Around The NHL - True Gritty(ness)

[TheLegend]

So many goals being scored around the league seems like rubbing salt in our wound...

 

[Name Nameless]

Rubbing??? How 'bout POUNDING???

Wouldn't have swapped results with the Rangers. Even if they have scored goals.

Not yet...

Foegele looks like a player with Carolina. Loved watching him with Strome in Erie. Really wish the Coyotes targeted him while his cost was lower.

 

[moosemeister]

Carolina seems like a fun team to root for this year

I saw very little of the CBJ game today, but listened to the majority of it on Sirius and followed up with the game summary. My take away/s:

Duclair is still Duclair.

The CBJ radio guy is obnoxious.

In case anyone was ever wondering if people connected to the NHL peruse HF on occasion:

Man coyotes players would hate us hahaha

Haha I wonder though?! I feel like (for the most part) the posters here on forum 40 aren't mean about their analysis.
Sometimes maybe not so nice though... But it's not like being a Yotes fan is cakewalk with what the past has brought.

I feel like most here have a sense of humor about it all lol.

Circa 2014-2015 we were pretty mean TBH. Of course those teams were trash heaps as opposed to just the trash pile we've got going these days.

Oilers are now in dead last.

Mike Smith getting lit the f*** up by St. Louis only two nights after a 43 save shutout against Nashville. Vintage inconsistent Smitty

 

[SR]

Mathews has NINE goals in four games. Unbelievable.

Edit: 5 games.

Pulled after two periods.

Smith's season so far:

Game 1: .818 save percentage
Game 2: .800 save percentage
Game 3: 1.000 save percentage
Game 4: .792 save percentage

So glad we don't have to deal with his shit anymore.

Can't wait til he sits down with Shane Doan in that free agency courting process

Two of the goals I saw tonight were absolute muffins to. Of course he shook his head and stared at Stone.

 

[Mosby]

He assisted on the one because he went to play the puck behind the net and missed it

A classic. Haha

Here's Smitty's oopsy



Edit: this went on to be the game winner lol.

Also - anyone else loving Vegas off to a 1-4 start?

Also - anyone else loving Vegas off to a 1-4 start?

I was just coming here to post this. Still super early in the season and good teams have done this before...thing is I'm still not convinced they are good.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Also - anyone else loving Vegas off to a 1-4 start?

Not at all. I'd rather that they lose to us and only to us, and beat the crap out of LA, Anaheim and San Jose.

Circa 2014-2015 we were pretty mean TBH.

Hey now easy with that "we" stuff. You'll pretty much never see me on the player hate train and I know I'm not the only one.

He is exactly who we said he was (well, when I say "we," I mean everyone who recognized that he was a very talented but extremely inconsistent goalie, not the people who said he was a Vezina-caliber goalie upon whose shoulders the fate of our franchise rested ). I'm kinda over the schadenfreude with him, though. The fact that Chayka had the stones to get out from under his awful contract really calmed me down a lot!

Also - anyone else loving Vegas off to a 1-4 start?

No. I love the Knights and want them to succeed as much as possible as long as it's not at our expense.

@The Feckless Puck - I agree on Smith. I’m glad he’s gone. He stayed a little too long. He also gave us the only really good season we’ve had in these last 20+ years. I was cheering against him last year. This year, he may as well be Ben Bishop or Brian Elliott to me. He’s just a guy.
