Around the NHL XLII: Pumpkin Spice Edition

Anyone see the Torts post-game interview? Haha...

"but the thing that crawls up my ass is - I watched Nick Foligno fight that animal, (etc.)""

By animal he was referring to Reeves, lol... He also cursed twice during the interview... Classic Torts....

If theres evidence of him calling other players 'animals', fine, if not, hmmm....

Marek Svatos has passed away.

Very sad news, no word on how he passed away at such a young age. RIP

A few places have reported an accidental overdose, but nothing has been officially confirmed. Regardless of the cause, it's tragic.

Yakupov a healthy scratch again...

Shocking.

Anisimov leading the league in scoring and Talbot leading the league in wins. Ya gotta love it haha. Good to see them doing well.

It's very early, but it's still really surprising, no one would have ever guessed it, that's why they play the games !

Thing about Montreal is Price will continue to dominate and they only have to be average for him to win. He's that good. Best player in the world.

Rangers have made some good goalies and teams look bad. Dissolved them.

Bishop and Tampa
Allen and St. Louis

To a lesser extent

Talbot and Edmonton because I dont know if theyre for real yet in the sense that theyre finally gona take the next step.

Rask and Boston because I dont think Boston is good at all but I have a ton of respect for Rask.

I cant wait to play Montreal and Pittsburgh. Those are the real tests.

 

[Kovalev27]

With all due respect to you and those goalies none of them can hold Price's jock.

I am not looking forward to playing in Montreal at all however can't wait to take a shot at the Penguins.

I am looking forward to it. Not devaluing Price by any means. He is outstanding. But I would like to see how this team responds to thw challenge.

Unfortunately, we don't play the Habs until January. Pens later on this month.

Facing the Habs in January will be interesting, since I think that's a large enough sample size by then to really tell how all the teams look

Hamonic had his hand broken. Isles are done and it's not even December.

 

[Irishguy42]

You'd think Ladd will get going at some point, right?

They're in an awful position right now.

Winnipeg fans be like "Trouba for Leddy, Tavares, a 1st, and your 1st born child"

 

[Cassano]

Ladd's skating on the 4th line.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Nice to see the Isles falling flat on their faces again. Their fans got a little too cocky and arrogant for my liking when they finally won a playoff series in 20 years last season

Please don't undermine the futility of that franchise

 

[Cassano]

They're gonna pull some dumb trades in an attempt to persuade Tavares to stay with them. Once he's gone, they'll have nothing. He may be one of the most sought after free agents of all time.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Trouba just signed a 2 year deal at 3M each...the dream is over folks.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I just hope they don't suck their way into Nolan Patrick or Liljegren. That franchise deserves nothing.

 

[Miamipuck]

Real, not sarcastic question: Is the "Weeks" people are referring to Kevin Weekes the former goaltender and his name is being misspelled?

Yeah my bad, I use a kindle and it constantly word predicts my posts, it drives me bat**** crazy, it's really bad with foreign names. I do know how his name is spelled, if you can believe that. Lol

FWIW, he's not as highly rated as the McDavids/Eichels/Matthews. More like a RNH/Duchene/Reinhart level center I think.

 

[Ori]

Yeah, I thought so - Winnipeg won`t move him until end of that contract probably.
