Other stuff

Just those two instances. I'm sure that won't cause any trouble. Also, the committee decided to leave regular season OT the way it is so forget 3-on-3 for now. [NHL.com | Puck Daddy]

With the new coach's challenge and needing your timeout to use it, time to stop begging Capuano to use his timeout, #Isles fans.

- Jimmy Fallon zinged NHL players in his superlatives bit and the Lightning zinged him right back. Fallon is probably writing a musical/spoof/reunion of a 90's TV show in response. [CBS Sports]
