If you haven’t been paying attention since the NHL shut down March 11 (understandable, all things considered), the NHL’s qualifying format and schedule for the Stanley Cup playoffs requires a bit of an explanation. Here’s how it will work: 24 teams remain in contention when play restarts Aug. 1 from the hub cities of Edmonton and Toronto. Sixteen of those teams are participating in best-of-five series to qualify for the playoff bracket and also remain eligible for Phase 2 of the NHL’s draft lottery....

Laine agreed to a two-year deal, Point and Tkachuk accepted three-year pacts, Rantanen signed off on a six-year term and Connor agreed to seven years....

But the strangest has been Bruins heel Brad Marchand’s newfound desire to lick his opponents. In the wake of Friday’s Game 4, the scene of Marchand’s second such display of PDA in the first two rounds of Boston’s playoff run, the NHL served notice to players — and the Bruins heel, specifically — to keep their tongues to themselves or face consequences.
