Starsfan posted:ehh we'll see.. I think the Blues still have a solid group of forwards (atleast their top 6) and Binnington can still win a game for them. I don't know that I see Nashville doing much this year along with the Blues. They're both going to win enough games to be a pain to the rest of the Central, but they're not going to be consistently good enough to be anything but an outsider. Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, and Winnipeg are likely going to be the top 4 in some order and it's going to be interesting to see if Chicago or Arizona will be the worst this season now that there's nothing to tank for.

^ Makes sense, though I'm a little lower on Nashville this year. It's going to be more of a surprise to me if they can actually get that WC spot, but not as much as StL. ThinkTank posted:MAF has tried to get into a fight like five times. I hope someone fights him before his career is done. I've seen more goalie fights in beer league than I have in the NHL in the last 5 years. It doesn't need to be a classic brawl, but I want enough that they have to write it on the scoresheet.

This is why standardized discipline needs to be a thing. Granted, I’m not sure why they took that down to 2”, so it’s me just yelling at clouds. The first thing that made contact there was his knee and it’s what caused the infringement. Should have just stuck with the major. Personally I’d be down with a minimum 1 game suspension for any game misconduct, but I think right now that’s only for match penalties in the NHL.

Levitate posted:I think part of the problem is then some star does something and the NHL doesn't want to suspend them so instead of just acknowledging they'll be pulling a double standard they just let poo poo slide for everyone but police the low skill guys a bit more Maybe they should just grow a pair and be consistent? I get that it’s a business, but I wouldn’t have batted an eyelash had Kaprizov got a game for the game misconduct he took on Doughty last year. Penalties are a major part of the game and just need to be given to everyone. Let the goalies fight and then toss them to the showers and make the backups come in. Idgaf, let’s play some hockey. The kids up through Juniors get this, why’s it so difficult for adults?

Wonderllama posted:Looks like WiFi spun him around? Like, what kind of invitation does he need? What is his ideal fight timeline and how much notice does he need? I think the point is that fights need to start with both combatants aware that they're about to happen. This is probably a good idea considering they're punching each other in the head. Honestly, this probably should have gotten an instigator as he's jumping into something he wasn't involved in and starting the fight without the other guy having the option to skate away. But this is the NHL so that poo poo is never going to happen.

Koopa Kid posted:I loved the first intermission bit where Bieksa claimed that Nylander’s first goal wasn’t a move he would have made last year without the “toughness” around the team, then the broadcast immediately showed a clip from last year of Willy scoring the exact same goal against the Wild in OT. He was a pain in the rear end, but really not that useful in that game. Matthews line had a field day though and that’s very annoying. Just bad team defense from Minnesota. Toronto played well.

Koopa Kid posted:The Wild carried play at evens to be fair, though score effects played a part in that. The Leafs PP has been covering up a lot of nonsense from the defence and Samsonov made some big stops in the second half. If the PP keeps this up I might need to reevaluate my opinion on Guy Boucher. Yeah, Samsonov didn’t look like he was seeing the puck very well the whole game, but the Wild couldn’t finish very well either. And for the third period it’s a wash once the scoreboard gap got big enough. Leafs PP is absurd and Matthews should just keep the Rocket Richard trophy already.

They do have some good talent, but they're 2-3 years away from being a fun team again. Jamwad Hilder posted:Has anyone told Seattle they're supposed to score goals Yes, but they refuse to listen.

Campbell was about the only player in the D zone putting in a shift. He was pretty good for as many goals as they gave up. Saved a bunch of high danger chances where the D was just flailing around.

For Carter Hart having gently caress all to do in the first two periods last night, he played really well in the 3rd. You don't notice how much it can knock a team off balance when you're missing just one or two guys, but having Spurgeon, Boldy, and Gaudreau out a the same time is not super fun. Merrill was terrible, and the 4th line got eaten alive. I did a double take when I saw a 16 on a Wild sweater in the 2nd having not even noticed that Khaira was out there before that time.

Mr. Fish posted:Refs didn't call a penalty on this hit, but they called eight others in the second period alone. Overcorrection maybe? Or all the cringe players on my fail team actually are a bunch of goony barbarians That's a hit that happens a dozen times a night. It's not the hit that caused that injury, it was the way he fell. That hit happens at plenty of levels. Timing could have been better but I don't think that's changing much. Maybe we should just take checking out of the game and have everyone wear pillows.

rex rabidorum vires posted:I'm interested to see if Sprong repeats close to his efforts last year. So far he has. Kinda neat if he finally found his game after bouncing around a bunch. Geekie, thus far, is nearly PPG. It seems fairly insane to me Seattle didn't retain Sprong...6th best scorer on the team with less than 12 minutes a night. Banking on Eeli to repeat seems certifiable. We're talking about the guy that hired Dave Hakstol to be the franchise's first coach. So of course he's going to expect them to score on 20% of their shots and not need any of the mid scorers. Seattle have managed to take all the cap space they had and squander it like any good long standing mediocre team. E: Matty B needs a contract next year too. Should go well.

Spelling Mitsake posted:I don't know about other leagues, but the OHL has required neck guards for like 15 years. So basically anyone who's come out of that league and doesn't wear one has decided to ditch it. Hockey Canada requires laceration neck guards for youth age groups. USA Hockey requires mouth guards. There's nothing more surreal than a US team playing a Canadian team and wearing what's only required by their association. The laceration neck guards do come attached to turtlenecks, but the small neck collar ones work similarly well. The goalie ones are much more important as you will catch a puck to the neck and it can protect you from getting a serious injury on a regular play. Oshie's Warroad company makes so good quality ones too.
