Caps finally get a win against a bottom-feeder! And then have four games in a row against teams that are currently winless. I genuinely wonder if they booted Kuzy off PP1 as punishment for being garbage or if they're really just interested in getting different looks after whiffing against Boston and Toronto.

I'm trying to find something I can chuckle at in a positive way and not a "I'm just going to walk out into the ocean" manner regarding the CBJ in the first three games. One of them is that there are three players with multiple points so far this season: Johnny Gaudreau, Gus Nyquist, and Erik Gudbranson. One of these things is NOT like the others...

I'm sure. Right? Ornery and Hornery posted:Matty Berniers seems like a fun and good young player The plan is that he eventually develops as a 1C or 2C but as a rookie, he's likely to play just 10 games and get sent down to the minors so they don't burn a year of his ELC and cheap control. I know you're a Mariners fan so think about what they did with Kelenic last year by not playing him until May. Same idea. As for their current plan to actually make that happen, Dave Hakstol has decided it is best to play him for 5 minutes and scratch him instead of playing because he is an awful coach.

Having "Mojo" be promoted seems like shuffling deck chairs. Haven't watched much Caps since the cup run but they seemed old and listless and drat John Carlson went from a top D man to a guy I feel like could get worked in a high level beer league.

Keumper was very solid last night and stopped all the bad turnover breakaways that always made me cringe in the past. Kuzy’s in the doghouse cause he’s been playing like poo poo all over. Was hoping good Kuzy would show up this year like last year. But it’s bad Kuzy so far.

The Canucks have had 8 goals against this year after 2 games and JT Miller has been on the ice for all 8. It would be peak Vancouver Canucks if, as soon as he signed his extension, he immediately imploded and became a huge albatross of a contract. Only 2 games in but why can’t we ever have fun?

It's been the most anticipated game of the regular season since the NFL schedule came out in the spring (For those who don't know, it's a rematch of the "13 Seconds" playoff game from January).

Ginette Reno posted:Pens look pretty good so far. Granted they played Arizona and then Tampa on a back to back with Tampa having Elliot in net. They've looked very balanced so far. Of course it's the first time in forever everyone enters the season 'heathy'. The 3rd pairing and PK still raises questions...PoJ has looked like he's having a little difficulty with adjusting, but hasn't look completely out of place. I actually think Ruuta has been a bit disappointing and would appear Sullivan thinks so as well with him only playing 16:45 a night so far though 4 of those minutes are on the PK. I'm glad Sullivan looks like he's trying to reduce reliance on Letang PK'ing...he only has a minute thirty total.

It would be peak Vancouver Canucks if, as soon as he signed his extension, he immediately imploded and became a huge albatross of a contract. Well, he certainly wasn't signed for his defensive impacts. More likely is he simply regresses to near-PPG in the short term which isn't enough to make up for his defense.

Like there are some players you think "well their defense is awful but if they ever figure that out they'll be a dynamo". Like that year McDavid was dogshit defensively, then when he fixed that over the summer because he is a hockey machine he had that crazy super MVP season. JT Miller is not a player who is going to figure out defense.

It's the goaltending. Also Lindy Ruff. Mostly the goaltending. From the game I saw last week Blackwood was beat clean by shots from the outside slot area which went easily 3 or 4 inches inside the post. That's super bad. And unlike Hakstol goaltending which seems to give up an inordinate east/west big movement lateral chances these were dead straight from the same angle the goalie should account for.
