Interesting nugget coming out of today’s NHL GMs Meeting: A couple managers mentioned that the league has signed on to do a behind-the-scenes series with Amazon that will center around 10-12 star players.
It’s due for a fall release.

The second features some of the world’s best golfers, and each episode is devoted to a special moment during the PGA (or LIV Golf) season.
It’s different, because you see things you don’t necessarily see on TV… And in general, it helps to increase the popularity of each sport, because series like these give a lot of exposure.
I mention Quarterback and Full Swing because today, on the sidelines of the CEO meeting, we learned that the NHL has signed a partnership with Amazon to produce a new series featuring 10 to 12 of the league’s star players.
Honestly, it’s about time the NHL came clean.
We’ve been saying for a long time that the league needs to find a way to promote its best players…
And that’s exactly what the new, as-yet-unnamed series will do.
A little bird tells me that David Pastrnak will be one of the players followed, because we know how much of a buffoon he is in everyday life…
Could Cole Caufield, who’s always recognizable because of his huge smile, be one of the participants too?
That would please a lot of fans in Montreal…
I’m also looking forward to seeing how much we can learn about the players’ lives. Sure, the cameras won’t be following the guys 24/7, but still.
In gusts
– Well deserved.

– I don’t like the rule.
Friedman on 32TP says earlier this year a player laid a big hit on another player, got a major, and the player receiving the hit was cut through their visor. There has been a conversation that if a player takes a hit and their visor cuts them, should that be an automatic major?

Friedman on 32TP says the Rangers went after Max Pacioretty but Pacioretty wanted to stay in Washington, so they pivoted and went for Roslovic who has proven to be a good fit.
