This seems like a pretty silly thread TBH.
LOL what are we supposed to say.
I’m sure this board will react to it the same way it reacts to everything else.
1 part panic, 1 part hysteria, 1 part reasonable and 1 part highly confrontational.

Then the Isles board explodes, the WS builds a shrine in his image and life goes on.

If Tavares doesn't score a hat trick in game 1 I might lose my mind.

It's the Habs...

Marshy, I don't think anyone will get a hat-trick in that game.

Matthews 2G 2A
Marner 2G 2A
Tavares 2G 2A
Nylander 2G 1A
Reilly 1G, 3A
Dermott 1G, 2A
Johnson 1G 1A
Kadri 1G, 1A
Hyman 1G, 0A
Gardiner, 0G 4A
Marleau 0G, 3A
Brown 0G, 2A
Kapanen 0G, 2A

Anderson with a 0.923 S% facing 13 shots and letting in one goal because the puck didn't come into our end for a whole 23 minutes.

In that game it might be one of the first times ever on proline where the win by 2 or more pays less than the win by one. :nod:

North!
if he does start slow the main boards will have the biggest s*** eating grin, but as long as we are winning, I know JT will turn it on at some point.

I'll come to HFboards and discuss my displeasures in a very arrogant manner.

If the JT-Marner-Hyman combo gets off to a slow start poor Mitch will get the Nylander treatment by Babs and be demoted to the 4th line.

If we are winning I won't care, and unless we are looking clearly lost and the underlying support it, I'd write it off as an aberration.

I fully expect Marner to start slow, so with that logic it's definitely possible for Tavares to start slow as well.

If we're winning though, I'll be super happy.

If we're below .500 I definitely won't be concerned either


It's a long season folks

Think someone asked something like that when Matthews was about to make his debut. That’s also something I feared before that Sens game bc Matthews was hyped like he will be McDavid.
Of course he settled it with 4 goals and everyone in the Hockey universe went WOW, he is the real deal.
Personally, I think JT will be fine. To me points will come for players like JT, as long as they keep engaging in each shift.

Even if JT starts with 2 points in 10 games or something like that, I am still pretty sure he will end up with his 80-90 points by the end of the season.

The winning is the key, and so is spreading the wealth in terms of the forward lines. The idea is that it all can't possibly go cold at the same time and for too long.
