League News: 2018-19 NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) Vol. 4

[895]

I just cheered for a ratface goal.

I hope CBJ has fun with Tampa.

 

[kicksavedave]

Rooting for the Bruins is such a foreign feeling.

Its working. 4-0 B's.

 

[txpd]

Leafs playing with their backup goalie. Could bode well for Carolina.

Its better than that. The back up goalie is the only Leaf to show up for the game so far

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Toronto sure is stinking it up

Cbus not too far behind TO.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Tempo the Wings top lines play at is really impressive. Bertuzzi with his 2nd, 2-1 Wings

 

[txpd]

This is the CBJ team people are afraid of??

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Columbus 2nd intermission: Torts no doubt ripping the team (another) new A in the locker room.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

No - this is the one everybody laughs at. The problem is this team didn't play the last few games, so you never know who the hell is going to turn up.
I will continue the same mantra I've been chanting for a while now: Canes is our preference in round 1. Let the Lightning play Columbus.

Worked well for them. 5-0 Bruins now. LOL

Yeah they started Korpisalo in the 3rd and he immediately let one in, haha.
Am I an ass for thinking Marchand is a selfish prick for racing to grab that puck when he got the assist for his 100th point? (In the context of how humble players usually are and it's often a team mate who would
collect the puck for them etc. Not Marchand - he was clearly thinking all about that 100th point and then bam! That's MY puck).

Man the Florida points would have been nice as I watch these games. If we lose to a desperate Montreal team we could be playing the isles for the metro with the loser getting Pitt instead of Carolina.... ugh

Caps didn’t look so hot last night themselves

I don't think our outcome has anything to do with who or how the other team is playing. Its 100% about our effort, our GAS factor. Play like vs TB, we can beat anyone including TB in TB. Play like vs FL and we won't beat anyone. Its on us, not them.

and? what does my comment about Toronto have to do with the Capitals?

 

[Portable Mink]

Whoever said Toronto suck just made Tavares score. Fail.

How many new holes can a single ass hold? Whatever the number is, Torts definitely pushing the envelope lately

 

[troyerlaw]

My bad, i thought you were talking about CBJ.

And I was just pointing out, on any given night, a team can look like ass

 

[marcel snapshot]

To me, it's more like: guys work so hard for so long just to get within spitting distance of the NHL, that on any given night when even a high-skilled player is like, meh not interested in maximal level tonight - there's a ton of qualified guys willing to say "that's not a problem for me." It's really one of the great things about this league

 

[sycamore]

Toronto's backup goalie is pretty pathetic.

 

[Calicaps]

Totally. He's repulsive in every way.

 

[sycamore]

Perhaps the most shocking news in this crazy night is Montreal actually beating Tampa now 3-2 in the 3rd!

 

[Calicaps]

This. Also, "GAS factor" has real playoff avi potential. Too late tho.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Damn I'm falling in love with the Red Wings

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Habs now 4-2 over TBL with <10 left. Game's not over but looking good for Mtl.

 

[kicksavedave]

4-2 now.

The bottom three are in a dogfight, and CBus just peed on the floor.
