OT: Out of town scoreboard -- division, conference and league wide talk

[TheImpatientPanther]

Figured there should be a dedicated NHL scoreboard thread, to discuss other team reviews, player reviews etc for our division, conference and league.

Currently watching the Stars - Sens game.

Miss Marchment a ton and like the style Dallas plays. Once Benns deal is done, they should be able to really fill out this team depth wise, the offense is getting there.


Senators are fun to watch but will be a handful for us in the 3 games we play them. Their D is pretty thin of course and goaltending is average IMO.
They remind me a bit of us last year but just overall younger and less experienced

Anyone else watching other teams/games so far?

I miss March, but I'm happy he chased the bag. He deserved to get paid like a top 6er.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Wedgewood has looked amazing the two games I've seen him play vs TOR and now OTT.
Should be 2-1 OTT right now

Not buying any of Habs, Sens, Sabres, or Red Wings. You'll see.

Strange how badly MIN has performed so far - at least results wise. They did not have many changes on their roster - the Fiala loss is significant, everything else is pretty much the same. Flower has not been good though at all...
Hoping for Rossi to find his groove - when they actually let him play

 

[Gentle Man]

One more game for Phil Kessel and Yandle is forgotten once again.

We lost Marchment because of your irrelevant ass

Minny is dealing with the same problem we are, but on an EXTREME level.

$13M in dead cap is basically a death blow. Gets closer to 15 the following two years, too.

That is true. Nevertheless this should not an impact on the on-ice performance since they basically have the same line-up as last year - except for Fiala.

But as it is the same as for our team, it's only a few games into the season. They should come around soon enough

The Senators will make it interesting for playoff seeding but ya I just think they're another year away, they will be exciting to watch offensively but I think some of the better defensive teams can snuff that out and once that happens, the defense and goaltending will be exposed.

In saying that, they did overwhelm Dallas for large stretches of the game last night, Wedgewood kept Dallas in it most of the game. Think they run out of gas and will need more help on backend next year to become a real playoff team/threat.


But I agree with the other teams you listed

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Vancouver looks genuinely awful. As bad as their record.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Checking out the Rangers Avalanche game.
Didn't realize Tro was on the Rangers?

the little prick looked good tonight. had the legs going.

 

[NewEraGM]

Anyone starting to sweat about the first round pick this year??

 

[PanthersHockey1]

To me the rangers avs game is a Stanley cup preview

Not at all. We're missing some decent players in Duclair and Ekblad.
The PP is the biggest worry of the team right now, it's keeping us from winning that TB and CHI game.

Montreal has nothing to cheer about for the next 5 years so they will eventually shut up when they draft someone in the 20th range and ruin his development just like they've done the last 15 years or so.

Well to be fair, they cleared out their whole scouting and development team last year.

I'll worry about it in ~4 years if the kid becomes anything of elite talent, for now, we should be focused on making playoffs and pushing that pick back as far back into the 20s as possible.

 

[KW]

I guess when you keep losing in Montreal, at least you can claim that you’re losing in a historic setting (with a lot of past winners spinning in their graves).

 

[I am not exposed]

Marchand returning earlier than expected. Should be playing today.

That's cute, I know they will enjoy looking up in the standings at us this season then.

Anyone gonna watch Yotes first home game tonight?
