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

[Obsidian]

Yes, the team with no defense on the second half of a back-to-back with their newly minted back-up in net giving up a lot of goals sure is shocking.

[NynJa]

You might want to look at who St. Louis played last night, and went to OT against.

[Obsidian]

Dunno how that makes the Leafs any less tired, but whatever makes you feel better I guess. The Blackhawks are also definitely not a lottery team, lol.

DOUBLE HAT TRICK BITCHES

Edit: I have no idea who scored the goal I was attributing to Matthews.

[Obsidian]

Sparks come the fuck on

[NynJa]

Chicago finished 25th last year, finished dead last in their division by 16 points.

LOL DEFENSE

[Judai]

is it me or is goal scoring up like a bajillion percent this year...

both games today so far had 13 goals each.

The Leafs are going to drive that stat up all by themselves.

[Judai]

idk if it's just early season rust, or the new goalie pad changes, or a combo of both but it just seems like there are a ton of high scoring games already. I mean, the Caps put in 13 goals in 2 games alone, it just crazy atm.

[NynJa]

I think last year started like that too, it balanced out eventually.

[Mythe_Seraph]

Awesome game tonight. Happy they escaped with one.

[Obsidian]

Matthews and JT have combined for 9 goals in three games so far. The rest of the team has 4 goals combined, lol.

[Mythe_Seraph]

Tavares was great in that game. I thought for sure the team that won the faceoff in OT would win but I didn’t anticipate Kane to be so sloppy with the puck so quickly.

DAY HOCKEY

Feel bad for the Shraks having to play a 1p EST game

Down 4-0 now at the end of the third. Martin Jones now in 2 starts has given up 6 goals and has a .829 save percentage.

Saint Patrice being god-like with 3 goals, 4 assists today.

[bori]

How about that sophomore slump for VGK.

[Obsidian]

Wonder how integral James Neal really was to that team, honestly.

[Judai]

tbf, VGK are missing their #1 Dman, have some big new pieces to integrate into the team and start the year off on a 5 game east coast road trip.
