2018-2019 NHL Regular Season Thread: Not Suck Back 2 Back

[Judai]

soooo, the Flyers didn't show up tonight so far..

Ovi with #46
SCC Tom Wilson w/ #19, who is on pace for 30+ if he didn't miss 20 games. Is his $5m contract still way too much!?

[Judai]

well, the Flyers have showed up in the third, it would be nice if the Caps got back on the ice.

[Judai]

Holtby's 250th Win tonight, 2nd fastest goalie to 250 Wins, behind Ken Dryden (who ended up with only 258 Wins total)

[DFJS]

Be nice if the Ducks could stay out of the box. St. Louis Louis powerplay is already 2/2 in the first period.

Bori, if your boys could keep losing and Nynja, if your boys could pull out a regulation W, that'd be great thanks!

Bergy says nope.

[NynJa]

Niemi let in a moderately weak goal followed up by a fucking terribly weak goal.

[Vaspinne]

Bergy says nope.

Florida just had to hold out for 1 fucking minute =/

Flames not trending in a good direction over the last few games. Even during the 7-game win streak, that pre-AllStar break swagger was gone.

Vegas signed Mark Stone 8yrs 76mil

Landeskog out 4-6 weeks with an UBI

Full NMC for the entire contract too

Carolina leads the league in shots for per game, and allowed the fewest shots against per game. Jets are top three for shots against.

Incoming at minimum, 50 SOG for the 'Canes sigh.

Buracuuuuuda, has a goal in 3 straight games now.

I'm really glad we didn't move him. Hopefully this is the start of a full turn around for him

Contract expiring when he's 34, with a full NMC. Bad play.

I love Bura but he'll prolly still be moved in the off-season, even if he figures things out. Not a ton of cap room and Vrana is gonna take up most of it. Maybe he signs a team friendly contract since he's still a RFA but Connolly is probably gone also, (someone will pay good money for him, 27, career year, possibly 20 goals on the 3rd line) and we'll need to fill that scoring hole with something.

I'd love it if he figures it out but he's just really streaky, partially due to injuries.

Caps 6 in a row, undefeated since trading for Nick Jensen. (sucks Djoos is getting scratched instead of Orpik)

[Cail]

Orpik over Djoos is the bane of my existence

Omg, Jets allowed a goal. They're a shit team.

Caps 1st rd pick Alex Alexeyev suffered what appeared to be a knee injury last night following an open-ice collision & was taken off on a stretcher..
