What a great game to be at!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Do your best during the anthem!

Versteeg!! Fitting to get his first goal as a King against the Hawks!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well, that is not the ideal start.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lucic!!Kings rolling.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Is it always this quiet at the UC? Even before both goals it was dead

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Versteeg with 2 points in 18 seconds. God damnit.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This game is about as fun as a poopy flavored lollipop.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

All the new boys are scoring tonight.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If this game were a noise, it would be a long, wet fart.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just got home from work, missed the 3rd. This game did not turn out how I thought it would, I am pleasantly surprised.

Bonus that Dustin finally got one in.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's what she said.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Dustin never misses. He has like 14kids doesn't he?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

An all-Florida first round matchup would be cool

Re: The NHL Thread
 

as long as we don't have to face Tyler Johnson

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Unbelievable how solidly we got crushed at home. They capitalized on every opportunity, exploited every mistake, played a rock solid game and Quick played the game of his life. Nowhere to go but up from here.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Interested to see Mantha's debut for the Wings. They are being smart and not playing him on the 4th line like so many teams tend to do with skilled players they call up. Let him play with the skilled guys and get minutes the way he is used to in the AHL. You can't put a skilled guy in for 8 minutes and then wonder why he doesn't produce. He'll be with Datsyuk and Tatar tonight and get PP time.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun:
"Goalie equipment update was given to GMs today. Sense is it's full steam ahead with streamlined goalie equipment. NHLPA and NHL on same page"

Now this won't solve the issue on offense, but this is much needed. Two guys that I compare from different times are Felix Potiv and Corey Crawford. They are roughly the same size physically but put Potiv in pads from 1994 next to Crawford in pads today...Crawford looks at least twice as big.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hey Tim. Shut up.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flyers have won 10 straight against the Wings in Philly going back to June 3rd 1997. Wonder what was significant about that game....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Blah. 19 years ago now. Ancient history. Not like you won any more Cups since that one........

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And all the ones the Flyers have won since then too right? :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Doesn't matter what happens to either of your teams whichever gets the 8 spot will just get smoked by my Caps anyway

Re: The NHL Thread
 

#41






years since the flyers won a cup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I wish the game wasn't on NBCSN tonight so that it would start at 7. Just want it to start earlier.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yup, i hate the late starts

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Even worse on Wednesdays when they don't start till 8. So dumb

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yep, you're gonna see guys like Crawford be a LOT less effective when they start to slim pads. It's way overdue. Those guys are way too fucking big in those things.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Didn't Corey Crawford publicly say he was in favor of shrinking the pads? Maybe it was Corey Schneider

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Average age of the 6 defenseman the Hurricanes have iced tonight: 21

No excuses for the Caps tonight. Time to snap out of the funk. This should be a cakewalk, even if Carolina is desperate
