17 seconds, twice. Must feel like Tuukka Rask squared. ;) :r

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

It was tough to watch.... Like 20 days until playoff hockey.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Jump our bandwagon, E.J., we're runnin' hot. :D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Also tough to watch.......the Minnesota Wild. What a dumpster fire......just another epic meltdown by a MN sports team.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Well ... let me start by saying I have been watching hockey on tv for 50 years .

Crosby tonight scored (what I think ) the best all time ... and any hockey fan has to put it in their top 10 ever .

Not a big Crosby fan ... but losing a couple teeth and still playing ... bonus respect points .

It was a nice goal, Derrek, but I'm not putting it on my Top 10 list. :)

Pete, playoffs can be a whole new season, you never know. ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

For those that want to see what Derrek is talking about....

I know I am biased, but I can think of goals by Kane, Panik and Hayden that were better within the last month. :2

Tom

I get to watch Mcdavid every night and through the 80's Gretzky every night ... never seen this done before .

If you are left handed ... hold stick in right hand only and raise the puck off the ice ... better yet two guys trying to climb onto you and roof the puck past the goalie .

No Blackhawk or any other hockey player has ever done it that I can remember .

But I digress ... as long as you are a hockey fan ... every thing is alright .

I have to say that was almost like a trick shot goal, don't mean that in a bad way, but he knew what he was doing popping it up and punching it in.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Looked at some more views of the Crosby goal, and it is pretty amazing Derrek. :tu Didn't say the Hawks did that, juts said they had some goals that I thought were pretty impressive.

Than he turns into the slashing machine. :lr

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

First slashed a guy in the eggs on Tuesday, then actually takes part of a finger off Methot last night.

If the tables were turned and Methot broke Sid's finger, Methot would be suspended for 10 games. :2

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Slash #2 was worse, first I wasn't so sure it wasn't dive.

As far as the goal.... I keep thinking if I could even pop that puck up, not sure I could slide it in, to roof that empty net is nice. Roof it against an NHL tendy, that's special.

Added bonus, Avs are just letting cats score at will in the 3rd.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

^^^ I'll add, no Crosby or Pens fan.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Adam, I'll say it for you "RASK!!!:na"


Oh how I love playoff hockey. Added bonus, got 1.5 hours on the ice this afternoon and another 1.5 tomorrow(son will be out tomorrow)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Holy smokes, don't know what happened there(still 6:22 to go) with the 'Hawks and Preds, but my daughter is going to be difficult to live with for 24 hours(I wouldn't want to be around Tom tonight).

That said, the ups the past few years makes this easier IMO. BUT I'm an Avs fan.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Agreed, E.J.... Hawks still have the most Cups in the 21st Century.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

....and the disappointment for the 2016-17 for the Colorado Avalanche just continues unabated.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I thought every team had the same number of players.
