Around The NHL - Back in the Saddle Again

[ClassLessCoyote]

Eichel got paid.

 

[HerrDonut]

Pittsburgh's unis are so pretty. Sigh.

Toronto spanks the Jets in their barn 7-2. Marleau with two goals and AM with 3 points.

Mike Smith halving a great game roughly 1/2 way through vs Oilers.

Smith has historically owned the Oilers. Not a surprise.

Was hoping this was sarcasm...

 

[Coyotedroppings]

McDavid hat trick on empty netter Smith faced over 40 shots, a McDavid breakaway to start the game and two partial breakaways also but McDavid. Smith stopped all but one partial breakaway.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Second redirect of the night by Wayne Simmonsmgives Flyers 4-3 lead over Sharks

Edit: Simmons empty net hat trick seals a 5-3 win for Flyers.

 

[0point1]

Smith had a 95% save rate, 42/44. Smith played good, I would point the finger at the rest of the team for (1) allowing that many shots and (2) not getting on the board with some goals.

So much for passing to players who can score

Lol! Nice call back.

Vegas put Calvin Pickard on waivers.

Vegas put Calvin Pickard on waivers.

Wow, didn't see that coming. Wonder who will snatch him? (I assume someone will, unless I am overestimating him lol)

 

[mouser]

Wouldn't be surprised if Pickard clears. Have to believe just about every team is set at backup goalie.

Tage Thompson made his NHL debut for St. Louis last night, he's another NHL PLAYER BORN IN ARIZONA! Big time potential!

Sean Couturier was born in AZ as well

So we've got a line?

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

I think we got Tkachuk too.

 

[TheLegend]

Speaking of Tkachuks.... hearing Brady is even meaner than his older brother.

Apparently it's not even close haha, I can't imagine what he must be like

Oh yeah. Making an AZ team would've been a good offseason boredom thread. If that's the list for now though the blueline could be super rough.

Jim Brown (1 year in LA) at one D spot.

Ty Conklin in goal (Edm, Stl, CBJ, Buf, Pitt, Det)

I'd take him over the backups in Boston and Toronto. That's just 2 examples.

 

[Plub]

Buffalo seems like they should be such a solid team. Big, fast, talented, young... I hope they get going this year.
