The Leafs are 1-0. Start planning the parade!

The Maple Leafs are 1-0, but how will this affect the Maple Leafs? Stay tuned to this 90-minute roundtable discussion to find out.

When the Cup finally comes back North, whichever city does it is going to lose it's collective mind. If it's Toronto, I'm not certain there will be anything left, if we're using St. Louis as a metric.

Panarin and Trouba score for the Rangers.

Habs lose their first game. Start up the engine, the tank is coming through.

 

Tank for Lafrenière.

Bold prediction to call the Blue Jackets getting contracted or getting killed off in a plane crash.

 

 

I think the Blue Jackets make the playoffs, by the way.

Sharks are 0-1. I'm already picking out the cardboard for the "free" signs to leave on several players come midseason. Should I use matte sharpie or magic marker?

Lol. My bad. But no playoffs for them.

Losing in a shootout to a conference finalist favorite isn't bad. They looked good.

Schenn signed an 8-year, $52 million contract extension with the Blues yesterday. Makes me think that Pietrangelo will be with someone else next year. 

[habsfan1 3,487]

It's great to have Kinkaid on board!

0-3, brutal start for the Sharks. LaBanc did the "controller disconnect" defense on the Ducks 3rd goal. 

[Still MIGHTY 3,825]

Happy to report the Ducks are playing a fun style of hockey. Yes, two wins to open the season helps, but there is a truly noticeable and real change to their game. The pace, the pressure, it’s all there. Bless you, Dallas Eakins. (And John Gibson doing something John Gibson things, especially tonight. Get this man a Vezina nomination, thank you?)

 

On the other side, oof, the Sharks have some defensive issues. Outscored 12-3 in their first three games? Not to mention just one goal scored in each? Like I’m happy with the Ducks play tonight, but I expected a true push back from the Sharks off those Vegas losses. It just wasn’t there.

I only get to watch the highlights nowadays, but I like what I'm seeing from them so far.

 

Ducks Twitter seems cautiously optimistic going into this year, but part of me wonders if that's based on the last time we got a new head coach with a more exciting playstyle than Carlyle.

Sharks bringing back Patrick Marleau for 1 year at $700,000.

The Flyers now have a "disassembly room" or "rage room" at the Wells Fargo Center to allow angry fans to smash TVs and break other stuff.

Fans can unleash their rage in the "Disassembly Room" on everyday items such as television and dishes using bats and sledgehammers. Some of the items will even have the opposing team's logos.

That will help the reputation that us Philadelphia sports fans continue to have.
