The worlds greatest Toilet Bowl is full of morons from top to bottom. Bowl full of temporary morons because they were told to be for the night. Upper levels full of full time morons sprinkled between decent people who paid their hard earned cash to be there.

Hischier's back check on the play where Lovejoy got called for hooking was amazing. He prevented a backdoor goal by chasing down the guy being passed to, open, on the side of the net. (As Dano noticed in the telecast). The kid is amazing, doing that kind of thing as a rookie? Wow. Patrice Bergeron play. On the other hand Nico had better learn to keep his head down a little, to keep out of harms way, because he's already a marked man.
Nash's elbow to his head should be looked at by the league. Definite intent to injure. Ti Domi class.

I was stuck with the Rags broadcast and they even complimented that back check. I'm also glad Nico's body held up on the Nash play.

20:22 with the first two games of the season only playing 16 minutes. The last 3 he's played 20:54, 22:20 and 25: 44
Greene is playing a lot. I don't know if it is too much or not? We'll only know as the season progresses.

20-22 minutes isn't more than he should be able to handle. Playing 25+ a night would be too much in my opinion, but if he's averaging in the low 20s he should be fine.

So Im not sure what happened with MoJo and Zacha but if it wasnt injury related, then hopefully they learned the lesson.
I wanted to pay attention to Santini this game on all of his shifts and ever shift it seemed he took his man totally out of the play or was in the right spot. Santini is getting better game by game and with Greene and Severson playing well now, add Santini and thats a nice top 3. Butcher is smart and just seems to have a 6th sense to do the little things to make up for his lack of speed. By the end of the year i believe Greene Severson Santini and Butcher will be handling most of our top 4 minutes.

Missed the Nash elbow till now. He better get suspended. If our league wants to protect its players from slashed to the gloves then it damn well better sit a guy for elbowing someone’s head.

MoJo, Zacha, and Hayes were benched for lazy/poor play. I agree that Santini had a great game. He's really shot up the depth chart to start the season.

Missing defensive assignments and turning the puck over with blind drop passed in your own defensive zone that result in easy scoring chances should get you sat.

Good thing it's coming off a win at MSG, would be an even longer 2 days on the forums if dealt a loss.
Two hot teams next in Tampa and Ottawa with San Jose on back to back (long flight from Ottawa back), maybe DeBoer with a lose could get canned

We are at the top of the Metro Division and the Rangers at the bottom.
It's like the entire world is at peace even if it is for just one brief moment.

Going to be a tough week. Ottawa has some defensive issues, so hopefully we can exploit that. Tampa is going to be a very difficult game even if we play perfectly.Two hot teams next in Tampa and Ottawa with San Jose on back to back (long flight from Ottawa back), maybe DeBoer with a lose could get canned
After those three games we're off for a week. Great scheduling.

I haven't seen any trade Zacha posts in the last few days. It was more an offseason topic when people had the speculation for Hanifin.

I missed the game, but watching highlights and reading this thread it sounds like we got our asses kicked and we only won because of the fourth line, Kinkaid, and LOLPavelec?

That's not entirely accurate. We were putrid in the first period, we were out shot 14-3, and Kinkaid bailed us out. Hynes benched three players and rolled new lines in the second and we controlled the play a lot, out shot the Rags 12-3 and scored 2 goals. Got another goal a minute into the 3rd, then held on for dear life in the rest of the period. Kinkaid saved us again, and had some tired legs near the end. Lots of stupid penalties again.

Corsi is GROSSLY overrated
Didnt realize that. That's a moronic rule change. But I guess it accomplishes two things the league wants, shorter game to appease their TV masters, and more scoring. When the day comes when they increase the size of the net, I'll stop watching hockey altogether.
Pretty much agree. A 4-1 record, but they've played some poor teams and won games when they werent great.
The only playoff contender they played absolutely bitchslapped them. It's a work in progress, and at the end of the day this team is greatly improved since last year, which is all I care about. Baby steps to a return to the playoffs.
Not in an EN situation when you're battling in the defensive zone. He goes about a buck sixty or so tops and gets easily manhandled on the boards. Just a silly hockey decision IMO.

Karlsson will probably be back on tuesday Boucher said so he'll be another problem to deal with.
I just got done finishing the game, I had something else to do last night and went in full shutdown mode with the phone so it was never spoiled for me, just an awesome win especially after that horrible first period.
Butcher has just been ridiculously good, they better start selling some player t shirts for him at the arena, this kid seems legit.
Kinkaid was on point tonight and he definitely earned himself a game next week in one of the back to backs.
Tuesday can't get here quick enough, this has been so much fun so far.
Also, f*** the Rangers!
