Shut up and get to the hockey already LA.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looks like the Sharks finally came to play in the playof.....

Oh wait.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol:lol yeah that was dumb.

Did you guys see me in TV? I was literally right at the banner.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Good call dude.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

i looked for you, but did not.

the lighting in that arena blows

super dark on tv

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They just put in these bright ass LED lights. Definitely makes the crowd look darker. Have me a headache the first preseason game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

4-0 you leaving yet?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Quick back to his stellar self. :lol:lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Loller Kings??

But really, what is with banner nights?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I really should. I can't eat the food and I can't drink the beer. It's fun catching up with everyone though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

When will Quick learn how and when to play the puck?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fluery must've taught him

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sharks!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Always nice to see the Leafs lose. The real season starts for me tonight. :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Defending champions of the east get it started tonight!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

> 8 hours til puck drop

got my marty straka sweater on today

I understand why it's there cause teams would try to get around the cap, but this clearly isn't that. Because of that rule, he could die, and still count against the cap.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

B's looked very good in the first period. Soderberg is going to be a beast this year, best player on the ice yesterday for the Bs. good to see Kelly get a goal. he's been battling injuries the last couple years and a lot of people think he's useless (especially at that cap number). I was saying i'd rather see him go than Boychuck, but it was good to see that last night. Dougie had a really bad game though..just looked lost

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Excited for tonight. The healthiest the Wings have been in over a year, and that's with Datsyuk not playing. A tough first game for the Wings, but you might as well get going out of the gate.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

not a fan of the b's having to play 7 games in 12 days and start on a back to back. good for the fans, but i imagine it's gotta be tough on the players

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Stuff going on at the Garden? Better to have it now and the rest later though I'd think.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Expected the loss last night. Flyers played pretty well for the most part I thought. Mason was really good. Lost on a fluky-ish goal. Not upset in the least. Will be very upset if they don't come out hard again tonight though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Got the beers in the fridge and the steaks marinating. Best day of the year

Re: The NHL Thread
 

will be 30,000 ft in the clouds heading up to Boston during the rangers game
wicked bummed.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

get back to me when you start the season on a massive road trip like the rangers did last year
:lol

Just ordered center ice this morning. It's free for a couple weeks right now though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

for the people that pay for center ice, is it REALLY worth it?

my thinking is that i would have to be watching east coast and west coast games pretty much 7 days a week to make it worth it

i've never ordered it so i'm just wondering

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Only reason I'd order it would be if I moved out of the Caps broadcast area. I know people out west who bought it, thought they would watch every NHL game ever, less than two weeks in it was reduced to only Caps games. I'm sure the idea of following the NHL that closely is appealing to some, but I barely have time to watch all 82 games for my team, much less anyone else's. Just my opinion though

That said if I ever do move I will order it in a heartbeat

Re: The NHL Thread
 

oh yea, moving out of your home market is a game changer

i just mean from a following the league perspective, seems expensive unless you watch like a dozen games every week at least

I did some rough math yesterday. Subtracting the Bruins games that I would see anyways through national broadcasts I believe I'm paying around 2 bucks a game for each Bruins game. Which is worth it to me. Throw in being able to watch any other game I want and it is not a bad deal at all.
