2018-2019 NHL Thread – Thunderstorm Warning

[61raddeac]

Team NA is so fun. Out-shooting Finland 43-25 on the way to a 4-1 win is preeetty good. I'd like to see them play Torts-coached USA, but I don't think USA is making it out of the group round. Hopefully they take down Russia tonight! (ESPN2 at 8pm, fyi)

What's going on with Nichushkin, 61? Is he gonna go to the KHL, or is this just negotiating?

Edit: Looks like Team Europe just took a 2-1 lead over the Czech Republic. 15 mins left. USA kind of needed Europe to lose, here.

Wow, Val sent down to second tier in Russia (VHL). Seems like his attitude is worse over there.

Excited about tomorrow night. Injuries have been brutal so far this year. 10 new guys on the 23 man.

Will the Canes be competitive or nah

Picked by three Puck Daddy editors / writers as the most underrated team:

NHL 2016-17 predictions: Overhyped players, teams; McDavid’s points

Jack Eichel's ankle injury and Crosby's concussion are a bummer to start the season.

Will the Canes be competitive or nah

should be. verge of playoffs I'd guess.

Matthews has a hat trick in his first game.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

Are 4 goals good for an NHL debut?

 

[EatLeadCommie]

Holy shit. Kid is insane.

Matthews has a hat trick in his first game.

I expect a reasoned response to this from the Toronto fans and media.

But seriously, this has to be one of the most impressive debuts at anything ever

 

[towelie99]

I want to see the kid get 5!

 

[61raddeac]

baby steps

Are 4 goals good for an NHL debut?

I mean, it's not bad.

I'm simultaneously super happy for the kid and his family and dreading what Toronto will do to him. The expectations may be slightly high.

 

[Deadbolt]

And Toronto still managed to lose the game. That's the most Toronto thing imaginable.

 

[Screamindemon3]

That feels to me like one of those sports records that will never be broken

 

[Deadbolt]

Until they take away all the goalie pads, anyway.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

My head is going to explode tonight.

Caps-Pens season opener (and Pittsburgh banner raising ) is at the exact same time as Dodgers-Nats game 5.

 

[dtdf]

C-A-P-S!! CAPS, CAPS, CAPS!!

 

[Screamindemon3]

Brrrrrr Brrrrrr Brrrrrrrr

LETS GO CANES!

 

[YoungBuck95]

CANES!!!

 

[Spot the Wonder]

Bad night for DC sports.

Canes collapse in 3rd period.

Pens win without Crosby, raise banner number 4.
