tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The Islanders have already matched last year's November win total. If they can win five of their next nine, they will equal their combined November win total from 2010-2013.How's Halak playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 This is a disaster. Everybody's injured, they're playing two full lines of AHLers and a defensive pairing of AHLers, Curtis McElhinney is confirming what we all thought a year ago - that he sucks and can't carry a team if Bobrovsky goes down. Even when they get healthy they're going to be chasing the season. This completely sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when they get healthy they're going to be chasing the season. This completely sucks. I know it's early and you don't want to throw the whole thing down the drain, but I heard this discussed elsewhere and thought it was interesting.Right now, the Blue Jackets are 29th in the league, only one point better than the Sabres. So they'd be in line for the #2 pick, and possibly the #1 pick. You like the Blue Jackets young, rising core of player when healthy? Imagine if they could add Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel to the mix. That could really vault Columbus forward. | ANAÂ | LAA | LARÂ | LAL | ASU | CSULB |Â USMNTÂ | USWNT |Â LAFCÂ | OCSC |Â MAN UTDÂ | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to expect to be bad, but it's worse when you thought things were looking up and be bad. However, I don't think they're bad enough when they get their full team back. I think what will happen is the injured come back, the team plays as expected, and they finish ~6 points out of the playoffs, and we'll look back on this plague as the reason they missed out. Or who knows they go on a tear for the third straight season and make the playoffs again (they were 5-10 last year and 6-12-4 in 2012-2013 when they finished tied for 8th), but I'm getting really tired of counting on turnarounds and playing with tiny margins of error. Bobrovsky might play on Friday. I hope Jarmo is looking for a backup goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You can have our Antti Raanta but not for nothin'. We need a center. Just a #4 would be fine. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two straight shutout against the mighty Coyotes and Avalanche. Looked terrific last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorinK92 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Is there a term for a team that lets all your biggest rivals beat them all the time, but doesn't let your team beat them at all, just to give your rivals a reason to gloat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the only example I can think of right now. They always beat the Bengals, but in the rare cases when I need them to pull out a win they lose. They don't win for you, and they beat you when you so they're useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Milan Lucic is downright terrible. Nothing but a glorified fourth liner. Yuck.EDIT: As I type that, Milan Lucic coasts into the defensive zone and covers no one. Way to go, Milan! I'm glad that $6 million in cap space your contract eats up is going towards...something...

Imagine if they could add Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel to the mix. That could really vault Columbus forward.Yeah, what McCarthy said.Plus, we've been here before. In 2009, the Jackets finally made the playoffs. In 2010, they ended up with the 4th pick. Sure, that pick was Ryan Johansen, but it took five years to get back to the playoffs after talking about how bright the future was and how cool it was that everyone on that '09 team hadn't peaked yet. The market can't afford it. I'm just so beyond losing that it's... just no.But also, the team's talented enough that when guys start coming back that they'll win and start to chase down a spot — or, at least, finish in the purgatory of never being in a playoff spot but also not holding a top-six/eight pick. Which does nothing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 George Stroumboulopoulos I just wanted to remark that I stopped watching HNIC (after 34 years of loyal viewership) because of this putz. He's unappealing to look at (seriously he's got a face for radio not TV) and he has horrible verbal skills. (He mumbles when he talks and talks so fast Its irritating. There is a reason that his show on CNN got cancelled after 3 episodes and the only reason he has a show on the CBC is because it manages to draw slightly better ratings than a test pattern). I stopped listening to CFNY the Edge back in the 90s because of him and now he makes his way to a show I used to love.Pfft. Seriously because of this guy (and the unappealing losers over at Sportsnet) I ended up ordering the NHL Centre Ice package and now watch games from Foxsports Carolina and Foxsports Southwest.It was the best damned decision I ever made.Whenever I see Strombo as the host of HNIC: Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRadniz29 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 5 goals in the third period between the Ducks and Kings. Kings had a 5-3 lead with about 8 minutes to go. Ducks tied it up with about a minute and a half left. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterchaoss Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So have the rules changed this year because it seems like the scoring has gone up in the few games I've seen?Edit:also why can't the NHL do what the NFL dose after OT and call it a tie, SOs seem like a waste of time.

Unocal Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 STILL Mighty: The contrast between our teams right now could not be any greater. Ducks down 2 in the 3rd- rally. Sabres down 2 in 3rd on Tuesday- spearing major on Tarasenko, give up 3 PP goals ON 3 SHOTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
