Blues up 3-2 over Penguins in the 2nd.
|
Sadly, I can barely muster enough interest to care this season. I can't imagine the Avs are going to be any good.
|
Leafs seemed to do well tonight.
|
4-2 Blues in the 3rd.

First of hopefully many....**** the Pens! Go Blues...

I really wish KC had a pro hockey team. I enjoy watching hockey around playoff time, but have never had an actual team to root for.

Bullshit...damn
|
That is Blues hockey folks.
|
Schenn gave them this tie with that dumb play.
|
Blues win!!!
|
Yes! Yes! Yes!
|
That was a good game as a Pens fan. I'll take the point since we shouldn't of gotten any lol.
|
Last year my browsers thought I was in Louisiana, so I was blacked out of Preds games on nhl.tv.... other sites now know where I'm located, but nhl.tv now thinks I'm in Colorado (or NYC?).
Might not be the worst blackout... :hmmm: |
October hockey is pretty much me sorting out who still plays for who.
Hawks 3 goals in 2 minutes. |
Damn, Blackhawks.
|
Niemi pulled. He tripped leading them onto the ice and it went downhill from there.
|
Well, hey, the Avs won. There is hope yet.
|
The only reason I was keeping the Blackhawks on was to see if they could score 10.
Well done. |

I like Schenn so far. I know he wore out his welcome in Philly though.

Fun night at Scottrade tonight. Tarasenko's snipe happened right in front of us. Dude has such a ridiculous release.
2 games, 8 goals, 4 points. With a top 6 FW and top pairing defenseman out injured. Didn't see that coming. |
Gotta love daytime hockey.
Vladdy has 2 so far and Bortuzzo just took the greatest 'ah, **** it' penalty you'll ever see. Nelson hits Paajarvi behind the play and late, wipes him out. Bortuzzo cross-checks him, Nelson goes sprawling to the ice like a sniper hit him and so Bortuzzo gives him two more whacks to the spine after the whistle has blown. Hit him hard enough to bounce the guy's face off the ice and then his teammates stick to draw blood. But since it was the ice/stick that drew the blood, Bortuzzo didn't get a major for it - LOOPHOLE! Bortuzzo pretty much decided he gave zero ****s, he was gonna get Nelson back. Maybe not smart but in game 3 of the season, I'll allow it. https://twitter.com/islesnoah/status/917452174388367360 |

Blues beat the Hawks tonight. Schwartz with the hat trick.

Weren't the Blues originally in KC a LONG time ago? Just the Kings were in basketball.
|
Front page of ESPN doesn't show anything regarding the match-up between two of the NHL's elite: McDavid and Crosby.
If this game doesn't even get front page mention, then one has to wonder how much the sport is really growing in the US. ...or maybe ESPN is just reeruned, I dunno. ....and why is this game not on NBCSN? Wouldn't you want to showcase this game? |
Quote:
No idea why Wings/Sabres is on NBCSN instead... they've had some odd choices so far this season, even if they were made 2 months ago and not week by week. |
The Kings are on fire early. Check out this OT winner:

How are the Pens soon to be 7-5-1 with a -13 goal differential? When they're bad, they're really ****ing bad.... 10-1 and 7-1 losses so far, and down 5-0 to the Jets in the first period.
|
I don't expect the Devils to keep this up, but man are they exciting to watch.

It's abysmal and I have no idea where you even start to try and fix that shit. |

#PietrangeloForNorris
|
Fun game tonight in STL. Blues score 3 unanswered in the 2nd and then the teams combine for 6 goals in the 3rd.
4 point night for Schenn, 2 goals for Pietrangelo. |
Sounds like a Duchene deal is done.
|
Quote:
|
2 more assists from Schenn. Schwartz puts em in front 2-1
|
What a haul for the Avs in that deal, though. I know it sucks to trade a star like Duchene, but it seems like Sakic did ok.

|
Blues put an ass whooping on Edmonton tonight. 8-3.
|
Murdered. Holy shit.
|
Schenn is ****ing incredible. What a steal.
|
Quote:
What I fail to understand is why Ottawa traded Turris+ for Duchene. Could easily argue that Turris is the better player. Nashville killed that deal IMO. |
Quote:
|
The rumor of a Oliver Ekman-Larsson trade for William Nylander made me shart my pants a bit this week.
BTW - Shenn was an awesome acquisition for the Blues and Colorado & Nashville made off like bandits in their trade. I don't get it from the Ottawa perspective. |
They've been fun to watch so far this year.

Tarasenko with the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
And people bitched when we traded Reaves - that we needed someone to protect 91. Dude can handle himself just fine. |
Quote:
But I agree with Yeo and that a player of Tarasenko's caliber cannot be throwing blows. I think it sent a good message to the rest of the team, though. |
The Blues are terrible hard to keep up with, going to be a good race for the Central.

Duchene since the trade: 2-2-4 in 14 games.
I was told he's upgrade on Turris though. ROFL Ottawa is ****ed. |

Karlsson's gonna get 10+ M once his contract is up next offseason. Melnyk isn't gonna give that to him. Just wonder who would trade for him. Would absolutely love for the Rangers to be in on that, although I imagine the price would be ungodly. |
Quote:
With Doughty and Karlsson beating their chests recently, saying they're going to get as much as they can on the open market, this reduces their trade value in a sense since other teams know their current teams are in a pickle to extend them and they have no loyalty to their current teams vs. $$$. Melnyk needs to decide if he wants to do a deep dive rebuild, or, let things play out as they are, while in a Canadian Market that can't even sell out their playoff games. Tough situation... As a Leaf fan, with some glaring needs on defense, I wouldn't even be sniffing around Karlsson or Doughty. Both teams will be far more desperate to get far less for them next year. Even then, the cap damage would be hard to defend. |
Quote:
As for Duchene himself, he's always been streaky as hell. I think he gets way too far into his own head, and feeling like he has to prove himself on a new team is certainly the kind of situation I'd expect him to struggle with. |
41 points last year in 77 games. Is it really that surprising? Dude isn't some star player and wasn't before they dealt for him.
|
Blues down Schwartz, Pietro, Bouwmeester and Hutton against the Bolts tonight.
|
US vs Canada World Junior match up on NHLN. Tournament is in Buffalo.... game is outside. 11 degrees and a wind chill of 6.
