I asked Quinn Hughes about Canucks president Jim Rutherford's public declaration that Hughes "wants to play with his brother."
“I don’t know … Jim's a smart guy. Jim's doing, you know, what he wants to do. I’ve got a lot of respect for Jim, so I'll just leave it that.”

NEWS: NHL teams have asked deputy commissioner Bill Daly about the eligibility of Hockey Canada players acquitted of sexual assault.
“Not a lot of them, but some have checked in to see what the status is. Don't know if that means they have an interest [in signing them] or not."

Sidney Crosby on making the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season:
"That's still my goal. I think it's easy, when everyone's doing the pre-season rankings and Pittsburgh's at the bottom, to think, 'Oh yeah, we're just going to settle for that.' I still want to go out there and win."

Interesting to see Coupang (the U.S.-based “Amazon of South Korea") as Capitals' new jersey sponsor.
Coupang told me they see jersey ad as a way to get in front of important eyes in Washington. Coupang also has NHL streaming rights in S. Korea and could feature more Caps games.

My man here had a Calvin Pickard jersey since last season and walked into Game 5 with a goalie catcher signed by the Edmonton Oilers netminder.
Why?
“I cheer for the underdog,” he told me
