Nashville Predators’ sellout streak ends at 192 | On the Forecheck
The “tickets distributed” streak (sellout streak is a little too disingenuous for me) comes to an end after 192 games. The streak began on April 2, 2016.

The results of an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich in 2010 shook the hockey world, but the story isn’t over yet, with many important questions still needing answers.
Joel Quenneville meeting Gary Bettman over Blackhawks scandal Thursday | Sportsnet
Florida should’ve fired Quenneville two days ago, but since he’s still there as of now, and seeing how light the penalties against the Blackhawks were, I can’t see Bettman growing a spine and forcing Quenneville to the unemployment line.

Much like Quenneville, Cheveldayoff also should’ve been fired two days ago.

Preds land at #18 in ESPN’s latest poll. Can’t really argue with that. I do like that they acknowledged Ryan Johansen’s hot start.

Which Teams Can Afford Jack Eichel? The Hockey News on Sports Illustrated
The Golden Knights and the Avalanche are the only two teams I can see taking this big of a swing, which I very much DO NOT LIKE.
That being said, the consequences of this not working would be astronomical. So I kind want one of them to try it, and just hope that they crash and burn in the process.
