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

[DFJS]

Took a puck in the face during the early stages of the last game at Carolina. Not too surprised. He should use a visor but I doubt he will. I'm glad the nhl makes every new player in the league wear one. Not saying it would help in his case but it could have.

Luongo is awesome

McDavid had the same costume as TJ Oshie's kids!



I don't like it either and RMNB said it better than I would have.

All I’ll say is this. Halloween is a fun holiday. Many people make lewd jokes or do things that shock others for a reaction. I get it and have done the same in the past. But if you have a platform where people look up to you, try to think bigger than yourself and make decisions that help make the world a better place.
This does not do that – no matter how cute or “all in good fun” the costumes may be.

Jets current point streak is highly unexpected. At tomorrows game so I'm expecting a more sour outcome. Plan on eating at a new ramen shop I found so it'll be a win either way tomorrow.

Backes out 8 weeks.

[Obsidian]

Jesus Christ what a stupid fucking deflection.

[DFJS]

Just made it to the game. Had to work late. Didn't see either goal. Tons of leafs fans. First time seeing a lot of these leafs young guys in person.

[DFJS]

Mathews robbed by the post. Had Gibson down and out.

Still dunno how he got left that open in the first place. Gibson has been good all night.

[Obsidian]

Before that last powerplay the Leafs went over 130 minutes between powerplays. They can't buy a penalty call to save their lives.

[DFJS]

And the way the ducks get called every few minutes I'm shocked Toronto has more penalties. Post was the mvp of the period.

[DFJS]

Ha ha ha ha. Had the Dodgers game on for a bit and when it cut out mad boo's from the crowd.

[Obsidian]

Marleau looking pretty pretty good at Center. If that holds I think we can say goodbye to Bozak by the trade deadline.

[DFJS]

He's still a great player. Has bozak been playing that bad? He's done well against the ducks in the past.

[Obsidian]

He's not really bad, but he (and JVR, and to a lesser extent Marner) is a major defensive liability. It's not really that I want him traded, it's that he's on an expiring contract and he'll probably be attractive to other teams in need of a Center.

[DFJS]

Ducks passing has been just a little off all night.

[Obsidian]

Ah the infamous "can't use your feet to score but can use your feet for literally anything else" rule.

Based on the replay I dunno if that's gonna get overturned or not. Definitely looks like he kicked it in to me.

[DFJS]

Who kicked that in? Shit views here and nobodies foot moved. If it was at ice level I could see maybe but it damn near hit the crossbar.

[Obsidian]

Silverburg it looked like. The rebound came out and he chipped it in with his skate. It looked pretty deliberate from the center ice angle, but it's a retarded rule in the first place.
