Koivu out for the season (career?) with torn ACL.

And meniscus.
@SportsCentre: JUST IN: #Wild captain Mikko Koivu will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee. He is expected to have surgery on Friday. #TSNHockey

Oof that's a big blow the Wild. In addition to his skill, he is definitely going to be missed in the face-off possession game, especially in PP situations, where Mikko was always solid.
One year left on his contract, too. Wonder how he rebounds. We'll see.

McLeod's family never left Nashville, so it's a "do him a favour" trade. Plus Zac Rinaldo is out for the year. It's still nothing more than a
deal.

Koivu had already lost a step or three so that might be the nail in the coffin with today’s fast paced game. I always thought he’d carve out a 4th line role and extend his career quite a bit because he’s smart and does all the little things right. might just come a little sooner now.
hopefully this means Coyle back to center since he’s way more effective there and not more minutes for Rask. please less Rask.

Canes needed someone who would stay in front of the net. It paid off. His goals didn't come from there but he screens well too.
Canes/Sabres should be pretty good tomorrow. Big game for both teams.

Sabres, Canes, Flyers, and Rangers are going to be interesting to watch down the stretch, as I could see all four pressing for wildcard in the East.
That said, Sabres and Canes are more likely, IMHO, just from goal differential perspective alone.

The Rangers arent going anywhere once Hayes and Zuuc get dealt.
If not for Zibby, Kreider, Zuuc and Hayes this team would be winless in 2019. Trading two of the four will bring them more in line for Hughes than the wildcard. Unfortunately, with all of their stupid shootout wins, they wont sniff a top 3 pick unless they jump. They have the least amount of regulation wins in the league
Claude Julien really doing a masterful job with that group imo.Next 4 for the Habs should tell us if they are pretenders or actually legit.
Jets, Leafs, Preds, Bolts.
I may actually watch tonight.
Must be. The talent level is not there but everyone is on the same page.
At this point it they won't be getting a high draft pick so might as well use some of the cap space and plug a need or two.
Sabres stole a point at least. Reinhart to Skinner was nice to tie it up late.

Damn, the blues just took down the best team in the league on their ice in ot. It’s nice being able to care about their games again and this was a fun one.

Oilers game last night made me want to puke. God bless Boudreau moving Rask to the 4th line. going down swinging. Fenton sucks.

Everyone has been screaming for him to be fired since the first losing streak... one of 8, then 12, and now 7.
Last in the West Conf.
5-game road trip..... 3-9, 1-6, 1-4, 0-4, 2-6. Total 7-29
We did it!!!
Amazing Carlyle hung on as long as he did

Great Boston/LA game today. I'm surprised LA isn't better. Kopitar is a beast all over the ice. Love Doughty, but wasn't impressed with him today.
Anyway, really good game.
Coyotes dominated the Stars until 3:00 left, when the Stars scored two. Keller looks awesome for Arizona. Twenty years old. Team USA gotta be. They've -- the Coyotes -- got a guy to build with.
Heck of a Toronto/Montreal game, too. Tavares!

@DownGoesBrown: Bob Murray taking over as interim head coach is going to be the worst episode of Undercover Boss ever.

27 games left and the team sucks. Prefect excuse to keep losing and get a top 4 pick. The team desperately needs a young scoring forward.
Pretty sure they are going to promote Eakins from the SD Gulls. They just won 18 of 20, and many solid prospects there. Might not want to interrupt their chances of winning it down there.

Tarasenko with the hat trick today. Blues win 5-4.
He and Forsberg were dazzling.
eta* Thought it was a hatter, edited it to two because of a crawl, but it was a hat trick

He kept them afloat for the first half of the year but it wasn’t sustainable given how atrocious the team was in front of him.

yep. The wear and tear really got to him, and then I think it got in his head. Just left high and dry countless times per game.

Strome and Domi really coming on since leaving Arizona. Jeez, just think if they'd held on to those guys instead of acquiring veterans. Next year, they'd be something. As it is, they're Arizona.

Fun game really opened up there in the 2nd period. Back to back big wins for the Blues against Nashville.
Predators seem to just be chugging along...never really getting on any big streaks either way. Sort of inconsistent play that lacks any real identity right now.

Forsberg's second goal that tied the game was artfully done. Yeah, you guys would seem locked into second in the Central but have played a few more games than the rest. I love watching Josi and Subban and Forsberg.

33 - 16 - 6. Really unbelievable.
First round match-up vs TOR would be juicy.

Chicago and St. Louis have won a combined 13 straight and are both right in the playoff mix on the backs of Delia and Binnington, just as we all expected. Could include Philly as well who have gone 10 games without a regulation loss but I think a lot of us actually did expect Carter Hart to be this good.

I would love to see Toronto play the Isles in round 1 for the storylines. My first wish though is Toronto/Montreal* in the 2/3 spots, it's been 40 years since these two have met in the playoffs, it's way past due.
I'd also love to see a Calgary/Edmonton battle of Alberta in round 1 but the Oilers seem unwilling/undeserving of looking like anything near a playoff team.
*basically anyone but Boston in round one really
