The 2013 NHL Season Thread

[GFB]

I get so uncomfortable when Detroit, Cleveland/Columbus, and Pittsburgh fight among themselves. It's like watching stray dogs fight for edible garbage and I can't come in to break it up.

In fairness, Detroit and Pittsburgh have very little against each other than the occasional Stanley Cup Final rematch. I feel it's pretty safe to say who starts most of the tension.

Eastern Conference ladder:

8) New Jersey Devils: 29 GP, 13-10-6, 32 points

--------------------------------------------------

11) Tampa Bay Lightning: 29 GP, 13-15-1, 27 points

I love loser points.

[Still MIGHTY]

Back off, Leafs

With this time off, Perry went negotiating haha. Its a lot of money, but if theae youngsters can keep it up, the Ducks are set for a little while. (Although, get ready for the Bobby Ryan sweepstakes in two years ) GO DUCKS!

[Kramerica Industries]

Without the Shanaban, perhaps Perry and Anaheim FO don't have the time to negotiate such a deal.

See, there's a silver lining to everything.

u suck

[The Six]

Maple Leaves might still have a chance. This could be a delayed sign-and-trade. Perry and Beauchemin for Lupul, Gardiner, and Kessel. Then two years later the Ducks will trade Lupul and Fowler to get Beauchemin back.

So, the Kane goal, or the Toews goal: Which makes you more moist?

[dbadefense1990]

Nice first career NHL goal for Tyler Toffoli. Welcome to the show, Tofu!!!

Kane. That absurd angle! You're not supposed to defy geometry like that. Geometry doesn't like it.

There's a no movement clause.

So glad Vancouver has joined us in mediocrity. Surprised at how quickly it happened though.

So is it a requirement for the Kings and Yotes to play sloppy, net-dislodging, knee-busting hockey against eachother?

Not sure, but I enjoy it.

-------

Ducks cap hit from Perry and Ryan (or Getzlaf? Crap, I dunno) will be $17M next season with a dipped cap.

Also haha, Mike Smith blows.

Random question, and I may be an idiot: Jake Muzzin (so far) has had a goal and been on the ice for another, yet he's only a +1 in a 4-0 game. How does that happen?

Also Mike Smith blows. Did I say that already?

[NEW.ERA]

25% of the Ducks cap will be tied up into Perry and Getzlaf, and another 41% between those two, Ryan and Hiller.

Muzzin's goal was a power-play goal.

On power plays, the players on the team with the man-advantage doesn't get a Plus added to their stats when they score a goal, and the players on the team with the man-disadvantage doesn't get a Minus when they allow a goal.

Short-handed goals are treated as even-strength goals, where the players for the scoring team gets a Plus while those on the ice that allowed the goal get a Minus.

I never knew that! Learn something new every day. Derp.

Coyotes get shut out by the Kings.
