The_Admiral Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Looks like having most everyone skip training camp has been great for increasing scoring around the league. Less structure is good. Canada. Canada. Congrats to Hossa on his 500th goal, by the way. His Hall of Fame odds have to be pretty high at this point. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Gotta say, I was impressed with the Blackhawks last night. They blew a 3 goal lead, sure, but Panarin/Kane/Anisimov were on fire the rest of the way. I don't know how good or reliable the Flyers are supposed to be this year, but it was nice to see these young, wonky Blackhawks show some resolve in the face of collapse.

The_Admiral Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It was a four-goal lead they blew, actually! And the Flyers are a bubble team with some good young talent but also Radko Gudas, which sounds like some sort of Eastern European beet gravy. There's some promising talent on the Hawks, but also some dead weight that needs to get cleared. Dressing Jordin Tootoo is essentially electing to play with 17 skaters. The Committed Indian cognoscenti are already declaring war on Richard Panik as the guy where they say "you think he's good but I'm here to tell you he's actually not!", as they did with Andrew Shaw, but you know what, if he's gonna stand in front of the net and score goals that wouldn't get scored otherwise, then that's better than nothing, even if he's being played on too high a line -- again, much like Andrew Shaw. If we just had a bona fide first-line wing, SAY FOR INSTANCE BRANDON SAAD, this could be a really good team. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Anisimov & Panarin than Saad at this point, but yeah Saad would be perfect for what they're lacking. First-world hockey problems I suppose.

scottysprings Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That Laine/Matthews OT series was eerily reminiscent of the McDavid/Eichel OT last season at FNC. As a relatively new NHL fan it's pretty awesome to be able to watch the next generation of NHL superstars blossoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrandeOrange Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Carey Price returns tonight. This is obviously very exciting, although Al Montoya has been the best goalie in the NHL, and we're about to face off against our old nemesis- the Québécois backup (in this case, Louis Domingue).

DaRadniz29 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dear San Jose Sharks, the NHL plays three twenty minute periods. Yeah some of was pittsburgh, but when you stand around and puck watch you will probably get scored on... and they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't followed much of Al Montoya's career prior to him being signed to Montreal. Is he really that big of a talent? As for tonight, it's great that Weber scored his first goal as a Habs with that speeding bullet from the blue line. I saw his highlights video on Youtube; he's like Sheldon Souray but with power levels increased even higher! If the Habs play their cards right, promote him according to his strengths, this could be a good year for our blue, blanc, rouge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaGrandeOrange Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 He was a hot prospect at one point, but never fully panned out. He was one of the best backups for the last couple of years, and thusfar is top 2 or 3 in almost every goalie stat. He'll certainly come back down to earth but it's a big upgrade over Condon/Scrivens/Tokarski/Budaj that we've been running with for a while!
