The Out of Town Thread part XLVII All talk from around the league here

[OneSharpMarble]

Wish we still had Cammy.

You're the only one.

 

[Et le But]

Don't know why, but I'm almost glad to see Bouwmeester playing good hockey again. Seems like it has been a couple of years.

I still like Bouwmeester, I feel like he's been a victim of circumstances. Overpaid and not really a game changer, but he's not the problem there.

 

[Overtime Period]

i took Bouwmeester with my last pick for fantasy hockey haha

 

[Et le But]

Meanwhile, Saku with another assist..

Ha, nice.

man he's good on face-offs

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

I'm just gonna say this again:

Gaborik, Nash, Richards is going to be a dirty, dirty line for NYR....

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Ageless Koivu... okay maybe a little aging but he's still great to watch. Winnik looks like a solid pickup for Anaheim. His shot % is ridiculous right now but he's a useful player even when he hits the drought.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Good debut win for Fasth. Little Roy windmill on that last one, lol.

 

[CP31]

Ovi!

 

[Et le But]

Ovenchicken finally scores.

 

[Theosis]

Ovenchicken finally scores.

He's roaring back.

 

[Et le But]

He's roaring back.

Maybe he will even score more goals than Joel Ward this year.

 

[PunkinDrublic*]

Oh goodnes Buffalo's defense is pourrous.

 

[Theosis]

Ovechkin just missed a goal on the empty net from the blue line... Actually he had passed the blue line and was at the top of the circle...

 

[CP31]

Poor Ovi

 

[Et le But]

Poor Ovi

He's the new Gomez.

 

[LeHab]

Ribs with 6pts in 5games. Not too shabby.

Yeah well, Janne Niinimaa has 4 points in 6 games and is a -7 for Asplöven in the Allsvenskan!

 

[Mrb1p]

Oh goodnes Buffalo's defense is pourrous.

Yet Subban is not good enough to be their 1st D

 

[sharks9]

Philly's down 3-1 to TB in the first.

Only a matter of time before an offer sheet comes

 

[Rutabaga]

Its not that much of a surprise, but im still stunned by how large is the difference between the level of the teams of the two conferences.

I mean, there is what, 3, maybe 4 teams only that have both the competence and the depth to do something good this year in the East, its really shocking.

 

[Et le But]

The east is always behind a bit but it is especially incompetent this year. The only team that looks like a contender without a lot of luck is the Bruins I'm afraid.

At first, i thought that Pittsburgh was still good enough on D to deal with Fleury, but it seems that is not the case, and indeed, Boston seems really superior to the rest of the teams.

In fact, assuming that we manage to play with our roster to find a better balance within the lineup about our depth, i think that if we are just not as unlucky as last year, playoffs are not going to be that difficult to reach.

Meh, it's still early. Some teams are having slow starts and teams like CHI and SJ will obviously slow down.
