2017-2018 NHL Regular Season Thread (Part 1) - Preparing for Lockout #3

If there's any team you're going to score more than once against, it's the Toronto "defense is for pussies who can't score" Maple Leafs.

It's almost like sometimes I know what I'm talking about.

Did Montreal change their goal song?

[Cail]

Make it stop

THE CURSE IS BROKEN BY NONE OTHER THAN AUSTON MATTHEWS

[Cail]

Ken hitchcock now 3rd all time for coaching wins

[NynJa]

CBC was too busy sucking on Matthews balls that they didnt bother showing Price lose an edge setting up for the shot.

Too busy with "OMG MATTHEWS HARDER BABY SO GOOD MATTHEWS SLURP SLURP WHAT A SNIPE SO SKILL", with 8 bajillion replays to mention that Price gave up half the net because he slipped.

Jagr’s first point as a Flame and I was there in person to witness it. Was awesome! Shitty pics incoming later

[Vaspinne]

Things of note:

In this first pic, you can kind of see that it's the middle of the third period and the arena is like, maybe half, 2/3rds full? Attendance was fucking pathetic, like, absolutely abysmal.


This is on the draw on the PP that lead to the legend's first official Flames point. Was amazing.

Buffalo's goaltending is just god fucking awful.

Also, how is it that if a goal goes in, it's never any goalies fault ever? Lehner lets in a shot from the point with clear vision literally 1 or 2 seconds after a faceoff win by the Kings and the BUF commentators are like "Oh forwards gotta get out there and make themselves big and block that shot"

What? Why? It's a clear shot from the fucking blue line and you can't depend on your goalie to make the save? Fuck that.

I blamed the fuck out of Brian Elliott after last season's playoffs. Goalies can and do let in shit goals, and should be called out for it!

The other five guys on the ice he skated through don't have an excuse.

[NynJa]

Benn coughed up the puck bad, he fucked up on the play.

[Cail]

Vegas has put Fleury and Marchessault on IR

[NynJa]

I know Fleury got bumped by Abdelkader, what happened to Marchessault though?

[Obsidian]

Vegas has put Fleury and Marchessault on IR

Probably wishing they hadn't waived Pickard for no discernible reason now.

[Cail]

Fleury is a concussion. Marchessault just says lower-body

[Judai]

Fleury is a concussion. Marchessault just says lower-body

can we trade them Gruby for Schmidt now?

Subban is shutting out the Bruins lol.

[Brill Weave]

Subban is shutting out the Bruins lol.

As if anything else would have occurred lol.
