AROUND THE LEAGUE:

OCTOBER SCHEDULE:

[/FIELDSET]

[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

It was a huge start for us. When the schedule came out I couldn't think of a tougher place for us to start than in STL.
So we had this one circled for a long time and we knew it would be a true test coming out of the gates. It was nice to get the W.
- Rick Nash

It was a good game and a great start for us. I thought we played a really strong game five on five, did a lot of good things.
The big thing tonight, obviously is Nasher playing a huge game for us, coming up with some big plays and goals. It was great to see.
- Henrik Lundqvist

The Duke? Yesterday I thought the Duke had some moments. There’s a lot of raw talent there.
I think probably the biggest thing with younger players like him or JT is people think that playing without the puck is playing defensively.
Well, it is defensively but it’s also about knowing where to go to get the puck quicker so you can play with the puck.
- Alain Vigneault

**** the Jackets.

I'm excited, I'm hoping we can go 2-0, it would be huge. I'm a bit shocked we're playing Talbot this early, though, perhaps AV wants to give Lundqvist the extra rest for the home opener? I am a bit concerned about Talbot since he didn't look particularly good during the preaseason.

As for the rest of the team, I'm really not a fan of Hags' being on Zucc and Brass' line, but we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping MSL can play better center, and overall ,I hope our team can win some damn faceoffs.

Can't wait for #2 of 82!

Sorry, this cracked me up. :laugh:

AV doesn't want him playing back to back games.

Time to expose Tyutin and Erixon

Problematique · Oct 11, 2014

Didn't catch much of the Blues game, but of Miller and Hayes who had the better game and going forward would you suggest these two can become regular starters in the bottom 6 for this season once Stepan comes back?

More like time for Tyutin and Erixon to fire! I love the negativity of this board.

Giacomin · Oct 11, 2014

Lets see if Talbot can keeps the Blueshirts undefeated!

Killem Dafoe · Oct 11, 2014

This should be a fun game. Not going to lie, Dubinsky being out eases my worries a bit.

Hayes didn't play.

I don't know 1/2 the players in their lineup.

That's some big outs for the Jackets.

5 4 Fighting · Oct 11, 2014

Is it Confirmed Talbot is starting? We will definitely need Hank against the Isles.

BlueshirtBlitz · Oct 11, 2014

**** Dubi and **** the Jackets.

That being said, I don't think we win with the backup in net. 2-1 OTL.

Glennsoe · Oct 11, 2014

Time for zuke to get a point or 2..

Seems like it's been ages since his last point...

Siamese Dream · Oct 11, 2014

That Columbus lineup looks brutal

Fugazy · Oct 11, 2014

Don't really recognize most of these guys on Columbus. Still have to play a solid game. Looking forward to see Hayes and Duclair in action!

Boruto · Oct 11, 2014

What's so unpleasant about Malone that he's the 14th forward? I'm not advocating for his place on the starting line up but I thought the coach liked him for a spot. Maybe I didn't follow the preseason impressions correctly. He's certainly serviceable and capable of contributing upfront.

Av is just being honest. This teams fast and uptempo . Malone is big, slow but can help on pp. Right now others fit the system better. Malone has the right attitude and s chance will come

Boruto · Oct 11, 2014

There's decent one strike talent on that line up. Overall defense and limiting their puck possession in the offensive zone to take away chance would be nice. They're not going to overwhelming anyone with speed or talent but they can take what's given well throughout their lineup.

There is no spot for him.

He can't skate, he can't do anything other than stand in front of the net.

I really don't understand why we have to say it so many times...

REPORT trolling posts; do NOT reply to them. If you reply to a trolling post, you may yourself get called for the retaliation.

SupersonicMonkey* · Oct 11, 2014

I don't understand Vigneault's insistence on putting two rookies together. Especially when one of them is 19 years old.

Split up the rookies.
