Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is a very Ovechkin thing.

So, uhh, the Pens. Not looking good at all, so far. I'm not worried, yet, but it'd be nice to win a game before November.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

it's the kessel curse.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kessel is the only person playing well right now

Crosby stinks

Re: The NHL Thread
 

and malkin hasn't scored a goal in the past 18 games or so, right?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yup

this team is a shell of themselves

Johnston might be fired before Thanksgiving if this continues

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It's so great to see the Pennsylvania teams sucking so hard

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol says the guy whose captain doesn't show up for morning skates :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I guess my team did pretty much get roasted last night too :lol

Think it through, barbs

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol the Metro not living up to the hype as of yet

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So of the winless teams, who is most in trouble? Pens, Kings, Bruins or Jackets? The other winless teams you kinda expected to not be good.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just got to Denver and taking the kiddos to their first Avs game. I'm going to try to put together an arranged marriage between my daughter (6) and The Gabe. As long as he's willing to wait about 15 years, I think we've got a shot.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

out of those 4? definitely the Bruins, they don't have much going for them

at least the other 3 teams have a bunch or talent, playoff experience, or both

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Awesome man, enjoy! I can't wait to take my daughter to a game. Good luck with The Gabe.

And yeah I agree with h2p, Bruins are bad with no hope. Though were the really expecting to be better?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'd agree with Bruins. Jackets I'd be worried cause they can't start off bad again and hope for a late surge. You can't keep doing that. Kings, not sure what happened to them but they do have talent if they can get out of this funk. Pens...I think they'll be ok but they are like the Kings where the struggles make me scratch my balding head.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings might get DeKeyser and Helm back this weekend. This depth thing is fun.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Jackets :lol:lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's awesome. Enjoy. Hope you get a win.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol Jackets :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sucks not being able to laugh at other teams.

Ah, fuck it.

:lol #jacketsin0

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Love what I'm seeing out of the Flyers defense, and it's been years since I've been able to say that. Offense needs some work but Hexy seems to be moving this team in the right direction.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Getting shut out by the Flyers is annoying

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Excellent......

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow so the Flyers were chanting "she said no" at Kane tonight? I love and hate it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

How we roll. Not how I would roll. But is anyone surprised?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not even a little.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm demanding the Avs reimburse me for my travel expenses.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Listen, fuck the legal system. Kane hasn't grown up an inch since he arrived in the NHL. Whether it was consensual or not, doesn't matter when it comes to the public eye. I say go fr it, in terms of the chant.

Also....SECOND PLACE IN THE METRO

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You are a sick SOB, but I love it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So when does Todd Richards get fired? They had pretty high expectations going in, you can't let this continue.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Vezina is Mike Smith's to lose. :lol

And that Yandle trade looking better and better right about now. Duclair already picked up this morning in my fantasy league, lol.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

enjoy it while you can.

That Kane chant is funny, though I'm not sure I am supposed to find that funny. Obviously, the case isn't funny in 1 bit.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Coyotes are the biggest surprise. Dylan Strome isn't even there yet. This team could be real good in a few years.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well, hockey has to wAit at least another week. How about dem Jays?!?!

Oh, and pretty sure the Oilers haven't won a game yet. Hurray!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Go Oilers! A team with 23 #1 overall picks and...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kane chats: https://twitter.com/kyle_phillippi/s...69707114881025

Also I'm so proud of Kyle for getting Twitter famous. I remember showing him around college when be was a senior in HS. Another fine Rowan journalism product.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Eh, I am not worried about it at all. Yandle is still very good and Oscar Lindberg is the real deal as well. You can't have it all in this league. I still think we are a legit cup contender. Now, if Dunclair scores the game winner against the Rangers in the SCF....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You're right, it's not funny. But let's be honest, unless something drastic happens, he's gonna get off pretty easy.

I say shame him for what's it worth. Maybe it forces him to re-evaluate his life decisions.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, I was pretty surprised myself. Truth be told that goalie of yours is a gem. holy shit did he have the Hawks number last night. Hate to see this but Chicago deserved to loose last night, they had plenty of chances but did not get a single goal. They just could not find the back of the net for shit, it was like the Hawks were playing in slow motion. Frustrating to watch.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's all last night was, an awesome display of shaming.

I know it's been four games but I'm happy with how they have played minus the 7-1 drubbing to Florida.

It's interesting that there is half a dozen talented prospect in juniors and Lehigh still.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

well played :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Franzen placed on short term IR with "head issues." It's time to hang em up buddy, well at least unofficially so they can get the cap relief. It sucks but health for the rest of his life is important.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The chant is funny. So great. The circumstances are not.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well I guess it was dumb to expect otherwise but the oilers are still miserable. Says a lot when an RNH back-check is one of the game highlights.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I would have thought with a good coach and another year under their belt they would have been a little better, and there still is time. Guess McDavid wasn't the cure all.

There is not 1 team in the Metro with a positive goal differential.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

woohoo 2 points!! almost forgot what that feels like

also, congrats to Daniel Sprong on his first career goal...many more to come i hope

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Price has helped me in fantasy to far going 4-0 but he needs to lose tomorrow. He can play well...just needs to lose.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Terrific effort from the Caps last night. Total 180 from Tuesday night.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Holtby's season wasn't a fluke last year and the guy is the real deal. He's been great in all 3 games so far, even the blowout loss to the Sharks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Dropped McDavid for Domi if anyone wants to pick him up.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm so fucking happy the Cubs keep winning, because now Hawks ticket prices are SUPER reasonable for the first time in like 5 years.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thank you, Sarah. I'll never have to worry about losing McDavid for the next twenty years.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Your debt to me just keeps growing!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

For the keepers next season, do we have to pick one center, one RW, one LW, and so forth?

Or is a set number of forwards, D-men, and goalies?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

5 Keepers: Max of 2 forwards, 2 d-men, 1 goalie

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Great! McDavid and Eichel locked forever!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

How bad is your current team where you know you'll be hanging on to guys who haven't done anything in the league yet?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Jackets losing to Toronto! Richards done soon.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It's not bad at all.

I have Tavares, Perry, Voracek, and Saad.

Drafted Eichel.

Just picked up Duclair, Barkov, and Hemsky.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looks like Roy's flip out worked. When the Avs are trying, they are as dynamic and exciting as any team in the league.

Landeskog is playing like a superstar right now. He's being used in every situation and doesn't ever look out of place. Especially with MacKinnon, who he's paired with on 4 on 4 and the PK. When your best players can also play the PK, that's a good thing.

Also, For those interested, Skille has been everything the Avs have hoped for and more. Not a star, but the perfect high energy, hard skating, bottom 6 guy. And he's also putting points up. Astute signing by the Avs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh and I love Zadorov's potential and early efforts. If he keeps this upward momentum, the Avs will have new generation Rob Blake. Even in the Boston game, he was the least sucky of the Avs defense.

Thanks, ROR!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

A win!!! A win!!! Awesome 3-on-3 too!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings need to be better tonight if they don't want to lose two in a row. Helm and DeKeyser back tonight so that could help.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Larkin has done it again. Wow. At least a point in all 5 games.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Evgeny Kuznetsov is out-freaking-standing

Many Caps are right now, but that guy's a madman

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Really surprises me that 6-0 is a record start for Montreal. For how old the franchise is/how many Cups they've won.

Also scares me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yeah, Carey Price is evidently the real freakin' deal.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Mcdavid played some hockey last night, good to,

Re: The NHL Thread
 

after watching the 3v3 for the first time last night -- not a fan.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

said no one ever.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I seriously don't like it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Huh? When did Duncan Keith get hurt?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Goooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddd damnit

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I refuse to believe it. Duncan Keith doesn't get hurt.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

can't pinpoint who I dislike more, the caps or canadiens.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Even airplanes and robots need to go down for routine maintenance every once and a while...this is probably just that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Habs. Always the Habs. Fuck them and their pretentiousness.

The Craps are just the obnoxious perennial loser. The hate of them is mostly just fun.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

having lived in DC for 7 years (and still being close now), my hate my sway to the Caps more. Especially when you factor in the recent playoffs.
As a whole though, you're right.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I could see that. They're goal horn is arguably the worst in the NHL, too.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not sure I remember Keith getting hurt...

Not good for a team already struggling with D.

Might as well get down Becca, you've hit rock bottom already.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

No way. The siren is and has always been dope.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Siren sucks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Going to the Bs/Flyers tomorrow. Should be a great time :thumbsup

The Canadiens.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I wish we could play the Blue Jackets more.

4 straights wins since the opening series vs. the Hawks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fucking Habs 7-0

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What more surprising: Habs 7-0 or Jackets 0-7? Again...Jackets need to stop doing this shit of starting off crappy.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Evgeny Kuznetsov. Can't stress it enough. Dude is lights out good right now. You guys should see his pass from last night. Holy smokes.

Re: The NHL Thread

HAHAHAHA Richards fired (not surprised) Torts hired (that's my laughing)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Torts!!!!!! :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

the head coaches of Becca's 2 favorite sports teams

John Tortorella
Rex Ryan

RIP Becca.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

someone pull this chair out from under me

Re: The NHL Thread

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Vancouver gets a 2nd rounder because they fired Torts.

Unbelievable.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

same thing happened with the Penguins and Bylsma when he went to Buffalo IIRC

Re: The NHL Thread
 

are the McDavid sweepstakes officially over?
