Re: The NHL Thread
really not looking forward to watching the Bs lose 2-1 or 1-0 tonight.
still bitter about the boychuck trade. i don't think i can remember a time when a GM came out and said what chiarelli did whenhe said the bruins weren't a better team after making the trade. i get they wanted to dump salary and probably wouldn't be able to resign him at the end of the season, but the B's are built to win. gotta hold on to him take your chances. that being said...defense hasn't been the issue for the bruins. they thought they could fill the 30 goal void left by iggy with 2-3 10 goal scorers. |
Re: The NHL Thread
I'm guessing that's the score tonight. Wings having their own issues putting the puck in the net.

Re: The NHL Thread
Leafs are starting to pick up their play Tim. They dominated the play last night against Colorado. Should be a good couple of games here on Friday and Saturday.

Re: The NHL Thread
Hey all. Been busy. Haven't seen much from around the league yet other than Flyers so I don't want to comment on other teams.
As for the Flyers, pretty typical start. I know I said to myself (and maybe in here a bunch of pages back) that they would be lucky to win 1-2 games in October. And not necessarily because they're a "bad" team. Because I don't think they are. They're just playing teams that are all in the top 15 of the NHL, save one or two. If the Flyers would have played a full 60 in any of their games, they're probably 3-1. 0-2-2 is about right for the effort they've put in so far. Still statistically the worst team ever in the shootout. That continued last night. I think they've lost their last 8 or so when it goes to the skills comp. Thought they were going to get blown out last night, so it was actually nice to see them mount a comeback, similar to what Montreal did to the Flyers on Saturday. Oh well. It is what it is. They certainly weren't/aren't a Cup contender coming in anyway, just would have liked to see a W in there by now. MacDonald and Streit signings are terrible in length but were necessary with the young guys not ready yet. And if the Richards/Carter trades are still a discussion topic, I'm not sure why... All of the stuff the Flyers got in return have been solid and have put up more offensively and defensively than what those two have done. Are Cartsy and Richie more leaders in the room? Who knows? Does it suck as a Flyers fan that they've won a couple of Cups as pieces to a well developed team with a bonafide starting tender? Sure. But it doesn't mean Homer made the wrong move there. Homer's problem was hanging on to old guys and giving 100 year contracts. |

PS - You guys, Brock Nelson has scored more goals this year than the Avalanche. PPS - How did we not talk about John Scott purposefully scoring an actual goal last night? http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/jo...this-is-weird/ Underrated signing of the summer? |

Not surprised by this after the setback in September. Too bad cause I think he would fit in nicely on the 3rd line and on the PP. Also too bad there were so many injuries last season that the team was never able to be as good as they'd hoped. |

Kulemin has been impressive so far and it is all the little things and things that do not appear on a scoresheet that impress me. |
Re: The NHL Thread
Agree with what Roose and Lads said but was giving Zilla the benefit of the doubt and hoping he wasn't rehashing the trade of Richards and Carter.

Re: The NHL Thread
Jake Muzzin, the CORSI God, has re-signed with the Kings for 5 years, $20 mil. Kings gonna be good for a long time. They got guys signing cap friendly deals to keep their core together.

It really is, on every level. Excitement to watch (and play, but a lot more watch) is unparalleled, almost every player on every level of play has a good head on their shoulders, and it's the only pro league that really hasn't had an issue other than the lockout in the last 20 years. Isolated incidents like that fuck who cold clocked the av player a decade ago are isolated, and the game has realy even cleaned up since then. Stuff like when the avs won the capt. Have the cup to Roy as it was his cup, really. There's always a team atmosphere present. Best sport. |

Watching CHI/CAL. Love hockey with all my little heart.

Re: The NHL Thread
OMG Flames were out-shot 50-18 and beat Hawks 2-1. Amazing.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Wings got the point they should have gotten the other night. Didn't play well last night. Howard saved the point late in the third.. Wow. Also wow to Nyquist. Keep it going kid. I also think Weiss might need to get his shot now. They need to find some offense.

Re: The NHL Thread
I'll be back if the Oilers ever figure out how to win a game.

The Oilers (d, and 'tending) stink, I don't think there is anything more to it than that. Time to trade Yak and/or Nuge for some help on the backend. Maybe they can get Brodeur to sign :lol |

It's interesting right now to compare the Oilers and Flames, both because they are in a period of transition and because of their proximity and natural rivalry. The Oilers do indeed have the star power. But the Flames are disciplined, work as hard as any team in the league, and look to have a hot goalie. We're definitely seeing what matters more. I'm with you on the trade stuff. Like we've talked about before, it would be hard to trade someone like RNH, but he's honestly what's going to give the biggest return right now. Yakupov is totally someone they'd RATHER trade, but no chance they get for him what they could get for RNH. Going with Scrivens and Fasth is the classic short-sighted approach we've been seeing from the Oilers for a couple years now. Two goalies who, yes, had moments of greatness last year, but are nowhere near battle-tested. |

Good God, if that was actually true I would hate Jeff Carter even more.
