Around the League Thread: 2017 Season Begins

Leipsic with a beautiful assist on the 5th goal

He has been really good tonight.

Looks like he has the makings of a decent NHLer: happy to see him finally get his chance

Listening to Habs Lunch youd think all of their problems are Alex Galchenyuks fault.

It's just like watching L'Antichambre. The only thing missing on the panel are pitchforks and torches. Love the role reversal irony going on here.

I remember wanting Galchenyuk at the draft and being a little upset we ended up with Reilly instead.

This kid is only 2 seasons removed from a 30 goal season, and even last summer Leaf fans were being mocked that Matthews was selected for the Team North America over Galchenyuk only for marketing reasons.

His confidence is obviously shot, but someone is going to trade for him and get a steal, depending on the price of course.

Its going to be a Duchene-Galchenyuk deal. Book it

I think that this would have been done a long time ago if that is what Sakic was asking for.

 

[Slyfox]

Leipsic looked great.

well he's not scoring. so it's sort of his fault

I think Sakic is a terrible GM and blew his chance at the best deal he could have gotten from the Islanders. He'll settle for less.

NHL's resident GM-Player-Coach is already upset about losing

 

[MJ65]

With another goal tonight Ovi has already score 9 times and Kuznetsov is leading in assists with 10

Overall Washington now has 3 players with 10 points i.e Ovi, Kuznetsov, and Backstom and leading the NHL

 

[MJ65]

Vegas is leading 3 - 2 after 2 periods against Detroit

Eventually lost 6 - 3

 

[Suntouchable13]

Detroit is 4-1 already. WTF??

 

[MR4]

Detroit is 4-1 already. WTF??

Vegas is doping all the bad teams because of how much people bet on the top teams, knew we should've never brought a team there

This is the reality Vegas fans. If you face an elite team like Detroit, no chance haha.

Well they have beaten Dallas in their 1st of this season - they are probably going to lose more games but are capable of upsetting a lot of teams - they were leading 3-2 against wings after 2 periods

 

[TMLeafer]

Ottawa playing well. Guy Boucher is a damn good coach.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

what's happening to deadmonton? they keep losing. i love it.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

While Ottawa winning is ultimately a worse result for us, I can't help but feel slightly satisfied seeing Edmonton getting smoked.

That teams offense is all McDavid.

Guess the Oilers feel they need Dahlin to go with McDavid. You know they'd win the lottery right?

yeah I like their team but their obnoxious fans are unbearable. Great to see them get lit up
