Stephane Da Costa is learning the old “cheaters never win” adage is applicable in the NHL.

After the 23-year-old centre and goalie Ben Bishop were named by coach Paul MacLean as the only “bright spots” in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to the Jets, Da Costa admitted he has a better handle on what it takes to succeed at this level than he did in the 26 games he previously played.












Would Seattle be a good city for the NHL to relocate to?
  Yes, it'd be a great market.
  Maybe, who knows.
  No, they should go to Quebec instead.
