2021-2022 NHL Regular Season Thread - Vaccinated and Back to Normal?

Ottawa named Tkachuk as captain

[Richybear]

The holdout works.
Miss a few games, get paid, get named Captain. The system works

10 more games until they go straight to the bottom

5-4 now with 3 straight losses. Is my prediction coming along? (Sabres)

[Obsidian]

It happens every time with Buffalo. They rattle off a bunch of wins in a row because teams play their backups against the Sabres and don't try. They "get hot", teams start to pay attention and actually play them, then they start losing again.

2 games for Sergachev https://twitter.com/kristen_shilton/...88943118929926

George Parros did a thing?!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The wheel just happened to land on the "2 games" sliver this time.

[NynJa]

2 games is fine imo, Marner didnt even miss a shift.

There has to be one of those flowchart memes out there like: "Suspend?" ----> "Is the player from Tampa or Boston?" ----> "No."

Connor fucking wow

Watched the first period of NYR/EDM but had to swap to the Perds. Bummed I did; looks like a banger of a game @6-5 OT.

Holy fucking shit at that McJesus goal.

Yay. We didn't give Arizona their first win of the season.

Who else is in the "Blackhawks have hired Joel Quenneville" waiting room with me?

"Guys, we gotta let you go for having a bad start to the season even though it's been largely due to a distraction for a decade ago when we didn't fire people for much, much worse. You understand, right?"
