Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm very impressed with everyone's play so far this season. Seems like the new team is meshing well and Laviolette's system is a hell of a lot more fun to watch.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hawks are just saving themselves for the playoffs. They can beat most teams without trying. In the postseason they will beat the others handily. They could probably go undefeated if they really cared to.

When's the last time a team has gone undefeated in the Stanley Cup playoffs?

Sorry Brohan, you have been replaced.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kings came close in 2012. And also, Kings are the first team in NHL history to win a Cup eliminating the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seed in order in 2012.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hawks are a lock for the Cup. Everyone else should probably just tank for picks unless they are looking for moral victories.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Man just thinking about the two Cup runs for the Kings. Such different paths they took each time loaded with exciting moments and amazing gameplay. I still can't believe last seasons run, so incredible.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So like 2014 was the complete opposite then, right? :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol see my post above.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Great minds think alike.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Guys - when the Blackhawks have Raanta as a BACKUP goalie, how can we not just give them the Cup right now??

Also, Shea Weber makes me so hard.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This morning, I see they are saying knee on Chara. How did that report last night have collarbone :lol:lol. A little different. Much better news as a fantasy owner.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fantasy sports is weird that way. Wings losing to the Habs sucked, but Price had a damn good game and got the win so....I'd have preferred good game but a loss though.
TSN still saying 4-6 weeks. If he misses the middle of that at 5 weeks, he missed 15 games. That's almost a quarter of a season without him. They have a lot of talent but that's a big chuck without him and they already have started slow. Boychuk trade looking real bad now.


Still can't get over last nights game for the Wings. They were so bad in the first and even when they were playing better after that they couldn't get the rebounds, pucks would bounce on them, they'd pass when they should shoot, all kinds of crap not working right. Was ready to turn it off and then Z scored. Then was about to turn it off when Comeau shot it at the open net but DeKeyser blocked it. The guys doing the post-game for Fox Sports Detroit said on back to back games, it's late in that second game when it catches up to you and it seemed to. Wings turned it on and momentum carried them. Second in the Atlantic. Had they won like they should have on Tuesday, they'd be #1 but I'll take the 2 points I thought they wouldn't get.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

wow, glad i stayed up for that game last night.
didn't get any pizza.

almost burned my neighborhood down when the sharks went up 4-3 and when they called Johansens would-be hat trick game winner a no goal but they got it done. big road win.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just watched the highlights, that should have been a goal. Foligno was in there but was trying to get out and was unable to. Most of the contact Niemi had to deal with was his own guys.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yep i agree, i don't even think the ref called Toronto to review, they just huddled up.

maybe that play isn't video reviewable.

in other news, Johansen is a superstar. Maybe Overhardt had a point.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

penguins penguined hard last night

Bruins done.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

i picked chara for my fantasy team

thanks bruins

Re: The NHL Thread
 

time for a new hat?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I don't think it is reviewable. That's a little more subjective. While it can be infuriating, I understand the argument about not making that reviewable because it would open the door for reviewing penalties and things like that.

I don't switch teams when things look bad. That's your game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

To be fair he liked the Jackets when they were shit too.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

ya agree, just sucks to get a call wrong like that in that part of the game.
at least they came right back and scored again.

the sharks D/goaltending situation is in rough shape.

:lol you're a fascinating human, don't ever change.

ya the two teams i root the hardest for are the jackets and bills, big time band wagoner :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I realized last night that it's going to be frustrating watching Brad Richards all year.

Pretty sure you were a Sabres fan. I'm just not sure you should be making jokes about other people ditching their teams.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not doing too good?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol i love how serious this is for you.
i've explained the sabres thing before.

it wasn't even a joke about ditching teams, it was a joke about buying a new hat. if your labia wasn't hanging half way down your hamstring this morning it might not have bothered you so much.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

1 point through 6 games, down to 3rd line Center. Old and slow. He's basically Handzus without the terrible hair.
I have hopes that it gets better over time, once he gets used to the new system and all.
