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

Fucking hell. Haven't been able to follow much Hockey working two jobs, but dear god are the Sharks bad. Time for that rebuild.

Habs havent won in San Jose in almost 2 decades.

Graovac out for the game.... OH JOY, MORE INJURY

[Cail]

This Caps-Leafs game is the barn-burner we all expected

Edmonton losing 20 seconds into the game

NHL app on my PS4 has been shit lately...though, so has my connection

[bluefan]

Yep, I knew those three wins were just Helle carrying the team. Most Jets look like they don't want to play tonight.

[NynJa]

Duchene crosschecked Sissons into Varlamov, who was on a breakaway and scored a goal. Refs called charging on Sissons, despite getting checked into the net while scoring, but the goal counts.

[Sepukku]

Pens win!

Pens Win!!!

PENS WIN!!!!!

[Obsidian]

Big win for the Leafs and a big shutout for Freddy.

[NynJa]

Habs, with a 1.00 G/GP heading to their game against Toronto, score 3 on Anderson.
Caps, with a 3.67 G/GP, cant get one past Anderson.

Caps + Leafs with a combined 8.73 GF/GP manage to score 1 non-ENG through 60 minutes.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Colorado has had seven power plays; Perds are winning 4-1.

And being in the pacific time zone is killing my Preds viewing time; just walked in the door.

[Wulfgang]

And holy shit Kucherov is hot

[Obsidian]

I'm linking this joke article based purely on the amazing headline.

Greeeeat....Rask had to be helped off the ice during practice. *thisIsFine.jpg*

Matthews' 6th of the year gets Howard yanked. 3 goals on 4 shots, lol.

[Obsidian]

And Mrazek gives up a goal on the first shot he sees LOL

[NynJa]

Do you know what GI is anymore?

https://www.nhl.com/news/montreal-ca...?tid=277729160
Thornton pushes Price, in the crease, with his stick, and its deemed not GI.

Just now, Abdelkader has his ass in the crease limiting the goalies movement, and it was also deemed not GI. I like watching Toronto getting screwed, but as a fan, I have no idea what is and isnt GI anymore.

[Obsidian]

That Abdelkater one last period was pretty stupid, he was clearly making contact with McElhinney but I've learned to just accept that the GI challenge is a total toss-up every time.

The one just now on JVR was hilarious though. Detroit challenged it, refs look at the replay for five seconds and said "hell no, that's a goal."

[NynJa]

I have no idea why Blashill challenged that one, Leafs player was like a foot away from the crease the entire time
