Lose to Las Vegas and lose your division: THE NHL 2017-2018 THREAD (INCLUDING THE COYOTES SOMEHOW, PITTSBURGH HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

Well that may as yet be Robitaille or Blake

Seems weird to say Brown is the best LA player of all time when Gretzky played on that team.

Gretzky had some fine years in LA, but was also hobbled by injuries. got his team to the finals once and lost (Hrudey in goal, so i realize this this may not be fair). His best years were in Edm though.
Robitaille is my fave King all-time so i don't discount him at all, but DB is such a complete player. I've never seen anybody else lay big clean hits on people while in the same motion turn a fine offensive play the way he does. And he does it everyday. And he's captained 2 cup-winning teams.

this is nice, but maybe the bruins should have tried not falling to the ice and flailing whenever seguin came near them

Louuuu

bingo bango bongo

derick brassard is a pretty good third-line center

this thred title was prescient in a way that i was not anticipating

tats gone to vegas ;_;

I mean I don't keep close track of movements and cap hits and such these days but idk if ken holland is cut out for the nu nhl way of doing business

i thought that was a pretty good return except that the first-rounder won't be very high

half hoping the golden knights win the cup so all gm lose their jobs this summer.

you can make an argument for each individual move (well, not the dan girardi signing) but tampa's long-term strategy of acquiring former rangers seems questionable

720 seconds.

That’s how long it took to hit our goal of 10,000 deposits.

We’re now at 25,000 and counting.

Thank you, Seattle.#NHLSeattle

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Quebec City is not going to get an NHL team anytime soon.

https://www.nhlpa.com/player-poll/2017-18

wouldn't mind seattle getting a team tbh

it would create a cool rivalry with vancouver

but more importantly, it would add pressure on vancouver to get it's motherfucking act together otherwise the nhl would pull the canucks out of the city like the nba did with the grizzlies

jets are being taught a lesson in nashville tonight

Met a friend for a movie tonight, a movie we knew would be silly and was just an excuse to get together. Late in the afternoon, someone he knew messaged that he had an extra ticket for the Leaf game; my friend passed, not wanting to cancel and not having any way to get in touch with me anyway (I don't have a cell phone).

Later, as we left the movie, I said something like "Hopefully the Leafs didn't come back from six goals and win in a shootout."

36yo accountant got into a game tonight as an emergency goalie for the blackhawks

This story is a Kremlin psyop guys

7/7 is an honest days work

i would never want the emergency-goalie-off-the-street thing to change -- it is awesome -- but it's kind of a weird cop-out?

i mean if a baseball team runs out of pitchers or catchers it's not like they can pull dudes out of the crowd. go tell one of your healthy scratches to put some pads on

love hockey

this was so awesome

I know this guy probably gives zero shits and I'm only picking on this because it's the Blackhawks but really? $0? That's shitty. They're getting so much positive PR out of this, I hope they do something for him (beyond free food, games, and a jersey).

Last night, Foster saved 7 shots on 7 tries in 14 minutes of action vs Jets. CBA states Foster’s deal with team was a “tryout.” pic.twitter.com/aEP5lODZU8

also prob has best selling jersey over last 12 hours

yeah it's a CBA/union/salary cap thing. lame

incomparable leader jonathan toews surely bought him a beer, tho

Toews (or someone else) shoulda slapped on the pads imho, not even kidding in the slightest.

sedins are done

noooo too soon

legit sad at Sedin news

i'm thankful for them and they are certainly two of the best

however, i do feel it's a good time for this

To say that the Sedins enjoyed a good run would be a bit of an understatement.
