Pre-Game Talk: A New Era Begins....(vs.VGK; @STL)

[LoneStarHockey]

Alright, this is it! Hockey is back in the Lone Star State and I am excited to see this team in action.

We start the season off with a tough back to back, first the Home opener vs. Vegas then on the road vs. a tough Central Division opponent in St. Louis.

I think we have a good chance to start this season on the right foot, and win both of these games. How many points are you expecting? What are you most excited to see to start the new season?

Feels like the previous 90's era to me. Hopefully the results will be similar.

 

[Privet]

I feel you guys will have a big season finishing at the top of the western conference.

Hey,

Do any of you guys know what the stars second PP unit is by any chance? Can't see if it was reported and I saw something different things in the preseason.

Thanks!

Hitch said "The power play is going to look different. Nobody's seen our power play, nobody's seen us work on it. Our units are different than we've ever had here, so that's going to be a little more a patient, take time kind of thing.", so we might not even know what the first unit will look like until it's on the ice.

Mixed feelings about Hitch being back.

Radulov was great last year in the Habs in their very limited offence otherwise, so hyped to see him here.

Let's go!

 

[serp]

Well going to be interesting to see in a real game . Defense is still a bit of a question mark

 

[Magic Mittens]

Let's go Stars!!!!

Finally this day is here

 

[D Wakaluk]

Liking the energy so far. Radulov absolutely destroying people out there

 

[Magic Mittens]

PP needs sometime to get use to the new set up haha

 

[Troy McClure]

I’m done with Roussel. He can go take stupid penalties for another team.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Looked more like Roussel was tangled up with the Dman then trying to run MAF

Wow now he takes his 3rd penalty....

 

[D Wakaluk]

Roussel you little madman I love you but.. can't do that

 

[Magic Mittens]

Damn nice try there for Rads

Stars are looking alot better in the 2nd

 

[D Wakaluk]

Mm'm, Stars outplaying the expansion bois in every aspect, just can't solve Fleury ... yet

 

[Magic Mittens]

Seguin!!!

Nice slap pass by Shore on the PP

 

[D Wakaluk]

Finally! They just needed the perfect reflection and some traffic.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Neal just annihilated Seguin; great hit.

I’m done with Roussel. He can go take stupid penalties for another team.

His contract is up this year, and yeah, if he doesn't smarten up some, he can go and Remi Elie can have his spot.

 

[Doc McKenna]

How do you like Radulov. Guy is a beast. Congrats to Nill for picking him up and making your team competitive at free agency this year

 

[Magic Mittens]

Bishop leaving for stitches. Lehts coming in for now

Rads has looked good most of the time. The whole team started slow, but he's made some big hits and almost had a breakaway

 

[PHYS251]

Noooo Bishop

 

[Benneguin]

So is Bishop's mask made of cardboard?

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Let's go boys
