This will mark 1st NHL season since 2002-03 I have no plans to cover for a media outlet. Had a blast, give or take the final 2-plus years.
Good luck to hockey scribes, especially those in @ThePHWA
Support local coverage if you have it. And let’s do that hockey.

Geno on the loss tonight: Last game, we play unbelievable against a good team like Dallas. We played 60 minutes right, no mistakes. We deserved to win. Tonight, it was like, 'We play against young team, we win easily.' Every team is really good right now. We need to focus on every game. It doesn't matter what opponent you play. Chicago, Dallas, Carolina, you need 60 minutes."
