PWHL Boston and Minnesota play Game 3 of their five-game series tonight at 7pm ET. The series is tied at 1-1, and tonight's winner gets the opportunity to win the inaugural Walter Cup on Sunday in Minnesota. Boston hosted the first two games, and gets Game 5 as the higher seed, if it gets that far. 

Edmonton and Dallas – aka oil industry north vs south – were tied 2-2 in double overtime when McDavid scored and won game 1 for the Oilers.

Panthers and Rangers play tonight in the East. Panthers have a 1-0 lead in the series. 

The Devils officially announced their hiring of Sheldon Keefe, who was not unemployed for long. And per LeBrun, the Devils replaced the two-year extension with the Leafs and gave him a four-year contract instead.

> Of note with NJ making the Sheldon Keefe hire official, the Leafs are 100 percent off the hook financially. Keefe's 2-year extension with the Leafs was ripped up as part of the Devils giving him a fresh, 4-year deal which pays more. Leafs won't owe anything as part of it all.

Lots of LeBrun today, he also reported other teams are talking to Don Waddell. 

> There’s word tonight that Don Waddell has permission from the Hurricanes to speak to other teams. His contract with Carolina is expiring.   
> The Hurricanes are believed to have already had conversations about a new GM because they expect his eventual departure.  
> Let’s see where this…

Too many people, in my opinion, are willing to live a worse life simply because it feels different. Anyway, back to hockey...
