Just a reminder it's an 8pm start tonight. 

Take it away, John Candy.

Last time I posted this clip the morning of a Game 7, John Tavares scored in overtime. Let's do that again. 

Last night, Mini-JT Fraser Minten scored the OT winner for Saskatoon in Game 5 of their third round series.

Minten was the first and last to hit the back of the net in that game, scoring twice in the win.

Back in the NHL, coaching trades?

> Per my tweet the other day, [@penguins](https://twitter.com/penguins?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have relieved Associate Coach Reirden , curious to see what other potential changes happen with their staff. Tho they haven’t granted permission for teams re H.C Sullivan, if they mutually agree for his departure it could be via trade.
