I predict Oview will be a fat, bloated, partied out mess for the first month of the season Guys been drunk for months straight.

Rightfully so don;t get me wrong.

Because the team is good enough now that you cant just block him all day. Same reason Crosby sneaks to the open side of the net over and over.

Of course they're both good enough to score from wherever but you can't stop Ovechkin.

Well hey, you gotta start somewhere. The price you pay for winning 5 cups is having a complete and utter worthless hockey team every year for the last 25 years. Oh wait, they did lose the cup to the hurricanes ( ) that year.

Pens caps starting off nutty for sure. I didn't know whom was going to win, but I knew it would be red when pens were up 2 goals in the 3rd

Meh beginning of the season is always wacky. Huge scores all over the joint. Murray another concussion... Same shit different day

They've played like 5 games

Man I hope LeTang keeps the heat...with Shultz out we'll need him.

Worst kept secret in hockey

Well I'm not happy Hagelin left that's for sure. But I guess the point needed to be made that th Pens will trade your ass no matter how well liked you are, and for a player worse than you.

Before they were winning with video game numbers, then dropping 5 in a row; ouch

Honestly, I'd call that a fucking dive. Body shot putting him down like that?
I'm getting too old to enjoy people getting injured and all that but I wouldn't mind seeing Wilson drooling and shitting on himself by age 40.

Ahhhh I didn't really catch that the first time...ah yes the bounce. Good for him.

I don't think All Star games are popular in any sport...maybe basketball?

I like the NHL version, but I don't go out of my way to watch it. I was excited to watch the Jagr one...what was that like 3 years ago?

I just assumed he was still Pissed at NHL over Olympics

Noooooo!!!!!

There really isn't that much to comment on, the Pens have the worst defense I've seen in years. Utterly pathetic.

Yep you can do that in the regular season but dries up on the playoffs. Last 2 cups were great defensive...everyone chipping in.
All credit to Isles goalie...im sure I'm not the only one having flashbacks to 2013 Eastern finals against Tukka Rask?

I appreciate Letang thinking he's still as good as he was 10 years ago, but it's time to wake the fuck up.

Edit: is Hal Gill still in the league so we csn speed up this defense a bit

Same shit diff'rent decade

There isn't anyone alive that thinks they made the right call; just 100% wrong and horrible.
The only thing worse is the penalty kill that followed.

Half of them, at least, didn't see it at all. They claimed after the game it was a cross check to the face, which it clearly wasn't.
Not a fan of either team so it's pretty easy for me to be objective.

That's all "But For" slippery slope stuff.
He WASN'T falling onto the ice from the cross check...he was pushed onto the ice by another player; watch it again.

His right skate is on the ice when contact with player #2 happens, altering his direction of his body completely. His left skate is coming down to the ice as player #2 lifts him off the ice.
I'm giving him credit as a professional skater he would have worked himself out without falling on his head from the first check; that's a judgement call for sure.

It's more cloudy if you take the injury into account...which I don't really.

To me someone got cross checked, big fucking deal, that happens literally 200 times in every hockey game ever.
He's trying to regain his balance when someone pushes him to the ice, which happens literally 200 times in every hockey game ever.
He takes a bad spill and gets injured, which happens less frequently.

To me if you want to call the cross check that's fine, it was a cross check. 2 minute minor move along.

I didn;t see was there blood on the ice? Do they have a double minor cross check? I know some fouls don't.

I see the issue more of people thinking they have to take a side; Vegas is both the victim and the choker.

Yes, it's Hockey. Happens all the time.

Blues in 6...Gotta go with the long layoff curse, Detroit 1935, and I Hate the Bruins.

It's not hard to figure out, the old saying "the answer to all of your questions is money" is simple here.
Small TV markets are not in line to get new teams and Wisconsin has no big market.

Calm down...he's only suspended FOR game 3

But it's a little ticky tack for sure. Guess that's what happens when no one knows whom the fuck you are.

"NHL fans sure enjoyed seeing Brad Marchand cry after Bruins' Game 7 loss"

Ha too true. Congrats to da Blues and fuck the Bruins.

Uff that name is horrendous. They should combine 2 and make it the "metropolitan emeralds" and have an emerald with a top hot. Even totems was better...although a stationary object isn't popular.

No. That team moved out of town.

It makes more sense than a Red Wing.

Rask was the toast of the town the last month+

No, that is unrelated. Unless you think the bird has a wheel on it?

Pens swept...by a team that was swept....by a team that was swept....

Free agency yes, the draft no. Not to mention NHL draft which is just the weirdest.creepiest thing ever.

Haha...well I'm pretty sure when people are fighting they are supposed to leave the ice too.

Sure sure and Remeber when they said anyone involved on a fight in the playoffs/cup would be suspended the next game? Then Malkin and Datsuk dropped the gloves and that rule just evaporated.

Love a good west vs east
