OT: Around the NHL: "Aaaaah, Ricky Bobby! Now we shall dance. And yes, it will be a slow jam."

[AuroraBorealis]

Guess the Sabres took my comments personally.

 

[Smasher]

Detroit blew a 5-1 lead against the Flyers... At least they won in the SO. I really hope we can get at least 5/8 points out of the remaining 4 games this year.

Caps just don’t give up a ton of goals.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Just saw the Larkin/Perron fiasco. Wow

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

12/27 Avs vs Yote is an easy game of the year candidate. Yotes in OT, after being down 0-4. Zooker played a big role, in very Zucker like style. I would so like to see a AZ game while they're in their little barn.

Cool article on how the the US Developmental Program started

Now a model of youth player development, the rise of the United States National Team Development Program wasn't always smooth sailing.

Huh, Capitals moving to Virginia in 5ish years. I thought their current arena and location was fine?

 

[Turin]

Toronto’s defense has absolutely cratered

Sweaty Teddy wanted hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate Capital One Arena. DC was dragging their feet to give it to him. Alexandria stepped up and offered to build a brand new arena for the Caps and Wizards.

Pretty shitty situation. That arena was in a good downtown location and while it didn’t have the bells and whistles of the newer arenas, it was still a fine place to watch a hockey game. I just hope this new arena has steps somewhere for all Pens fans to come together after wins mocking their fans lol

Toronto’s defense has absolutely cratered

They would of had to have a defense for it to crater. Their defense is just finally playing to its actual level.

Nah they were one of the best teams in the league defensively last year

Completely different defense group. And their bottom 6 forwards were build to be defensively sound.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Flames just did us a favour and buried the Flyers in regulation!

 

[Turin]

I know… hence the comment that their defense cratered

 

[Gurglesons]

Toronto's defense is absolutely horrendous this year.

I saw they had Benoit and McCabe on their second pairing last game.

Like dog. You thought signing and trading for Chicago and Ducks players.

I always wanted McCabe as a 3rd pairing D.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

This Ducks goalie is having himself a game

 

[Honour Over Glory]

So the rapist Nick Cousins has thrown 2 dirty hits where players took it upon themselves to police because the refs are useless and cousins still hasn't been suspended but the two players that beat his stupid ass, have.

Lol the NHL is such a f***ing joke.

They would of had to have a defense for it to crater. Their defense is just finally playing to its actual level.

They had a few injuries too didn't they? When they cratered the Pens, they didn't even have Brodie and someone else I think.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sprong has maintained a 50+ point pace all season. 26 in 36 games, really great seeing him build off last season. Blueger is having a very good go of it in Vancouver as well without the severe usage he endured for years.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol Bedard runs into Smith and somehow some Hawks players are mad because they didn't like it. If this was when Sid was a rookie he'd be laid the f*** out. Princess got rocked all on his own.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Boeser's made me eat crow. 50 goal pace right now. Didn't see that comin.
