Basically ... expansion fees are intoxicating. The NHL is nuts to want to expand past 32, although pretty much everybody other than the league office thinks they should be looking to relocate the Arizona franchise.

Reimer got the W to get his 10th win of the season. Apparently San Jose made a soft promise to move him at the deadline if they could and he's not happy about being stuck there. Dollars to doughnuts, he's finally ready to take another back up job somewhere more stable next season. He held out for a shot at starting last time his was out of contract, but that's what landed him in rebuild land. I like Reims and I hope he can find a job somewhere enjoyable.

Our old friend Tony D is at it again. Gets a major and game misconduct for spearing Corey Perry in the jewels.
At least the refs called a spear. I’ve seen too many of them called a slash instead. Under Rule 62, attempting a spear is a double minor but making contact is a major and automatic game misconduct.
Loved how many of his teammates jumped to his defense too.

It was Perry, so appropriate outrage is a bit tough to muster. Still, what a dumbass.
Wonder if that played into his decision. Rather get suspended than come play against the Canes. I hear he’s a “huge Caniac”.
He didn’t want to be walked by Aho again.

and they do have a reason to at least keep half a foot on the gas. To avoid TB or Toronto. Wild card races are going to be a dogfight to the end!
Given how they treated Hayden Fleury the other night, probably wise. That boy got straight up abused by five or six guys who's eyes all lit up when they saw who was trying to stop them.

One per jewel.
Boston has a 17 point lead over Toronto and two games in hand ... effectively they could lose TEN more games than the Leafs or Bolts from here until end of the season and still win the Division. I think their AHL roster could potentially manage that. They'll want to maintain momentum and a winning mentality, but no need to get carried away by playing guys who might be nicked up or anything. Especially their older guys. So half a foot on the gas, I guess ... or a couple of toes at least.
