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

I feel like the league has an unwritten rule where you're required to just accept any trade Chicago offers you. That looks fucking awful for Arizona.

How the hell did John Carlson not make the ASG

cause they had to get Kris Letang in there, fucking lol

Fucking travesty

Fucking travesty

Pittsburgh is Gary Bettman's team, is anyone surprised they'd get an extra player sent?

[Vaspinne]

Team playing decently well, have won 4 in a row, and tonight playing the best team in the league in Tampa... should be interesting...

[Twixbars]

Hope Tampa ends that streak.

30 seconds in its 1-0 !!!!!!

[Vaspinne]

Somehow Calgary has a 2-goal lead heading into the 2nd intermission. Tampa has dominated the game for big chunks but our PK has been solid and our PP miraculously scored a timely goal at the end of the 2nd.

But srsly, our PP has been fucking god awful for a month.

Vegas #GoldenKnights respond to our story on the trademark dispute involving the #Army:
"...we are not aware of a single complaint from anyone attending our games that they were expecting to see the parachute team and not a professional hockey game..."

lol

4th post in a row but fuck it. Smith stole the game. Was a fucking wall early on and some timely goals after that is the only reason why we won. The 5 Flames goal scorers tonight also have an average age of 22.6 years old lol, so that's a nice thought. And with the win tonight, we're suddenly 3rd in the Pacific and only 3 points back of LA

Hedman left the game early in the second due to a knee injury from a collision. Big loss for tampa if hes gone for awhile.

"No one complained" isn't a valid excuse for trademark infringement and I'm frankly a bit stunned Vegas would come out and say that.

[Vaspinne]

I mean, does the US army even trademark code names they give their teams? Legit asking here

[Obsidian]

If they're disputing a trademark I'm assume it's because they own it.

This was my first thought

[Twixbars]

Hedman out for 3-6 weeks.

Wait a second...wrong division lmao

Reilly will probably take his spot, unless the league sends Sergachev. Oh that would hurt.
