Didn't hear the comments. I was surprised he got the start, but didn't assume he'd sit another start.

11-1....wow....unbelievable...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Ray Emery. Wow.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Yeah...wow.

Frustrated as much as the fan base.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

He should be frustrated....embarrassed? Allowed 4 goals on 15 shots, which isn't much worse than his early season average of .846...not even cracking the top 38 in the league...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Emery got the third star how embarrassing is that?
I heard there was no rule in place to suspend him..just watch Shanahan makes one up as he goes along.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Off the scale....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Really wish the nhl would have the stones to say when a ref blows a call. We have had no call on hits that were later ruled suspensions. Majors assessed on clean hits and gems like the waved off goal in last nights sharks sabers game. Intent to blow whistle my as $

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Toronto blew that, Mike, not the refs. :2

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I still put blame on the ref for not taking the time to review the play. In a situation like that with a scramble and player alleging it went in why not take a look.

Just wstching NHL tonight bad look with the fan ripping the helmet of Pardys head and the lady pouring her wine on him. Dude looked lit, but thats worthy of a fan ban.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Now that was the Avs I was expecting.... Porous defense, looking lost often, bursts of "wow" but a lot of..."what?" I missed the last 30 minutes(had a hockey game to go watch), but it looks like it mirrored the first 30....

That okay.....what a great start! GO AVS!

Erik Johnson was assessed a 10-minute misconduct at the end of the second period for handing his broken stick to a fan in the stands....really...:confused::td

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Mike, I watched the game and didn't see any Sharks protesting...maybe I missed that?

The helmet rip was crazy, back in the 80's the Jets would have gone into the stands and beat that guy to a pulp.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Jiggy 5-0, Avs 13-2....good God, SWEET!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

This season's Ray Emery? (wins, not fights). :r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Looking good :noon

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Oilers signed goaltender Ilya "Universe" Bryzgalov to a 1 year deal.

Yeah, that's the answer. :rolleyes: :lr

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Oilers shut out for their 3rd consecutive home game, first time in franchise history, Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle, Gagner, Yakupov, and they can't score in 3 games. Derrek must be pulling his hair out. :hn

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

After watching Backstrom, Granlund and Pominville take shots to the head from numerous Leafs, they are now up in my top two dirtiest teams in the league. Thank god we beat them tonight or I would have been really pissed.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

all I can console myself with is ... maybe they will get all the old oilers fired and we can move on from there .

get rid of lowe huddy acton smith mactavish ... things would only go uphill from there...cant go down .

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Trainwreck of an Avs game...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hawks win another shootout, and (re)pick up Kris Versteeg. Hoping coming back to Chicago will bring him back to his 2010 form.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Horrible game, hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come :sh

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Awesome pick up and agreed hopefully he will return to his old form

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hawks put Handzus on long term IR and sent Morin back to the Icehogs, looks like Kris will be in the line-up tomorrow. :)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Headed down to the United Center for the Hawsk-Sharks game tomorrow, wanted to go to this one as both teams have looked great early. Hopefully the Hawks rebound from their worst game of the season today in Bumpkintwon.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Avs lost their third in a row, I have a feeling this is going to be a roller coaster ride this season :confused:

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Had a great time at the Hawks game. I've watched most of the Sharks games this season, so I know how dangerous they are, but tonight was the Hawks' night.

Actually though Couture was going to have a monster night after his first couple shifts, but hardly noticed him after that. Got to see the speed of Hertl and Wingels in person, but they didn't dent the scoresheet either.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Just got home, Avs up big.... Wish I would have DVR'd this....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Wish I hadn't, E.J. :lr :hn

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Big win again for Avs tonight... Took OT after giving up lead in 3rd, then tying up after going down... Long and short, win better than loss...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

4 points for Captain Serious, Hawks back in the win column.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Looks like Avs are skating 4 on 5 all the 1st... Not often I've just watched the look out skated, but the Kings are flying around.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Totally flipped 2nd? Avs need to get on the board! Have to kill another +/- 3 minutes of PK to start the 3rd!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Unbelievable...big win! Now beat the Blues on Wed!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I will be an Avs fan on Wednesday, hate me some Blues.

2 goals in 9 seconds in the 3rd gave the Hawks a comeback win....Crawford was huge.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

A lot of times, when a team is struggling, the team will look to the captain to spark something, sometimes with a fight. For the Flyers the spark may have come not from Giroux, but from Emery's fight that seemed so egregious at the time. Since that fight, the Flyers have gone 7-1-1 to get themselves back to .500.

There's hope in this season yet!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Flyers turnaround has been a good one, Joel, and since they are in the East, they still are in the hunt! :r

P.S.....I am a big fan of Emery, despite the trend to bash him right now.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hawks down 2-0 halfway through the 3rd, score 2 goals in 56 seconds to tie it....then Kane pots a spin-o-rama, his second goal of the game, with 18 seconds left for the win, to keep the Hawks in 1st place in the NHL for tonight.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Does the Blues have the Avs number or what :confused:

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Ok I guess I'll chime in and get yelled at. If Subban doesn't make the Canadian olympic team, I'll have to kick Yzerman where it counts :gary

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

as long as they pick the best of the talent available(subban or not) ... not like world juniors were subban(other subban) was pre selected months ahead of time to be the #1 goalie ... the best goalie in camp was sent back to Edmonton (after a great camp) .

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Team Canada .... notice "Team" in the title. Not sure P.K. always gets it just yet. Loads of talent and upside, still a bit of growing up to do perhaps? Sort of like Patrick Kane a few years back.

And Stevie Y. has balls of steel. ;)

Bryz gets a shutout in his first start for the Oilers.....could the playoffs be far behind, Derrek? :)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Blackhawks moved to 5-1 in their 7 game road trip, winning an 11 round shootout against Dallas. Corey and Kari were both stellar in the shootout, Corey was just "one louder....he went to 11".

Early in the season, Hawks would dominate early, then hang on to win. Now it seems to be the reverse. They have won 5 in a row, but have been behind going into the 3rd period in 4 of the 5, finding a way to come back and win in each. Once they start playing 60 minutes consistently, they are gonna be really dangerous.....but I'll settle for 1st in the NHL right now. :)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

LOLIslanders...

Finding new and incredible ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

This team rapes my soul!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hawks finish their annual "Circus" road trip 6-1 with 6 straight wins. They are off to their second best start in team history, bested only by last year's NHL record start.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

3 of the top 4 teams in ESPN's power ranking are from the Central. Hawks #1, Blues #3, Avs #4. Best division in hockey. :tu

Sharks are #2, Mike....and they look good with Burns back in the lineup.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

What the heck does ESPN know about hockey :r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

True Dat....they actually think the Hawks won the Cup in Jine! :lr

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

The Isle's completely baffle me anymore. I was a fan years ago when Indy had a farm team for them and they actually played hockey and won on a regular basis. But damn I almost think they would do better in a men's figure skating team event now!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

ESPN knows almost as much about hockey as the NHL knows about baseball.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Right! I mean, they have the Avs all the way up at #4.....I mean, c'mon, right??

:r
