Deport Andrew Shaw! Send him to Chicago!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Go Predators! :tu

Die Rask Die!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Looking forward to seeing Subban play in the West. And glad the Hawks will only have to dodge Weber's slapshots twice this season. ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I too look forward to him playing in the west!

Almost fantasy time! I look forward to winning it all this year! :D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Maybe Weber will hit Rask in the throat! :lr

Goals for this year:

Hawks win the Cup
Beating Adam in fantasy hockey ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Go Sharks! Be curious to see how they bounce back from the longer season and expectations.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Wonder how much more competitive Team USA would have looked with Matthews, Eichel, Gaudreau, Ekblad, etc. in the line-up. Not to mention Phil Kessel.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Not a good showing, and the sports stations have been hyping the game tomorrow, how'd that work out. Hull and Chelios talking about how disappointed they are in the team and they have no idea why the US had such a poor showing, just flat hockey and never in it.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

they should flip a coin and then no matter what comes up, dump Team NA :2

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Disappointed Team North America didn't advance, watching McDavid, Matthews, Eichel, Gaudreau et al was the most entertaining part so far.

Only good part.....the possibility of seeing Pavel Datysuk play at least one more hockey game. One of the greatest two-way players of all-time. :2

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

At first I thought that said "The greatest", I was going to have to bust out the Orr card on you. :lr


Great now I want to watch #4 videos, off to youtube i go!

He always kept his feet moving.. https://youtu.be/MSDw3tMa7ec

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I know pre-season means nothing, but I like where Bednar has the boys. Playing with purpose. Solid win tonight. (Just reading/updates)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

While Odull Beckham Jr is have some kind of mental breakdown, fighting and losing to the kicking screen then throwing tantrums on the sidelines .. you have hockey players that are in the penalty box and are still cool enough to photobomb a little fan.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

That's awesome. I'm excited to watch the Wild make the first round of the playoffs after an up and down season with troubles scoring as usual. But, it's still hockey.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Cute picture, but I still wanna punch Steve Ott.

Hawks prospects stepped up big time tonight against the Wings. A couple of them need to do it consistently for the Hawks to challenge for the Central.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Unbelievable debut for Auston Matthews

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Believe the hype. His second goal was f***ing sick.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Bah it was against the Senators, I would have been good for a hat trick against them. Hell even you could have scored at least once, Tom.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Craig Anderson would have put you in a blender and had you drinking yourself, Ads. ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Let's Go Wild!!!!!!!!! Actually I have. Feeling we won't have much offense again this year.....

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

One of the guys on NHLonXM picked them to finish 2nd in the Central.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

If the season ended today ... the oilers would be in the playoffs ... woot .

Derrek :)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

McDavid is unreal. I'd be shocked if he doesn't win the Art Ross this season, Derrek.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Backes and Marchand have some instant chemistry for the Bruins, it was impressive to watch.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

When Brad first came up and was an instigator / pest he was good at it, I never could figure out why they would bench him for playing that game, I guess that's why.... he's actually a hell of a skater, has superior stick handling skills and a nice shot. He was really good in the Cup game recently and I can't believe he didn't get a little MVP chatter, at least some.

Rask on the other hand is still Rask.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Marchand WAS the MVP of the World Cup, he got robbed. :2

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I think they'll probably make the postseason but won't go anywhere. I think the Staal signing will help some, but they still don't have any pure scoring. Lots of playmakers, nobody to put it in the back of the net.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Yes the Sidney love was out of control.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Jets pulled one out of the hat last night. Like the new kids a lot. Laine looks like a number 2 pick. Goalie was mediocre and the refs sucked badly.

Brief view of Mr and Mrs Nutcracker in row 2 in the crowd at the end of the game. Devilishly handsome chap with grey beard:

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Nice, Neil!

Yeah, the Jets better not start relying on coming back from 3 and 4 goal deficits. ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

So I have been trying to get into hockey for the last couple of years. It has been successful but I struggle with the rules, which affects my understanding for the game. I don't have friends that are into it where I am at.

How would I go about learning the rules for it so I can better understand the game?

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

This should get you started, Garry.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Awesome. A good read for sure. Thanks Tom!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Landeskog!!!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Saw the 3rd and OT, impressive game for ^^^ that guy.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I'm just crying in my pretzels...
.....even Tuukka can beat the Jets.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

So much talent offensively. Wheeler, Schiefle, now Laine and Ehlers, usually good stiff from Perreault. I think the defensive part of your D, and goaltending could be issues in making a playoff run.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

John Gibson is really bad. He was ranked so high in preseason, I guess you could say he's a little slow getting out of the starting gate. Lost his first 3, 3.50+GAA and sub .900 save percentage. I wonder if they would trade him for Rask? :lr

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

That's why I picked up Bernier in the fantasy leagues, figure it's only a matter of time... ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

6 goals from 6 different players tonight for the Wild. All around quality win. Boy the Kings are starting slow.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Hossa becomes the 44th player in NHL history to score 500 goals.

And a quick look at the list makes it seem that only 8 others on the list won at least 3 Stanley Cups.

Nice goin' Hoss! :wnr :wnr :wnr

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Another comeback from 4 goals down.
Wicked game by Laine - his first NHL hatrick.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Yeah, he shutdown that #1-#2 talk for one night anyway.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

A nice come-from-behind win for the Bruins. Marchand is just on fire; his goal shooting between the legs of the d-man was a thing of beauty.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Who was playing goal and wearing the Rask jersey? :noon

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Avs sit 3-1 with wins over Dallas, Pittsburgh & Tampa. We're 4 games in, so a grain of salt, but Bednar appears to be putting the boys in position to win games. Winning is better than losing.

Need more SOG.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Glad your club is playing well. Was beginning to miss the nice rivalry the Avs and Wild were working on.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Adam..........was that you??
