A good Friday to all. Another real scorcher in Denver today. Temps to hit 100. I definitely do not want to see my air conditioning bill for July and August. Let’s do some NHL notes, quotes, thoughts, flotsam and jetsam, starting with a video from the keeper of the Cup, Phil Pritchard, showing Josh Manson doing a little body surfing on his day with the Cup:

So, how about that Jonathan Huberdeau contract with the Flames? Eight years, $10.5 million per. His agent, Allan Walsh, hit a home run with that one. It’s the richest deal in Flames history (Calgary Hockey Now).
Makes you wonder what Nathan MacKinnon’s next extension with the Avalanche will look like. I’m going to go with eight years, $12 million per. So, $96 million total.

I watched “The Exorcist” for the first time ever last night. Very good, but I wasn’t too scared. My all-time top three scariest movies: 1. Jaws. 2. The Shining. 3. A very obscure movie called “When Michael Calls.”
The Detroit Red Wings hope they have landed a future NHL scoring star in Dimitri Buchelnikov.
A good response to a recent 20% off subscription sale. So, I’ll offer it here again: Want a $24.99 full-year price on a Colorado Hockey Now subscription, instead of $29.99? Use the promo code word 5off in the checkout box here to get the deal (checkout box)
Vegas: It’s clear the Vegas Golden Knights need some help on the wing.
