The fuck. How did my team end up so shitty.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

A lot of Puck Daddy people not giving the Wings any shot in the Atlantic. Some have them just one spot over the Leafs. While I don't think they are cup contenders by any stretch, I think they'll be in the playoff hunt. Forwards are good and goaltending is good. That should win you enough games to be in the hunt.

Yeah, Y is certainly doing an amazing job. That is a great signing. Admittedly it helps that Kucherov will get all his money since FL has no income tax but still what they are building down there is amazing. ALso, if the tax thing was such a big motivator to athletes than the dolphins, marlins, rays and whatever NBA team is down there should be contenders every year!

Wow, you are probably looking at easily 350+ points with just Ovechkin, Tavares, Kane and Keith alone!

I didn't even mention having drouin and matthews. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I guess it pays to actually show up to the draft. God damnit.

Always next year! :lol

It's back!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hockey Day!!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I've got so much going on with work and stuff, that I really don't care. Kinda sucks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Don't be a grinch, Tim. We've waited for this day for 4 months. You included! Step up or ship out! :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

a few more hours to enjoy the Stanley Cup victory. then it's time to defend it!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I was looking forward to it but work has been crazy and it's amazing how busy your nights can be with kindergarten "homework" for the little dude, making dinner, and then the rest of the nighttime routine and try to get it all done in like an hour and a half cause he'll start to breakdown by 7:30. I've discovered, 5 year olds are not meant to be in school for a full day without a nap/rest time. Hell, my mind is constantly thinking "it it bedtime yet?"

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hockey!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Eichel down. Fucked up his ankle bad in practice.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

well that sucks

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So Eichel out tomorrow we'd assume based off that and Okposo is out tomorrow too. Good start to the year for the Sabres.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm so happy I could kiss all of you!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

But really, to be honest, this hockey season has a bit of bitterness to it for me, because of the whole Brown thing. I'm sure that'll pass throughout the season but right now I'm still angry and sad. Guess I'll focus on my other team for a bit!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hurray!

Heading to the bar with some buddies to watch the Leafs open up the season. I'm expecting a 3-2 loss for them tonight. Regardless, they should improve enough to be just outside of contention (i imagine they end up with 9-11th pick this year.)

With 6 rookies in the lineup tonight I'm excited to see some of these kids perform.

For anyone watching - Marner will be on a line with JVR and Bozak. He should, likely not tonight, but play well with the minutes he's given.

Also, keep your eye on Connor Brown. He'll get 4th line minute but this kid can come up out of nowhere. So much skill.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Why? They suck too.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow that looked bad for Eichel. Hope he's okay.

Was good to see Sid skating hard yesterday.

Geno made an odd comment when asked about it.

"Were hoping he only misses 1, maybe 0 games."

Clearly something could have been lost in translation when he said that, but it is interesting. Just hoping this is short term.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

perhaps it was just, "clearly he's hurt and is going to miss a game. i hope it's only 1, but would like it to be 0 (my bad, yo)"

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Still better that Philly is.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's debatable.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsdow
:thumbsup

Was gonna say, that's funny coming from a Flyers fan!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

We will solve this on the ice, but at the end of the day...you are still the Flyers....

Yup! LGR!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Re: The NHL Thread
 

High ankle sprain for Eichel. Google timeframe and that's usually 4-6 weeks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I had it in my brain that tonight was the home opener for the Pens, not tomorrow.

Damn.
