:D People on ESPN's board for the game were complaining and trolling how long the ceremony lasted while forgetting it was due to the NHL wanting the whole ceremony shown nationally and not just on the local NESN channel. Bruins still seem to have a problem with closing out periods but it is too early to see if its due to new season rust or a season-long problem. |
Fuck.
|
James Freakin Neal.
|
6 weeks Gertie, you pick the avatar.
|
Malkin's patience on that shootout goal was sick. Loved that. Fleury made some great saves, but also gave up that terrible goal.
Also, Optimus Reim. What up. |

Voukun not starting tonight. Yeesh.

OPTIMUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS REIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FA, throw an Optimus Reim avatar on there. It's a picture of Reimer's mask with Optimus Reim under it. Shouldn't be hard to find. |
Buffalo played expectedly well against a seemingly sluggish Anaheim. Vanek is going to have a big year, I can feel it. He's got the right pieces around him.
Richards was great in his debut with the Kings. |
Tyler Ennis - 20 Goal Scorer coming off a great rookie year - expected to score 25-30 this year
Ville Leino - coming off a 53 point season Brad Boyes - Scored 40 goals several times That is the Sabres 3rd line....FUCKING 3rd line should push 60 goals and 150 total points. |
Yeah Buffalo looks nasty...

Sens losing. Picking up where they left off then.
|
They have some nice young players, but Anderson is gonna have to stand on his head this year.
|
Let's go Hawks!
|
Interested in seeing Saad tonight.

Also, Predators FTW.
|
No Carcillo for Chicago. That's disappointing.
|
Nevermind. Forgot that he's suspended.
|
Luke Adam looking like a boss on the top line.
|
Predators 2-0! Boom.
Legwand, Wilson, and Smith played out of their minds when the Preds were lacking energy. I'm glad that line stepped up with Erat out, because without him the Preds need all the offense they can get. |
:D Bruins played much better today against the Lightning for the win while the experts weren't joking in saying Tampa was going to rest Roloson a lot this season with his 1st game off being today.
Seguin has been amazing so far with 3 assists in 2 games. :eek: Leafs almost blew the game in the 3rd after leading 4-0 earlier against the Sens. |
Every aspect of the Sharks game is fantastic right now, except for their penalty kill. It's like they go retarded for two minutes at a time.
|
Love watching streams of hockey games and the fact they seem to be on every fucking day, can watch Boston/Anaheim and Kings(decided on following all of them, couldn't pick one but then i don't live in the US or canada) when i wish now, wish i could've done this last season. Going to be a fun season for me. :y:
|
Holy fucking Jeff Skinner.
