The Carolina Hurricanes. For one team, anything less than this would’ve been a disappointment. For the other team, they’re just happy to be here. So, what do we have with this matchup?
What Happened to the Bolts?
The NHL playoffs are always unpredictable. That’s just the way it is, but if you told me on April 10th that Tampa would get swept out of the playoffs by Columbus this season, I would’ve actually been offended by your stupidity.
Round 1 Preview: Stars vs. Preds
First, let me just address that no I will not be doing a preview for each series. I’m not crazy enough to do that. I’ve picked a few series that I think are interesting enough to write about. That’s why I chose Nashville vs Dallas to write about.
Puck Tour: United Center
Let me start off with saying that this game was the best game I have ever been to in my entire life. Look at that score above - it was like I was watching football. Sports are all about defense these days, it was awesome to see a game that was so high scoring. I was on the edge of my seat the entire game, truly incredible.
Puck Tour: American Airlines Center
Dallas was incredible. My best friends cousin lives over in Dallas, and works for the Sheraton, so she hooked me up with a hotel. In return, I hooked her up with a game ticket. She’s never been to a Stars game, and has lived in Dallas her entire life.
Puck Tour: PPG Paints Arena
The second stop on the arena tour was Pittsburgh. And let me tell you, I had the time of my fucking life. I did not realize when I bought my ticket that it was in the Captain Morgan Club, and I was right on the glass behind the penalty box. Initially, I was trying to wear the home team gear to each game, but the Pens were playing my team. So, I said fuck it, and was the only one in red in the entire club section. Devils fans did not travel well.
