The NHL (Hockey) Thread: 2015 - 2016 (Let's see how Kessel does on a real team)

The banner of war will soon be raised and the massacre will begin again! We are definitely going to need some Turbo Teuvo this year, we have been wounded in the off season.

Just look at all that ice! 355 precious stones

Also, what Raffi Torres did was pretty dirty but am I the only one who thinks 41 games is a little too much?

It won’t stay 41 games, that was to send a message to other players that the league ain’t taking any shit with headshots…commit one, and lose half your annual salary.

I’m curious to see how Raffi’s appeal will go, considering how many times he’s already been suspended for dirty hits.

The Toronto Sports Network has started a passive-aggressive attitude towards McDavid now.

lol they just subbing him in for the Great One?

dirty fucking habs, spearing Bernier in the chest in a failed attempt to score a goal.

GG Rangers. They were the better team tonight. The Hawks have a fresh group so I have no doubt once everyone settles in, they’ll be the master class once again.

Leafs lost, but their entire gameplay looked so much different. It looked like rookies, playing pro hockey. Instead of bums, failing at everything.

Word was great watching the banner raise tonight and the cubs winning a playoff game. I was flipping back and forth like a mad man. We’ll hold that 1st game L its gonna take some time for the new guys to gel but we gonna be alright! Long season ahead let the championship defense beginnn

Nice fight to start the Vancouver vs Calgary game last night.

Damn Hawks! Rangers looked like they’re gonna pick up where they left off. That’s a pretty good damn team, Idk how they lost last year’s ECF.

Probably because the Rangers still have a terrible power play, and special teams can be a death sentence in this league. That’s how Gretzky got so good. Other teams would try to fight him, or play dirty, go to the box, and he’d just rip it up on the power play. He literally changed how playoff hockey is played, and a lot of teams are still trying to catch up.

Could use some better D too. Should trade us Nash and some draft picks and prospects for Phaneuf.

Good job Hawks! Got kinda scared at the end of the 3rd, but they fought it out like champs.

Phaneuf wouldn’t make the Rangers 3rd pair are you joking me look at this mess of a post

I was at the opening game for the Kings. We got our ass handed to us, but the Sharks got they ass beat. Im ok with this :slight_smile:

Download NHL Supercard if you haven’t.
If you have played NBA or WWE supercard… It’s the same, but with HOCKEY.

pens haven’t done well through 2 but what are you going to do. lots of new faces.

the phil has the only goal on the season thus far so that’s kinda cool. all the word on the street is that sid loves having him on his line so that’s a positive.

wait till Sid finds out Phil doesn’t know how backchecking works…

Canucks LOL

Oilers 2 for 2 on the weekend?? I’ll take it!

Depressing stat of the day. It took the Oil until Dec 30 last year to get 2 wins against the division.

The consensus in the city seems to be that the penguins wanted to build a team that is all offense. Flower is in for a long season, hopefully that doesn’t fuck with him because he is so emotional.

Hasn’t worked out quite yet but the team is full of new faces so they’re learning to play with each other.
