OT: Around the NHL | Good riddance, Rivalry Night

[Tom Hanks]

Watching the Nucks game. Really liking Petterson. Set Goldobin up on a platter but he muffed it.

Canucks fans are all jacked up over him. There team still sucks and Benning is a moron but they have some decent high end young talent.

They're acting like he's the next big superstar.

I am getting texts from idiots in my office...

"Bro, Pettersson is like Crosby level already!"

Me...

 

[Jaded-Fan]

A statement W. The Caps are going to be an extremely tough out in the playoffs again. Like they always are.

I am sure they will be fine. But beginning of the season blowouts, either receiving or giving, are pretty meaningless. The Pens suffered through a couple of them at the start of last year if I remember.

Yeah my friends don’t go that far. They think (hope) he’ll be really good. One guy thinks they’ll finish below Ottawa. Not sure I’d go that far. They’d want to win the lottery to get a second Hughes brother.

They've been trying to tank for something for a while, might as well go all in this year for Hughes.

 

[Gurglesons]

If Pettersson pans out, Horvat - Pettersson is a solid one - two punch.

Also, this just in.. Peters who never got the Canes to the playoffs his entire tenure there is still a bad coach. Imagine that..

 

[Gurglesons]

He is now a real Cap

I just mean, there is like one team in the league that if you taunt is likely going to punch you in the face or elbow you in the back of the head.

All of these hacks out of the Detroit coaching pipeline suck. All of them.

I just will never get why people get hard for Calgary.

Defense is a year older, they traded away their best defenseman for Lindholm who is the definition of mediocre.

Neal was a solid pick up, Hanifin at his very peak is basically what Hamilton brought them last year.

Just a weird squad.

Obviously, a hot take since they've played one game, but their summer was just weird to me and I just don't get the hype they are getting.

 

[Andy99]

This Ducks-Sharks game is awesome fun...best hockey of the night...hope the Sharks can pull this out...

 

[TNT87]

So this Grant Paulsen is some special kind of douche isn't he? His tweets are just so moronic. He's the type of kid that when he is losing at a board game would take it and throw it across the room or take his ball and go home because he losing. It's no wonder Caps fans are brain dead when it comes to Wilson and I'm sure this clown is the leader.

Isn't he related to Scott in some way? I remember seeing this kid when he was on Letterman thinking he was special because he talked to sports athletes. Now he's pouting like an adolescent.

 

[HuskerTornado]

"incredible defense the sharks have", they said. Ducks up 5-2

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Hopefully the Caps used up all their goals tonight.

 

[Tom Hanks]

"incredible defense the sharks have", they said. Ducks up 5-2

Karlsson off to a good start. -2

Jones let in 5 from 15 shots. He probably had 15 shots last night

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Should have kept Rowney.

 

[Turin]

35 shots, 2 goals for and 5 against.

Most Bill Peters statline ever.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Should have kept Rowney.

He got 15:29 minutes, wow. Only needs 1 more goal to equal last years total.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Marchand up to his BS again. Jumping a player. Hope he gets a few games.

I hate the Sharks, so it's hilarious to see Karlsson getting lit up.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Who Eller?

Eh... I agree in principle. And if there is a bigger bag of dicks league-wide than Tom Wilson it MIGHT be Marchand. But like was discussed above... taunting the Bruins bench up by a touchdown with that animal on the team? Not just a chump move... flat out stupid. Maybe Eller doesn't value the (presumably) functioning status of his brain? He is a Capital, I suppose.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this guys... I'm pretty subtle about it... but I really, really, really despise the Capitals. I just wanted to clear that up to avoid any confusion.

He threw 5 punches at the guy before he even got his gloves off. The celly wasn’t that bad. If Marchand has to punch someone in the head 5 times before he can get his gloves off then he really needs to get together with Tom Wilson and go bowling.

 

[EightyOne]

I dunno man. You skate right at the opposing bench waving your little wrist...with a head bob job looks like he might have talked some shit too, you're kinda stirring the shit and asking for retaliation, no?

*edit: I'll also say, I'm on some sort of anti-celly path, currently. Just do the classic yay I scored move and hug your teammates. The f*** we doing flapping like birds and shit?

He’s going to his bench. Doesn’t mean you should get jumped. I guess I’m not as insecure as some hockey players.

 

[EightyOne]

He skated to the three quarter point of the Bruins bench. He could have handled it much better. He knew exactly what he was doing. And so do I. Seventh goal. Just skate off the ice in a more direct route to your bench.

Marchand is a loose cannon. And he disappoints me every year. He can't stop. So much skill. So much dumb.

Anaheim Duck Carter Rowney on pace for 82 goals.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

I drafted Rask and Martin Jones in fantasy
