yup, they had a triple jersey toss at the home opener and the crowd booed the guy they signed to a 7 year extension (that doesn't kick in until next year) last month.

The crowd booed basically everything in the third period. It was awesome (for Buffalo)

Caggiula was decent enough in preseason. Wonder with Poulin coming up if it means Guentzel is going to be a bit longer term too.....I was actually wondering wtf with Ruhwedel playing and went to go check and it turns out they were running 7 D against CBJ. Even with that Letang played nearly 23:30 and Dumo 20+. Very interestingly (and something I brought up before) Pettersson has moved from playing 16:30 per in 2020/21 and then a low of 15:40 last year to 18:20 so far this year. 16 flat for Dumo, Pettersson, and Petry at 5v5 with the uptick in Petterson's ice time being PK.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Gotta admit, even getting the backup treatment, I wasn't sure how the CBJ would do against the Rags after playing well for 40 but imploding last night, but Daniil Tarasov's finally gonna get his first career win. :toot:

I think it's the second CBJ goalie in a row to get their first win against the NYR on the road, with the last being Matiss Kivlenieks. :rip:

Also, :lol:, Erik Gudbranson scored.

Rangers showed a lot of weaknesses in this game, with Halak giving up some soft goals, Reaves and Carpenter continuing to not look like NHL players, and the Jones-Schneider pairing struggling. The young defensemen will improve, but the 37-year-old goalie and depth players in their 30s won't. Chytil getting hurt (day-to-day) hurts their forward depth. Vesey was a healthy scratch so he'll draw into the lineup, but I'm curious to see some of the guys in Hartford get a look. Rydahl looked better than Carpenter in preseason, so perhaps we'll get a look at him, or Will Cuylle who is tied for second in scoring in Hartford, behind defenseman Matthew Robertson, who has four assists in three games after putting up 11 points in 65 games last year as a rookie.

Yeah, but the picture of Reaves punching Marcus Foligno is incredible and worth Reaves playing this season (in NY).

I don’t blame you for wishing he’d not make the lineup most nights.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Man somebody show that twitter guy some clips of Hextall and Barrasso

e: Hextall had 100 PIM a year his first few years. That would put you in the top 10 in the league now. Barrasso would get up around 70, approximately 64 of which were from two-handed chops to the balls of guys that bumped him in the crease.

Sean McIndoe was right that the loser point sucks because it makes teams that really should blow it up try to fight for the 8 seed

The worst thing is it doesn't even work that way! Yes the teams are closer in points, but it makes the point gaps even harder to overcome. The only people who get fooled by the standings are peabrained idiots who are only capable of understanding whole numbers. So, GMs and owners.

Like, if there was no loser point, a bad team could still finish the season on an 8-2 run and leapfrog a bunch of teams. There's more hope of that than being 5 points out and needing four other teams to lose every game in regulation

The Canucks are starting to give me hope again though. Maybe they really can be bad enough for long enough to slip into the lottery. Even though I still know they'll finish 21st overall. I would bet on that.

Keep throwing those jerseys folks. My expectations for this team were a lot lower than most but drat even I didn't think we'd be getting to a jersey toss this year, let alone in the sixth game.

I like how they always trot out the "but think how long it will take!" excuse as if we've thoroughly enjoyed what we've watched in past decade. They've tanked the franchise's value in a time of sky rocketing growth through this approach. At least from a self interested approach you'd think they'd try something else? Seems like Ottawa fans are having fun idk.

God, Bedard is a year away from being in the NHL and likely his best ever memory of being a canucks fan is the bubble. Jesus Christ.

If there was a magic button that said "make the Canucks worse than the expansion Capitals for 4 seasons, and make them as good as NYR is now in year 5" I would smash it immediately.

"My jersey got thrown on the ice last year and I'll never forget that for as long as I play," Canuck captain Bo Horvat recalled. "It's something that hits home, and when you see it again happening this year, it definitely sucks. But I understand their frustration.
"We haven't really given them much to cheer about. It's been a lot of years in the rebuild stage and. . . at this point in the season, it just feels like it's never going to happen, like we’re never going to win again."

I feel like the amount of teams that can survive runs with bad goaltending is a slim list. Colorado, Toronto...those kinds of teams. I don't think even someone like Pittsburgh would do that well with terrible goaltending and might be in danger of missing a playoff spot if it was bad enough.

Toronto clearly can because they did it last season.

Dec 26, 2005
Vancouvers problem is that elite goaltending was the only reason this wasn’t happening last year. It’s not like Tyler Myers and OEL being loving pylons is a new thing. Only before they had too-tier goaltending to hide the fact that the entire defense is a dumpster fire. Demko is regressing slightly and it’s showing all of the flaws that were always there, he just kept the team out of trouble before.

Edit: I just realized I don’t know if Tyler Myers is a d-man. He might not be but he stays in the example.

We'd rely on the non-fancy stats. They'd even creep into the eye test when you're two dozen goals against deep in video and there's still more to watch, and you remember they've only played six games.

I’m here for Micah posting the chart that says the Leafs should have more points in the standings because their goaltending (just Samsonov) has been better than expected, and then later posting his projection chart that says the Leafs will miss the playoffs because it hates their goaltending so much.
