That one will haunt the Blues for a while. Up 3-1 with 2 minutes to play and blew it. On top of that, tons went wrong for the Jets that series and they couldnt capitalize...
  • Hellebuyck still seeing playoff ghosts
  • Scheifele knocked out in game 5 and missed games 6 & 7
  • Ehlers out games 1-4
  • Vilardi out games 1-5
  • Morrissey only played 2 minutes of game 7
Have had a soft spot for the Jets ever since they got a team back. A city barely larger than the Des Moines Metro and 8 hours from any other major city, with insane fan support.

As a Blackhawks fan it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I see the Blues lose in a horrible fashion.

Winnipeg is an interesting place. It feels more like a Minneapolis/KC level of urbanity than it does Des Moines or Omaha.

Nope, NY Islanders win the Draft Lottery. Believe they had the 10th best odds going in.
Full Draft order. Utah made a big jump up as well :

1. New York Islanders +9
2. San Jose -1
3. Chicago -1
4. Utah +10
5. Nashville -2
6. Philadelphia -2
7. Boston -2
8. Seattle -2
9. Buffalo -2
10. Anaheim -2
11. Pittsburgh -2
12. New York Rangers -1
13. Detroit -1
14. Columbus -1
15. Vancouver
16. Montreal from Calgary

Really like the logo. Especially like that they tied the Wasach Mountains into it, and did a better job of that than the Jazz did in the 1990s.

I like the logos. Although it would have been nice to have a color combo other than another blue and white team. Seems a lot of new teams are selecting that while losing the coyotes colors. Not picking there though.

My bigger issue is they will need a nickname. Mammoths just doesn’t roll off the tongue well. But I don’t see an easy shortening of this like you have with the Avalanche or Hurricanes.
