So you want Hitchcock to go?

I don't, but I'm hearing it's probable he won't be back (not really sure how I feel about that, probably depends on who gets hired if he goes). I'm more thinking a roster shakeup. I think Oshie's probably going to be on the trade block. Some of the other older guys will probably be available at the right price.

I don't know if Oshie or Backes are doing much for you.

Backes is still pretty elite defensively and has a NTC so he probably isn't going anywhere. I expect his role to be scaled back significantly next year though, probably serving as the 3rd line center depending on who the coach is.

Oshie is still a very good player, but has been almost invisible in the playoffs (1g, 1a this year) and I would be shocked if he's wearing the blue note next season.

Jackman is a UFA and if he's back next year hopefully it's nothing more than a 7th Defenseman.

Keep your rough ridin' skates on the ice, bro

Meant to do this yesterday, but here it is:

Joda tells the uninformed who to cheer for in round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs

1. Minnesota vs Chicago- Minnesota all day, every day. Chicago can die in a giant ice fire. If Crawford is in goal cheer for them to lose 10-0 every night. If Darling is in goal cheer for them to lose 1-0, preferably with with Keith or Seabrook scoring an own goal off their fat faces.

2. Tampa Bay vs. Montreal- TB. Easy. Not only is Montreal the "Canadiens"

, they're French Canadiens

.

3. Anaheim vs Calgary- Flames, the only Canadien team to cheer for. If the Ducks where still the Mighty Ducks they might be cool, but they're not.

4. Washington vs NY Rangers- eh, do what you want. I don't hate these Rangers and I don't really care for Washington. Ovi is really good though and he's pretty good at trolling on the ice so

What's St. Louis doing this week?

spot on although I'd want Kane or Shaw (what a stupid rough ridin' mouthbreathing face this idiot has) scoring into their own net
