Area man covets more Hughes brothers.

The part where he starts joking about tampering and the GM just laughs is... a thing.

Maybe the Canucks are serious about Tocchet, but man, there's a lot of jobs out there where he doesn't have to coach the cast of As the World Turns. 

Dubas, meanwhile goes folksy:

The Kraken have buyer's remorse:

And they're making changes in the front office too.

Other reports say Ron Francis is moving to a different role with the team. President, it seems. 

Much ado was made about Gabe Landeskog being activated off of LTIR and taking warmup with the Avs, but then he didn't play. Someone explain Chekhov's gun to the Avalanche. 

Time to catch up on other playoff series. So far: 

- Winnipeg Jets 2-0 over St. Louis Blues
- Colorado Avalanche 1-1 vs Dallas Stars (Dallas won in OT last night)
- Vegas Golden Knights 1-0 over Minnesota Wild
- Los Angeles Kings are 1-0 over the Edmonton Oilers
- Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers don't play game 1 until tonight
- Washington Capitals 1-0 over the Montréal Canadiens in overtime
- Carolina Hurricanes 1-0 over New Jersey Devils
