Sweden never did a lockdown , they thought they were smarter than everybody else. They were proved wrong
OK ... so mid-January start, with camps either right after Christmas or after New Years with no ex-games. Fine, let's see how that goes.More from Elliotte Friedman.

Billy Guerin looks pretty bad in that narrative since he was the Pens front office point man who allegedly told Skalde to "get over it."Former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins assistant coach Jarrod Skalde is suing the Penguins, the Lemieux Group and former WBS head coach Clark Donatelli He alleges that Donatelli assaulted his wife and when he told Penguins management, he was told to keep quiet.

The Florida Panthers have established at “Goaltending Excellence Department”, headed by Roberto Luongo, who is a special advisor to GM Bill Zito. They’ve brought in Francois Allaire as a consultant and he joins Panthers goalie coach Robb Tallas and Checkers goalie coach Leo Luongo. They have Bob in goal for another 6 years and also have 2019 1st rounder Spencer Knight in his sophomore year at BC. Their minor league goalies have never played in the NHL.

Lemme get this straight. They hired Allaire as a consultant, already pay Tallas an NHL assistant salary and have a full time minor league goalie coach ... AND they're bringing in Luongo to do something? That's a LOT of horsepower and a LOT of their coaching budget tied up on goaltending. Not to mention they're paying Bob $10 mil a year for the rest of his natural life.The Florida Panthers have established at “Goaltending Excellence Department”, headed by Roberto Luongo, who is a special advisor to GM Bill Zito.

Sure. Makes sense.

Yeah, that's a lot of cashish to pay someone to just tell people, "Do it like I did it. Especially against the Hurricanes." Another team could do the same by hiring Henrik Lundqvist after he retires. He'll just quote Luongo, "Do it like I did it. Especially against the Hurricanes."
I mean ... in reality they're just inventing a role so they can keep Luongo engaged with the organization. So, it probably doesn't really hold up to any real scrutiny anyway. You think Bob is listening to any of that outside noise? 99% chance he's barely paying attention to the goalie coach much less anybody else.
Luongo came on board last year, Zito is shuffling things around in the front office after taking over in September. Tallas has been with the organization for 10+ years, Luongo the Younger has been the minor league goalie coach for 4 years. But bringing in Allaire is an odd move, having never worked with Luongo the Older in any of his stops. It’s especially odd considering that Spencer Knight is their only bona fide goalie prospect and he’s still in college.
And there is no way that Bob is listening to any of them.

yeah, i like our chances with that lot.
Honestly? 2nd or bust, for me. And Brindy would be nuts not to set the expectation at the Division title.
Helluva story on The Athletic about how friends saved Mark Parrish’s life.

Friends intervened to get former NHL All-Star Mark Parrish into alcohol rehab, a harrowing journey that has only just begun.

It’s gonna depend on what Tampa’s roster ultimately looks like and how healthy Stamkos is. It’s not an unreasonable expectation.
Maybe not an expectation per se, but a goal? Absolutely reasonable.
