Are they wearing Rangers jerseys for any reason other than purely for aesthetics?

Police are classifying his death as a #suicide. His family in #yyc say he was a loving husband & father @CTVCalgary

Edit: Looks like he was found dead yesterday and these tweets are just confirming how it happened. That's another 'enforcer' type of player to take his own life. He was only 49 too

Really? #suicide? Come the fuck on.

Perds baby, much excite. Josi/Smith/Forsberg would be a killer trio for the OT (at least as far as exciting trios the Preds have).

EDIT: Haha thought the game was tonight; it was last night.

I had an awful dream that hockey was finally back on and that I was watching and cheering but when I noticed the teams it turns out I was cheering for NEW YORK RANGERS GOALS

spooky

Ducks sign John Gibson to a 3 year extension, AAV of $2.3mil

Flames and Oil playing split squad games tonight, gonna watch em both at the same time :3

**Richybear** · 2015-09-21 16:15

The one at home is where they're rolling Hall-McDavid-Purcell as a line.
Assuming that clicks, Purcell on easy street for points. It would be like being the pylon on a line with the Sedins. LOL

Yeah I looked at lineups for both games, it seems like the home team for each game is pretty stacked and the away teams tend to have more of the bubble-fringe players lol. Calgary's home roster for example has Monny, Johnny, Huds, Bennett, Gio, Brodie, Hamilton, Hiller, etc, etc. Maybe like 4~6 of the 20 guys dressed aren't going to be in the opening night roster lol. Vs the away roster which is more than half filled with guys who not only might not make the NHL roster, but might not even make the AHL roster and are probably going back to Junior

Edit: Looking at Edmonton's lineups, without really knowing your depth guys that well, it seems a lot more balanced in comparison

Bregor. It's time. Pre-season is officially the start of the season. Make it happen.
