2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

Hagdiddler being useless. Love it. How's Stajan?

Stajan is doing well watching from the press box with a separated shoulder. Hagman has been playing well, Bulin has just been playing a hell of a lot better. And White is currently -1. The Flames aren't playing bad, per se. We had a good second, but Bulin had a better second. He always kicks our ass it seems =/

God, what a third period though. I mean, if the Oil are going to beat the Flames, I would have hoped that the Oils I drafted to my fantasy team would have scored at least ._.;

[Palin]

Eberle looks amazing.

[Ishido]

Man the Avs have been shooting themselves in the foot all game with their obsession for the penalty box. Youngest team in the league though, should not be terribly surprising.

[Ishido]

I would be shitting myself all game long with Turco in net.

[bluefan]

What a punch lol.

[Vaspinne]

Wow, we are getting our asses kicked, haha. So... how about that preseason?

[Anton]

Calgary lost both fights badly

[Selamis]

Well it's nice to see that this series picks up exactly where last year ended. Last year's home opener against the Avs, went to like 7 shootout rounds lol. I freaking hate OT...

[Vaspinne]

Both fights? There have been 4 in this game. First two were more or less stalemates

[isladar]

AGH GOD

[Palin]

Rofl.

[Ishido]

Stastny with another to win the game!

That was a fun one to watch.

[Selamis]

Sigh. DAMNIT

[Thoronas]

Fuuuuuuck yeah! Craig Anderson ftw!

[Callisto]

ok I'm kinda drunk and made a post when the game ended and don't see it here, so not really sure where I posted it lol

[Callisto]

ok I can't find it at all lol

Anyways good game, lots of good stuff from both teams. Pretty happy with Turco overall outside of the overtime goal, was a dribbler and he almost had it on the second attempt, but he made some pretty crazy saves. Pisani looked better than I expected, though the Toews/Hossa/Kopecky line doesn't seem so hot, I'm hoping they go back to Kane/Toews/Brouwer and Sharp/Hossa/Kopecky.

Leddy is not very good

Yeah, not much they could do there, 19 year old in his first NHL game, he'll be in Rockford by tomorrow now that Boynton is back. They got a point so I won't complain too much, they battled back from 3-1 to take it to overtime, better than just eating a regulation loss.

and holy shit @ Oilers, really hope they keep it up

[Ishido]

Not every team is the Flames unfortunately.

[Anton]

Not every team is the Flames unfortunately.

Well, they really do defense, it's been a Flames hallmark for a while. But, like the leafs, spending more on the blue line than any team in the division, it does not a brick wall make.

As Eberle made very apparent.

Where was that espn prediction listing Edmonton as dead last again? I wish I could have put money against that

[Richybear]

Oilers looked good last night.
Even though it's not gonna be a complete turnaround from last year, they're fucking fun to watch now. 3 lines that fly, instead of 4 lines trying to pass, hope they can keep it up. Eberle with a goal and an assist, Paajarvi was flying and Hall going hard to the net is a good sign early.
Smackintyre vs Ivanans was great, just to top it all off!

Did I miss an R? Nah, didn't think so

[Thoronas]

Dear god what an awesome punch. Just dropped him.
