Dallas is pretty damn deep, if no superstars:

Playoff oponents more specifically, I'm a little surprised that Hedman at 33 is a 1 PPG player:

Carolina with only one player above 1 PPG:

Same with Boston, Pastrnak the only guy above 1 PPG:

Colorado with some Leafy top heaviness:

It's amazing how many experts are sleeping on Dallas. They could win it all.

Are "experts" sleeping on them though?  I read that they're rounding into form quite nicely, and Jake is playing well.

The Stars are most certainly built nicely to contend, I think.

The proposed location is 30 min from downtown Phoenix, about 20ish miles, so that's like... the Leafs relocating to Markham.

 

[Frank E]

Well, I'll believe it when I see it...interesting that they put "Phoenix" on top of the arena, and not "Arizona".

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Yeah, that ain't happening.

MLSE or MSGS gonna do the funniest thing...

The account is usually operated by the owner's son when it's related to arena stuff, btw, for extra funny.

 

[OldTimeHockey]

So they're building in Kanata?

Not quite, I have spent 8 of my last winters in Scottsdale and it a frikken fantastic location, the city is expanding on all sides and the loop 101 is a great access road as are Scottsdale, Hayden, Cave Creek and Pima.
It is the best location I can imagine. It would be about 15 minutes from my rental in Carefree, better than the hour and crazy traffic to get to Gila.

Uh oh

Ref collided with a Lightning player at centre ice. Stretcher is out for the ref.

I actually have that game on, the ref didn?t move for a good while so I think was out cold.

He?s been moving hands and talking since so fingers crossed the back board etc is excess caution.

Yeah hitting the ice basically fully horizontal is scary looking.

Lightning clawing back from 4-1 to tie now.

 

[herman]

Bunting!!

 

[herman]

This game ending is madness.

Tampa has pulled Vasilevskiy and Hedman breaks a stick on a one-time attempt but hustles back to draw the icing. On the next face off his stick breaks again! But Pittsburgh clears the puck over the glass.

Penguins gutting out a 4 on 6 to try to preserve the lead to keep their playoff hopes alive

 

[Arn]

Very entertaining game that was.

Now Boston and Florida.

Good evening for scouting Leafs playoff opponents!
