Canucks are stupid. Mason is not the only example.

Still miles ahead of the moves my Leafs have made. I don't know how they are going to get Franson signed. Nobody wants JM Liles.

Epic linebrawl in the Sabres vs Leafs game tonight. Goalies fought, even Kessel fought and one. Clarkson is gonna get 10 games for leaving the bench.

I though scott was a moron attacking kessel and the whole thing was pathetic.

Then we kessel came back after Scott after it all ended and speared him I changed my mind. Bullshit stick work from kessel.

Clarkson bye bye for 10. Scott should get 1. Kessel should get 3 for the slashing and spearing. Scott being an instigating goon aside, no one should ever be allowed to use a stick like a weapon.

The Capitals will host the 2015 winter classic... they don't know where or against whom though

wtf

Might be against the Penguins since that was one of the original plans before the recent lockout and some deals moved around a few of the Winter Classic matchups.

If its not the Penguins, there are rumors of it being down to the Bruins and Flyers as likely opponents.

I can't see it being the Pens again with them already playing Caps in Winter Classic a few years ago and also being in 2 Classics already.

I'm not sure who but I would be shocked if it is. My personal Dream is a few years down the road after a few more teams have got a chance to play in one, have a Pens vs Flyers in Beaver Stadium. I was there for the Heinz Field game and the atmosphere was insane. I couldn't even imagine that atmosphere for a Pens/Flyers game in such a big Stadium.

This was ridiculous

You know, I actually like Jack Edwards 95% of the time. He doesn't brush off opposing teams goals like they are nothing and you can tell really loves hockey......and then there's the other 5% when he acts like Derek Sanderson Version 2.0.(That is a reference to former Bruins player turned announcer Derek Sanderson who when he was doing color was over the top biased during fights to the point where you'd turn the sound off. Lyndon Byers and Jay Miller went undefeated in his eyes.)

Leafs sign Mason Raymond to 1 year 1 million. Love the signing...not sure how the fuck they are going to get Franson signed, but Raymond fills a need.

Oilers claim Steve Macintyre off waivers. Macintyre, Patrick Bordeleau and Brian McGrattan are going to have some wars. Holy shit can those three ever throw them.

Haha I love Jack so much.

That was a mint fight. Both guys just throwing bombs. Lucic landed the bigger blows but it was essentially a draw. Could watch that fight again.

4 fights that game, pretty crazy, especially for the Caps who aren't known for that, although Joel Rechlicz is a major goon.

Corey Tropp missed last year with a knee injury, and now has a broken jaw and a concussion from the Devane fight and is out for who knows how long.

He reminds me of a young Steve Ott, but cant stay healthy and get his career going.

And all this for a fucking Preseason fight.

Corey Tropp is a young Matt Ellis. That's about it.

Hahaha!

Waiver wire is going to e very interesting. John-Michael Liles placed on waivers. That's a lot of salary to eat.

Anyone see any surprises this year?

IE: Calgary makes the playoffs or the Hawks don't? ...

I guess its time to change that "OFF SEASON" part of the thread.

Also, Kessel signing an 8 year extension, good to secure him.

I vow to watch way more hockey this year. I was completely uninvolved last season!

I have the Islanders being more of a player this season.

I'd like to see the Jets and Oilers make the playoffs this season.

Both of those teams need upgrades in net before they even think of sniffing the playoffs

LEAFS!!!!!!!

Hopefully Parros is ok.

I didn't start watching until 3 minutes into the start of the third period. Totally forgot about watching the Leafs game, was lucky that I caught the third. :p

Reimer - Bernier will be interesting. I heard HNIC talk about Carlyle stating that both will play regularly (sounded like alternating every game).

I must have tuned in right after the Parros incident as I didn't see this:

This division is going to be nuts. I'm expecting a lot of these kind of games.

Scoring should go up overall this year. We'll see.

Yeah Parros going down was bad... watching the replay you can see his facial expression before he hits.

"THIS IS GONNA HURT" BAM.

Leafs are going 82-0

Patrick Roy has already pushed the divider between the benches over and tried to murder Bruce Boudreau

I love him so much :'(

Yet another game the Leafs have no business winning that they win. They make zero sense.

I had to turn down front row seats to the Penguins game tonight....GUTTED

why

Ended up getting a $10,000 fine as a result.

$10 000 well worth it...

He won't pay it anyways.

:cool: Bs won the opener.

Fleury goes from not being able to stop anything in the playoffs last year to making some of the most insane saves I've seen in a long time tonight and recording a Shut out. Good Lord. I guarantee will be on most Sports Top Plays tonight but make sure you see that one back handed save tonight that was unbelievable.

Fleury is going to be fine. I fault that defence more than anything.

<font color=goldenrod>Fun opener from the Isles last night.</font>

well thus far the Avs are a million times better than I expected. Then again I expected them all to die the first night, so there's that.

Also Steve Downie is the greatest man who ever lived
