OT: Around the NHL - Keep on truckin'

[AuroraBorealis]

During the summer I was told by trusted HF boards sources that Hornqvist was washed.

Now I don't know what to believe.

Canes play-by-play guy just referred to Reimer as “Optimus Reim” when making an crazy save

 

[ColePens]

I am very very very pumped for these outdoor games. We lucked out because Vegas was getting an outdoor game and I'm happy it's going to be in this setting.

I also am really bored watching games this season. EVERY game is the same 2 teams.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

The Wings missing out on the top pick again would be hilarious.

I didn't think they could worse than last season, and feel a bit like I'm holding their beer

Thats quality

 

[BHD]

The Canes look really, really good.

 

[66-30-33]

Reimer’s only been on 4 teams. Thought he’d been on more

Not everyone is as good as Chucky.

 

[ColePens]

Oh f*** yes. It was Luftman/Weekes earlier and now Luftman/Rupp. THIS is awesome.

 

[Tom Hanks]

The Canes look really, really good.

 

[wheelz87]

8 goals now.
Thanks JR

I will never let you down with my hockey analysis. I have never... EVER been wrong. That includes Mike Zigomanis.

The line that I love about Hornqvist.. "He will slow down!"

Yeah... we all f***ing do. But that dude's heart will never stop. And I'd rather have a guy like him on the team until he retires. Even in a loss, I knew Patric would go out there and give every ounce of himself til the final whistle. Down 5 goals? Hornqvist will play the final 3 minutes like it's a Cup Final OT.

Hornqvist seemed like the exact right firey personality for a team trying to get over the hump like Florida. He will be productive as long as his body holds up.

I’d hate to be in his body at 45. I’m starting to get aches now at 45 but my body takes no where near the abuse his does.

I asked in their GDT if we can have Horny back, we will see. Maybe he will come back.

 

[BHD]

They’re a threat for sure. Goaltending could be a letdown, but Mrazek and Reimer have looked good.

They said no.

I'd imagine that millions in the bank and a few Cup rings on the mantle can go a long way to ease the aches.

I don't know man... I feel like he needs that pain to live.

Believe in Huberdeau.

I’m glad he worked out here and I’m glad for what he did for us, but he had slowed down in his role here.

We don’t have a Huberdeau on this team. I wish we did, but Crosby and Malkin aren’t in their prime. We can’t surround them with players in their mid 30s like Hornqvist.

Matheson was something we need and he’s showing flashes of what he can bring. I think it’s fair to say it is a win / win at this point for both teams as most of us said it could potentially be.

^ Holy shit.

I tell this story all the time. When he came to Pittsburgh with (BC?), my dad and I went to see him play. He was so freaking good. He is so controlled on his skates in small areas. It's so beautiful to watch.

I get it. I understand it. I'm just saying as a fan of hockey and wanting to invest my time... i'd rather watch Hornqvist. And with POJ, I would argue we didn't really need Matheson. Time is a valuable thing in life. Watching some of these games makes me really question what I'm doing wasting a few hours on piss poor effort.
