Panarin confirms Marchand said something about Russia, and that's a no-no. Said he's out $5K, but he thanks the Rangers for paying him $11.6 million per year. He can afford it.

Just talked to Ryan Reaves after the Wild’s morning skate. He clarified he did not ask for a trade. Said when he wasn’t playing, he asked where he stood, found out a trade was in the works, and then asked for them to finish the deal. He’s happy in Minny, where he feels wanted.

Panarin was asked if he heard the Columbus fans booing him. "Not really,'' he said. "When I came the first time, they were louder. They start getting lazy now.''
Columbus fans booing Panarin seems almost half-hearted, compared to what the Flames fans did when Adam Fox touched the puck last Saturday. I mean, you almost can't even hear them.

Kakko says he's never been scratched before, at any level. He said that won't affect his decision regarding whether he wants to come back. Says, if anything, it will give him motivation to work harder in the summer.

captain Jacob Trouba got fined $5,000 late last night for a high stick on Trent Frederic. There was no penalty call, and no one seemed to notice at the time. Asking for a 25 game suspension seems a little... um, much.
Jacob Trouba should have been suspended a minimum of 25 games for his slash to the head of Trent Frederic, yet he received a $5,000 fine, the maximum allowable under the CBA. George (The Violent Gentleman) Parros is incompetent. As are his cabal of henchmen at

Still learning systems? Laviolette didn't want to hear it.
"Backchecking is a universal language. There's no system involved there. Finishing your checks... competing for pucks is a universal language. Execution has to be a universal language. And so there's no excuses for that."

So, the period ends, and Wilson leaves the penalty box to go to the locker room, and he's yelling at the ref. I mean, he literally attacked a guy after the play was long dead. What on earth could he be mad at the ref for?
And the Rangers score on the power play. Trocheck. And then Tom Wilson loses his mind and attacks Fox. Literally grabs him as Fox is going to join the celebration, and assaults him. Wilson gets a roughing penalty.
