NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Devils played well against the Rangers on Thursday. Todays game against Pittsburgh will be a tough one. I hope we can pull it off

Sidney Crosby is the man. The pens take the night off and Crosby picks up the slack with 3 goals 3 different ways (ppg, shg, sog)

I see Manny Legace was between the Pipes for the Wolves...I always really liked him(he autographed a card for me back in the day when he played for the Moose before he made the jump to Detroit).

It was pitiful, Matt. I can see why the Wolves have only 1 win in 7 or 8 games, they can't pass, don't know when to shoot...they are a mess.

The Moose didn't look much better....the two players who really stood out, at least from a speed standpoint, were Matt Pettinger and Marco Rosa. Maybe Rosa will get a look in the Big Game sometime this season, I know Pettinger has been up and down.

I feel bad for Chelios....first, the building was empty. So much for a homecoming. Secondly, the team just can't play, or at least not within this system. He has to be frustrated starting a breakout only to watch his team turn over the puck time and time again.

AVS!!!

45 saves by Anderson tonight.

In my wildest dreams would not have guessed a start like this.....

8-1-2.....

[icehog3]

Anderson has been unbelievable, I am thrilled for him.

Huet actually had himself a great game and put the Hawks back in the win column with a 2-0 shutout.

Sharks almost didnt beat the Thrashers without Kovalchuck as he left in the first. They better get their Shiet together.

Looks like Ruutus hit on Tucker cost him 60k and 3 games.
Artyukhin suspended 3 games and fined 35 k for slewfooting
Ovechkin fined and not suspended for slewfooting peverley.

Decent article, but to say Ovechkin isnt a dirty player at times is kind of funny.


Hoooray three games tonight. I have a feeling the sharks are going to get worked like a borrowed mule tonight against philly

[icehog3]

Ovechkin has a history of this kind of stuff. On Hockey Night in Canada last night, Don Cherry opined that he likes Ovie, but that someday payback is gonna be a b#tch.

Wait Grapes said he likes Ovie?
That dude hates anyone who aint a "good ole Canadian Boy" Still remember that Soccer celebration/Goal celebration clip where he personally called out Ovie. That was the whole incident where Ovie did the stick on fire dance after a goal afterwards to piss him off more. Cherry makes me laugh and he is great, but that dude HATES EUROS!!!!!

I was suprised too...Cherry said he "likes the way Ovechkin plays the game, that he is (Cherry's) kind of player". I don't remember ever hear him praising an Eastern European before.

The only work you need to do is sport the jersey on game nights and keep giving Kane some luck! The BLACKHAWKS LOVE ROB!

I missed em

Comments kind of sound like the AHL. That the big difference early in the season I have found between he AHL and the NHL. The play seems to be sloppy , and I think for the most part that a lot to do with the inexperience of the majority of the players on the team. Come back and watch some games in January and you will be amazed by the improvement.

I didn't realize that most of the Moose Firepower was up with the big club, Bolduc, Grabner and Shirokov had all been called up the week previous. Might be one reason why it was such a low scoring affair.

[icehog3]

It was borderline pathetic, Matt.....Pettinger, Rosa and Chelios were the only players I was even moderately impressed with.

I guess you'll have to go check out the Moose and Icehogs in November for a comparison

I try to get out to Rockford for a couple of games per season, maybe I will try to make that one.

[smokeyandthebandit05]

I cant believe the Devils beat the Pens

Especially since the Shark's second goal came on a power play that should have gone the other way and the fourth goal was just lucky. I feel that if Kovalchuk hadn't had to leave the game and that penalty was called correctly that the Thrashers would have easily won.

Craig Anderson with another shutout.....Chicago never should have let him go.

Yeah, remember that one guy we let go? His name started with an H......Hasek I think?

Even Hasek couldn't have saved the Hawks in the late 90's and early '00s.
