He's right though; both Lias and Chytil was the 13th forward yesterday. And may I say, totally expected as well with the rosters packed with NHL top6 players now.

Someone on twitter made a joke about being able to write-off gambling losses...but I wonder if you'll actually be able to do that?

I'm not into gambling, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask for info on it. But from what I've read, it sounds like NJ should be up-and-running in a matter of weeks, but other states will have to pass laws and things like that. The ruling was simply that the federal ban on state-sanctioned sports books was unconstitutional. Not all states are going to allow gambling, I would imagine.

So for non-NJ (and Nevade, obviously) states, it'll probably be awhile before their sports books are up and running.

legalizing sports gambling with nothing but baseball on the horizon for months is like ending prohibition but all you can drink is coors light

The NHL "changing" the rules for the playoffs is a Top-5 Worst Thing in Sports.

Reality was that game could have been 6-0. 1st PP could have been offsetting penalties, 2nd PP was a joke.

Tampa is awful 5 on 5 right now

They are apparently suffering from a lack of fiber, according to Callahan.

Nice write up Jan!

After this stellar playoff run, I just don't think Zib or Hayes is going to be nearly enough for Trouba. Right handed d-men are the premium position of the current NHL and will always cost more. Might have to add Andersson +

As far as future Rangers coach--- Brooks is part of the problem here with his speculation. He has NO idea what Gorton is thinking, yet he has to write a column and so he makes this nonsense up. I am sure the Rangers have a very clear plan, they just aren't sharing it with Larry Brooks.
