The NHL Thread: It’s Back

The Devils aren’t going to contend this year, but they should be interesting enough as a fan. Jack Hughes is very cool and his development is exciting. They also have enough emerging talent to potentially surprise.

So excited to see Wings smoking the champs. Then….

Oh well. At least they will be exciting to watch this year. Should see them here is Philly and looking to go to Shitsburgh to see them there.

Well that was a pretty weirf game. They were up 4-1 when Larkin had a meltdown and got tossed. They probably would have held on if he just turns the other cheek.

Opening night was Tuesday. Bruins first game is Saturday? That’s fucking weird

Meltdown? Righteous anger!

So tonight is the night where it decides if I fuck up my sleep schedule during the season to watch few games so the Habs better play good. Not getting my hopes up.

It’s nice to be on the other side of “LOL Fleury”

Pens score 4 in the first to chase him.

Never good when a goal is scored and your goalie is barely in the frame :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I went to bed after the Rangers scored the lead last night. Overall it wan’t fun to watch. 5 shots in the first period including 2PPs. They have to get some better scores before I decide to mess with the sleeping schedule again. For now its watching early games hopefully with some german action.

This is pretty unsurprising news, though tragic nonetheless. I guess the most surprising thing is his widow saying she was shocked it was drugs and he “never showed any signs of a struggle at home”. Later, the article says he had been to rehab. I guess denial is a pretty strong drug too.

NHL players take a lot of painkillers, even when they aren’t recovering from injuries. It’s actually surprising that we don’t have more incidents like this.

TSN (I think) has a good 30 min interview/mini-documentary a while back with Ryan Kesler about how fucked up he is post retirement. He basically destroyed his body to max out his on ice contributions during his career. Pretty intense stuff.

It was either that or suicide based on how you heard nothing. So effing sad. I wonder if started with prescriptions or not. Eff the Sacklers regardless.

21 games to Evander Kane for the fake vax.

I’d be looking at his docs and seeing if anyone else’s look similar. He can’t be the only one. Like lol Grudog in 640k emails.

Rangers fans watching Shesterkin steal games like Henrik used to:

gave it another shot: 0:2 after 4 minutes, solid,

Sharks, eh?

Anyone following the Blackhawks scandal? Bettman trying to make Goodell look good.

It’s hard to avoid it.

At least heads are rolling. It’s a decade late but its something.

Although no punishment is really adequate, I think this probably keeps Quenville out of the HHOF.
