Should be a fun game tonight at Staples.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Are you going Sarah?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hell yeah!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I specifically made sure I had tickets to this game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Caps are such a weird team. Pulled off a solid win last night against one of the best teams in the league then get annihilated by Toronto tonight. So frustrating.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Playing your backup can be a crapshoot sometimes. See the Isles on Friday. I know he only gave up 3 last night but it set the tone.

Solid win for the Islanders.

We will now enter December with no worse than a tie for the most wins in the league. Who had that in the office pool? Hopefully, Detroit wins and we will have the most wins alone and be tied for most points.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The worst part is, our backup started, then got pulled, then Holtby got pulled and Peters went back in. Terrible night for Caps goaltending. Although what night isn't I guess.

For my 5,000th post on Ants I would just like to say:

Fuck the Flyers

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Stay classy you jerk! :trap :gonnacall :monkey

How's the Mrs. feeling? :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

She's fantastic! Thanks for asking :) 26 weeks along now, serious baby bump action happening. We can feel the little one kicking all the time these days. It's awesome.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow getting close. Yeah my little guy was quite the kicker.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wish NY didn't have to play Tampa again lol. Why can't we play Philly every game?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings are 1 point out of first in the Atlantic. Old and busted. ;-)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Good deal. Get that room ready and figure out the car seat before the baby comes.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You should specifically make sure you have tickets to the one in January too.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flyers are going to win the Stanley cup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Islanders have 4 in my lifetime, though I wasn't much of a hockey fan back then so they don't mean as much. If they would have won a cup since , say, 1985 on, it would have been the greatest sports experience of my life as a fan. In fact, I remember making my communion and being very annoyed at my older brother, cousin, etc because they spent a lot of my party watching an Islanders Cup game on the tv.

I think I mentioned here before my first game was one of the famous islanders games of all time as my dad took the aforementioned brother , cousin and me to the Ken Morrow OT winning goal to end the series vs the Rangers in 1984 and keep the drive for five alive. That was the day a hockey fan was born in me.

I am actually surprised at how subdued I am with our start. We have had very good stretches of play before in recent years and I realize this is a better team with much better talent yet I haven't allowed myself to get carried away...........yet.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I have been lucky to see all my teams win in my lifetime. However, I was not really into hockey when NYR won in 94. Since 96 hockey has been my favorite sport and for many years I was so invested in the rangers that a single loss would change my mood.

If the Rangers won the cup it would the best sports experience of my life. The Red Sox come close, but I just live for hockey more!

Re: The NHL Thread

Re: The NHL Thread

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sometimes I hate pro hockey players.

Could be worse, you could be a Lumbus fan.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Jerk. :droids

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's not how you always hand the puck to the refs at men's league?

Psh. Amateur.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Giving up two shorties in less than 60 seconds? That's so Oilers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

2 shorties on the same shift reminds me of this guy. Do you recall Penguins' fans.

Vinny Lecavalier needs to shut the hell up.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

How is CBJ only 10 points out of a playoff spot?

they have won 2 out of their last 17 :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I would suggest replacing the shitty GM.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Errmmm....10 points out of the 8th spot in your conference is pretty damn far out when only ~24-25 games have been played. I don't know if being "only" 10 pts out right now is a reason to be hopeful....
