The potential pain continues, even after our season is over:

Nico Hischier left Switzerland’s game today against Germany after this “tangle of bodies” and did not return.

Seems like a harmless play but we’ll have to wait to see the prognosis. The Swiss went on to beat the Germans 5-1 and are in 1st place. #NJDevils pic.twitter.com/YK5y4ik13e

“I don’t think it’s likely, per se, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Dougie (Hamilton is) shipped out this summer. Let’s take a closer look at why, as well as some of the pros and cons of going down that road.” [Infernal Access ($)]

“On the surface, (Ondřej Palát’s) 2024-25 wasn’t terrible. He finished with 15 goals and 28 points, respectable numbers, but it’s certainly not worth his $6 million cap hit. And judging by his underlying metrics, his play will only decline further from here on out.” [Devils on the Rush]

On walking the line in the playoffs: “So, how do you find that ever-moving, ever-blurring line between what you can get away with and what you can’t? When one power play can decide a game — a series, even — how do you bend the rules and push the limits of legality without getting caught? And how do you hold the line if you’re an official?” [The Athletic ($)]
