Blackhawks V. Bruins, round 2 in June....discuss. :)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Both teams will be in the hunt that's for sure :D

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

AVS!!! Playoffs would be a step forward and I'm calling my shot, Avs in!

I thing Roy is going to bring some toughness to a team that has lacked an edge for years.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hoping he will fight Jimmy Howard at some point in the season. ;)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I totally agree :tu

This is the first time in many years I have been excited for the season to start.

Too funny :r

7 years with Nugent-Hopkins can't hurt. :)

Now you can root for the 'Bulin Wall" in Chicago, Derrek. ;)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Go Wings!!! Love to see our young guys take that next step this year.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

kessel deserves 10 games...5 for attacking with his stick and 5 for being a coward and attacking with his stick while the other guy was busy fighting a real hockey player(or two).

being he plays for Toronto...3 games(maybe).

What about Kassian for breaking Gagner's jaw, D?

I thought the Oilers looked pretty good against the Ca****s the other night. :2

Gilbert is gone, Ballard is in. Should be in the playoffs again. Just wish we would get rid of Backstrom.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

rest of pre season and 5 games...I am conflicted over whether this is enough or not.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Reckless, but not sure it was intentional. Oilers will definitely miss Gagner more than Vancouver will miss Kassian.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Sharks second round flame out as usual.
Ooooooh and Red Wings still suck.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Looking for a respectable Flyers' season ending with a playoff appearance. Hoping they do something once there.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

What they did in 2010 would be perfect for me, Joel. ;s :r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Mike, you should hope your Sharks get to see the Wings in the playoffs. That would mean they made it to the finals before they go Shark. ;)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Here we go again. :lr

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

For all those Flyers fans ..

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

That was fun last night, getting to watch NHL games again..... My wife was not as happy....

Avs tonight!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

It's early and I'm still catching up on DVR... But love the way the Avs are playing and MacKinnon can FLY! Varlamov looks great, which is better than looking good....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Nice win... Hope MacKinnon is okay... LOVE Roy's fire!!!! This is going to be fun...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Great performance by the Avs, they looked great, E.J.

To each is own though....to me, Roy's fire is a liitle dab of douchiness. :r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

My boy Datyuk Highlight Reel got his point. Let's go Wings

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Yea...one of those love him or hate him guys.... He's my man, so his antics ring true....but I can understand that.

That said, the Avs need(ed) toughness and he's not going to skate a soft team. Top down....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hoping the Avs stay in the mix this season, they're a fun young team to watch. :tu

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

The Avs looked great last night! In case anyone did not see, there was a knee on knee hit to MacKinnon and with a few seconds left in the game, the Ducks sent out their 4th line so to me I think Roy's response was to those incidents and I don't blame him for getting upset on a hit to one of his players. Love him or hate him Roy does have a certain style all his own and I like his passion which was so badly needed for this team *cough* Sacco *cough* :2

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Vancover is still the biggest group of as$hats.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Can't decide if they take after their fans or the fans take after them. That being said, having dated someone from Vancouver, I've never in my life seen a bigger group of bandwagon fans, worse than when the RedSox won it all in 2004, the never year every God damn college student in Boston was a "die hard RedSox fan" ... it was enough to make you puke.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

:wo I'm with you. Datsyuk is the best all around player in the league.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Best hands and possibly best vision of ice. I think hes top 5 for sure cant say number 1 as other factors come in. Hes definitely deadly.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Two words.

Jonathan Toews.

That is all.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

It feels kind of weird for me to watch Flyers games...I'm only watching because I have a huge mancrush of Vincent Lecavalier (followed him from CA to draft to Tampa). I am probably his number #1.

...go Fly...ers??? I feel so dirty...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I feel ya, Marc, I am rooting for Ray Emery to have a good season, and for Scott Hartnell to get lupus. ;)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Landeskog sitting against Nashville tonight, leg injury and listed as "day to day".....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Varlamov playing well. Nice win!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Big start for Craig Anderson last night! :tu

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Don't feel dirty, Marc!
I'm interested to see how Emery does without the Blackhawks defense in front of him...

As for Hartnell, I'll admit he can, at times, come across as an asshat, but he plays the agitator roll well while playing a productive game. Reports are he came into the season in way better shape than any year prior (something like 7% lower body fat % than ever before), so I'm hoping that translates into a more consistent year.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I'm sure I would love Hartnell is he was in Red and White, Joel. Regardless, I am hoping Emery has a big year, he deserves it.

Let's Go Hawks!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Avs are 3-0 with their win in Toronto. MacKinnon has 4 points(all assists) in his first 3 NHL games.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Was Craig in net again?

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

:confused:

Varlamov in net for the Avs.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I'm losing it? :lr

Anybody see 19 year old Tomas Hertl's 4th goal of the night for the Sharks? OMG. Slap yo Mamma good.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Looking forward to a good season.

Let's go Bruins.

First two games they looked pretty good but they still need to work out the kinks.

Hockey!

Steak and Eggs!!!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

This morning on SC.....& yes...WOW!

All I am going to be seeing on the ice for weeks, is kids trying that move....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

In honor of that goal, a few more all time best 'tween the legs moves.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Watched the game. The Rangers were God awful last night. There were points in the second and third where they literally stopped skating in their own zone and just watched the Sharks cycle the puck. That combined with the Sharks new speed style of play with the influx of kids in the lineup, and every bounce imaginable going the Sharks way made for a epic game. That Thornton Burns Hertl line is going to do a lot of scoring. Each one is huge but they all bring a different element. Hertl is the nicest kid so its awesome seeing him do well. Nieto who is a Cali boy and played for LA Selects growing up also had a goal and 2 apples.

The boy has been trying for months. He cant do it at any real speed. Really can only do it standing still. Still 7 years old so.....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Wow! :jd

Flyers finally win a game... albeit with their second coach in four games. I'm glad the organization had the balls to make the coaching change so early, because if they let it get to 10 or 12 games and things didn't change, it would have been a deep hole to start the season.

Tough times for Peter Laviolette... fired by the Flyers and having a dispute with BoA. LINK

Part of me wonders if the distraction of the latter didn't ultimately cause the former. (Lawsuit filed just two weeks ago).
