NHL Around the NHL - Regular Season 2017-18 II

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Habs also getting destroyed. Fun night so far.

Warms my heart.

Vegas ties it with a minute left and then proceeds to win in OT after Neal scores. Like watching this team with Goucher commentating.

 

[Era of Sanity]

can't believe how horrible the Jets have looked the first two games.

Any word on the bruins getting a new scoreboard? The current one is tiny and outdated by todays standards.

It is in the budget for next summer and is budgeted for $3 million and will be full 4K. The current board was installed in 2006 and it is tired.

The Devils board that was retired was an advanced version of the one currently in the Garden.



The major headache for a new board at TD is the height of the roof.

This board in Newark is a monster

The scoreboard weighs in at 88,041 pounds, covers 9,584.9 square feet and contains over 29 million SMD pixels for fans’ viewing pleasure—the equivalent of 1,300 50-inch TV sets. Comparatively, the scoreboard the Barclays Center at 3,550 and the Pepsi Center at 1,296. The four main screens are made up of 20 individual displays, which can be used to create one large wrap-around screen or be divided into separate screens. It’s 60 feet wide and 38 feet tall, and players featured on the scoreboard will appear four times larger than they actually are.

Those guys must be thrilled to finally have Jagr home.

Same here...I thought Sabres would be much better as well. Only 2 games but....

 

[Bruinaura]

Full interview. Host: "what's with the hair? You have all these mullets and then this one is just... troubling."

I can, they looked like that last year. Some real nice talent but seem clueless for stretches that last far too long out there and yet......extensions for coaches/GM`s etc...

 

[ODAAT]

Rangers /Leafs game is a blast. 9 goals so far.

only thing missing was a half dozen fights or so to call it a throwback game. Leafs D is suspect but man are they talented young group.

No positivity for leaf team here...Please? lol

I think the Preds are experiencing the Stanley cup hangover. Down 4-0 in the third.

Might be but IMO, Fisher retiring, Neal gone who provided some decent offense are key losses but the one I think that hurts them most is the absence of Ellis on the blueline

haha, I`ve never really had alot of hatred for the Leafs, maybe that will change as they become not just more competitive but potentially one of the teams to beat in the East. I like being entertained when I watch the game, I flipped the Sens/Wings tilt on for all of 5 minutes and it was painful, switched over the Leafs/Rags game, complete opposite

I think there are far too many fans here who just don`t believe/accept how good the Leafs can and likely will be this year. Their biggest issue ironically after years of futility is how will they pay on that young talent when their contract time comes up? Sounds nuts but their window to win might sooner than later until the hefty paydays are due

Ian Cole of the Pens loses a few chicklets. Slapshot hit him directly in the mouth.

Thank you, I was just browsing Twitter and saw it, truly disgusting, times like this I wish social media never existed

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

I'm glad Leafs D still sucks since their offence is dynamite. They can probably outscore themselves out of trouble on most nights, but some of the stronger defensive teams in the league might cause them trouble.

They have an 1980’s Oiler light look and feel. Good bet that there are both more than a few blowouts and really high scoring games for the Leafs this year. Hockey fans will certainly be entertained watching their games this season, especially their long suffering faithful.

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Warms my heart.

Couple recaps this morning lamented about their horrid defence. Gonna be a long season for Price. Can’t be excepted to keep your team in games night after night when you spend the majority of the time in your own end, allow 40 plus shots, commit gaffs and have the D men being turned inside out on a regular basis. Should start a pool on the hockey life expectancy of their GM. Have a feeling Christmas will deliver a big ole lump of coal to Mr. Bergevin this year.

 

[Bruinaura]

Habs playing again tonight. Only game on the schedule today. May have to tune in.

Will be an odd game, both teams having been lit up the night before although the Rags certainly made their`s more interesting before surrendering the final 3 goals

 

[missingchicklet]

I hope Bergevin stays as the GM of the Habs for a long time. He has made a mess of that team and I'm enjoying every second of it.

Has anyone listened to the B's new radio guy? Haven't had a chance myself. Will miss Goucher for sure. He had a way of making even the gloomiest games exciting.

Unfair to whoever has to fill his spot... He was so good. I imagine he'll he calling prime time games soon, he has such an amazing voice and passion for the game.

"Get the duck boats ready!"
"Bergeron! Bergeron!"

I rarely, if ever, listen on the radio but the highlights I watch with 98.5 commentating give me goosebumps. Very happy he's getting a chance on TV.

Dafoomie's game 7 video with Goucher and Beers dubbed over Doc and Eddie is just epic. Some big shoes to fill for sure.
