They played like garbage in front of him.

Realize just how valuable Panarin is to Kane after watching Teravainen, Dejardins, Cekac, Panik and other scrubs try to take his place the last 2 games. :hn

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Sorry guys I have not been more active here. This is the first time in many years that I have not followed hockey as close as I have in the past(got caught up in broncos fever again). I am ready for the final run and the playoffs and I will start to follow the Avs and Hawks more closely :tu

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Thank God for the Jets :D

Sorry, Neil!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Avs win in Detroit in a shootout! GO AVS!!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Watched most of the 3rd period and o.t./shootout :tu

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

If you don't have Center Ice, rejoice, because it's free for the next 7 days!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Wild fired Yeo.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Yep. Feel bad for him. You can't fire the whole team (which is what they deserved) but someone has to take the fall. Personally I would have rather seen Koivu, Granlund, Vanek, and Pominville, hell even Suter, gone before Yeo. I don't see this righting the ship.:sh

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Yeo's a good coach. Team might get a little jump in the short term, but they have bigger issues in the long run.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Gotta love this guy! Seems Francois St Laurent won't be welcome in Winnipeg anytime soon.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Wild are 3-0 under Torchetti. Almost look like a real team. Pretty much proves they just quit on Yoe. Too bad. They are winning puck battles again and even moving their feet on the pp. I've said it before but we have a team of premadonnas here.....man it's annoying.:sl

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

So what do you think it's like for a guy like Hall or RNH, to be "the man"....go #1, then work that moniker as best you can, it's a tough roll. Being Canadians doesn't help, carry a Country with that. Then....boom, this kid is jumping and special.

So, to be "the promised one" since you're probably 8(?), to have the chosen one come in and jump.....what's it like? They have to watch it everyday in practice.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

2pts for the Avs. I will not complain!

3rd Greatest of All Time!!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

The more I see him, the more I love what he's done. THN had him at #37 to start the year.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

#37 currently, or all time, E.J.? If it was all time, that's a joke. I watched a 44 year old man look like a man against boys tonight against Winnipeg, easily the best and hardest working player on the ice. If he hadn;t gone back home for a few seasons, he'd be second all time ahead of Howe and trailing only Gretzky, and actually likely giving that "unbreakable" record a run for the money.

Regarding the Edmonton question, yeah, it must be strange. Looks like Hall has actually stepped up his game, but he can't compete with McDavid. As for as RNH goes, he will be wearing a different sweater by next season.

Nice job by Barrie tonight, got me a GWG in the fantasy league. :wo

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Classy response from the Jets bench last night - applauding Jagr.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

The #3 all time goal scorer went right over my head last night....

But yea, THN did a ranking in April of last year and had Jagr at #37. I would never assume I know enough about these guys to make a list or move cats up or down(I don't know half of them). Here is their top 50. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/th...rowback-style/

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Where the Hell is Dave Manson?? :D

Lists are subjective, lots of greats on that list. Jagr would definitely be in my top 20 though.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Boy I gotta say, this might be the best outdoor series game I've ever seen. Other than that elbow to the mush of Zucker. That was pretty ugly.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Worst one I've seen, Pete. :lr

Hawks really stunk it up. I don't think Rosival's hit on Zucker was dirty, thought he caught shoulder (no "hit to the head" penalty assessed), and Zucker was just unlucky enough to crack his coconut when he went down. Hope he is OK long ter.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

I don't think he meant to hit him high but he definitely got his elbow up over the shoulder. Zucker was half out before his head hit the ice. Don't think it was dirty, just size differential.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Hope he is OK, Pete.

Just watched one of the Avalanche pulling out a tooth on the bench after catching a puck in the mush. Ouch.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Hey Tom - hot of the press - Ladd is headed back to the Blackhawks.
Hope for him you guys make a run of it.....

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Would not be disappointed to see the Blackhawks beat the Preds night now.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Yeah, heard about it this A.M.....pretty solid rental, Neil.

Sorry, E.J..... :hn

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Most people liked Ladd. I thought him over-rated myself. He is going to be expensive next year anyway, especially if he goes deep into the playoffs - his value will go up. I think Ladd did the best of everybody...

I think we did alright too:

"top pick, top prospect" being touted around town.



Is Marko Dano any good? - I see he was playing with the Hogs - ?development, or does he just not make it in the NHL?

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Hawks gave him a chance straight out of camp, Neil, and he didn't stick. And he hasn't been back, so he certainly isn't ready for the Hawks line-up presently. But he is very young, and has a lot of "potential"....maybe he will live up to it in the 'Peg.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Heard Dano will make his Jets' debut tomorrow.

The Jiri Sekac era has ended in Chitown.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Man I loved watching that Avs vs Wings alumni game. The old school highlights had me going and the game ended right! What a great rivalry!!! Hold chit what a ton of players!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Avs lose the Stadium Series game, but win the jersey game. Avs jersey was good lookng, and that Red Wings ensemble was just hideous.

Hawks win the preview of the Stanley Cup Finals this afternoon, 3-2. :wo

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Finally got to watch a Bruins game and I should have known better, 13 for 31 at home, wow that's just terrible, I guess Rask can't take the pressure of playing in front of the hometown crowd. TB was 1 for 27 on their recent power plays, they scored 2 on the PP in 40 seconds against Rask, he's good for what ails you!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Alumni game was better ;) I think I heard there was 43,000 in attendance for the game, man Sakic still has a nasty wrist shot :)

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

I just don't understand the trade for Boedker....:confused:

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Hejuk a long time guy for the Avs, so I understand it's hard to see him go. Boedker has a lotta upside....scored 2 GW OT goals against the Hawks when they eliminated the Hawks in 2012.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Stupid Vashilevsjinovsky was 1 minute from getting me a shutout in the fantasy league. Stupid Canadian. ;) :r

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

I don't know why I dumped him... bad move on my part, not going to get manager of the year.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

You will if you sweep the playoffs. ;)

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Well we didn't trade Suter unfortunately but we did have the biggest steal of the trade deadline. We got an actual hockey player for Niklas Backstrom. I figured we wouldn't get more than a bucket of pucks for him.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Big game tonight, Pete!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Sure is for both of us. Brodin was supposed to be back for us tonight but for whatever reason he is still on the shelf. Would be much more confident with him back. However keep an eye on our own MN boy Mike Rielly #4 on defense. He's only played around ten games for us but man is this kid a smooth skater. Fun to watch. Hopefully be a good game. What are your thoughts on David Jones EJ? Had a couple nice seasons with your squad.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Funny, the trade that ended Jones' career in Colorado, brought Tanguay back to Colorado...and then both traded again this deadline.

Jones had a couple strong seasons in Colorado, but never was one of my guys. He is what he is at this point, I wouldn't expect much.

Now watch him get like 8 minutes tonight and get the game winner.:gary

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Not suiting up tonight. I figure he'll be a fourth line guy.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Nice start, IGGY!!!

Boedker with the assist...

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

That didn't take long. ;)

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

It also didn't take long for Minny to take the lead... Ugh!

But yea, He'll of a start for Boedker, point on his 1st shift with the Avs.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Hanging Varly out to dry, both goals were open ice no defender....

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Make that 3 X....

Avs D being the Avs D.... Go get another speedy forward!!!

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

Nice game, Pete! Ugh...thought when the Avs tied it up, good things were going to happen. Not so much.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 

I thought for sure it was going to go to overtime. Boy our goaltending needs some help.
