Edit: Kane is looking ridiculous this year, makes the rumors of him for Miller straight up even funnier.

Also as shitty as the loss was tonight, reading Hab fans freak out on Hfboards is really entertaining.
No.
Damn, totally dropped the ball there
Was tempted to do it this time, but that would've just been cheap...We're almost at the quarter pole of the season already. The latter half of this season is going to be a dog fight. There's just no time to create any kind of separation unless you're Chicago.
1st and 2nd in every division is separated by 3 points or fewer except the central where the Hawks lead by 7.

Yeah, if the Canucks can get/stay healthy it doesn't really look like anyone in the NW is poised to run with them. Minnesota is definitely not living up to the hype after their summer. Same old Wild. Parise has been as advertised, but Suter hasn't been great and the same old problems still exist there.
Edmonton is getting there, but looks like they still aren't there yet.
Colorado is fucked without O'Reilly, Landeskog, and Downie. Even with all 3 of them in the lineup, they'd still likely not challenge for the division yet, though.
Calgary sucks.
Other divisions should be interesting, though. Atlantic should be wide open. Boston should win the NE, but Montreal could surprise. I wouldn't count St. Louis out of the Central yet. The Pacific could be a dog fight if LA figures their shit out, and who really cares about the Southeast?
I'm not sure if Minny will get much better. The defense isn't really that good, Backstrom looks human, and they're not that deep.
They'll be a fringe playoff team, I think. Somewhere in the 7-10 range.
The best line, "Calgary sucks" :-D
But yeah I agree, even if healthy, Semyon Varlymov and the defense is not good enough to get the avs far. And, Edmonton is in the dogfight of NHL parity that won't allow them to be among the few times that shine.
The Pacific will be interesting too.
It's a recipe for 14th place.
Cervenka was cheap, at least.
As long as they've got Iginla and Kiprusoff, two potential HOFers, the organization sees a window. They think they can continue to attract talent through free agency and build a contender.
It's a fucking fairy tale. But I can't imagine how difficult it must be to concede that the Iginla/Kiprusoff era has come to an end and it's time to start the long, difficult rebuild. Especially when they'd spent the last few years telling themselves there was another way as the Oilers racked up #1 picks.

Poor Zedge. We're talking shit about his team, and he's asleep. Oh whatever, like he doesn't already know.
I'm cakebossed by the way. I felt everyone should know that. Drawing attention to myself in a anonymous internet subthread. Oh yeah!

Jesus. The Hawks could pretty much have the division on lockdown after 20 games.
White deserves it. He's funning for the "Fucktard of the Year" award.

'Twas amazing. I can't think of the last time Cats won one in two shooters.

Last nights game was horrible. The Flyers were the better team in regulation and OT but they just couldnt get that 3rd goal. Bryz is by far the worst shootout goalie I have ever seen. I would actually be okay with they putting in a different guy for the SO's except Bryz is so fragile mentally he would probably fall apart if they did that.

Yup. This about sums it up. I'd be interested in checking out TOP stats for that game. Felt like we had the puck the whole time.

I thought you lose the loser point if you pull your goalie in OT? If not they should definitely do that from now on. The only way Bryz was stopping a shot during the SO was if they guy taking the shot fell down and died before getting the shot off.
Leafs at worse will be .500 at the quarter point of the season. I'm perfectly fine with that.
I think this is where most people expected them to be, in the hunt for the playoffs. Currently we're in at 7th. If we could just get the home record a bit better things would be a bit more optimistic.
ROAD WARRIORS!

You're right, that is a rule.
I don't know what it is about Philly, but Flyers goalies have always been terrible in the shootout. 31st all-time in save percentage.

LOL at Bob having the best SO save%, if you discount the guys that have only faced 3 or 4 shots. Flyers need to bring him back and make him the steady SO goalie.

Hitchcock's post game press conference was epic. Hope the Blues get their act together worst back to back home games I think I've ever seen and that's saying something because it's the Blues.

I'm enjoying the fact that the avs have 4 days to wait before the next game after two of the shittier efforts so far this season. If those losses don't become a fucking pit in everyone's stomachs by Monday there really is no hope for this team at all.

What the hell, Gamecenter Live specifically says you're allowed to watched the "Condensed Game" recaps of local games that have the full games / replays blacked out, and it works on devices, but in a browser the condensed game link takes you to an error page saying "you can't watch a full replay, but you can watch a condensed one!" Yeah, thanks, trying to do that. Already submitted a support ticket a couple days ago, haven't heard back.

I need to catch up on post game interviews, wasn't feeling it last night.
That said, I felt like his shuffling of the lines last night did absolutely nothing for us. Once or twice the 10-21-91 line clicked (at least 21-91), but disappointing overall. Stewart and AMac had zero chemistry as well.
I'd be okay with sitting Schwartz until he can find his confidence again. Kid has the potential but isn't executing. Put in Dags.
And for the love of fuck put Cole back in.
EDIT: Holy shit Hitch was pissed. "How many times were you yelling 'shoot the puck'. How many times? End of press conference."

Mass snowstorm in the NE and only one game in the SW tonight? NHL schedule makers are wizards.

I think he's switching lines up alot because of the lack of team chemistry right now. Everyone's playing to there own beat it seems. Schwartz needs to sit. Really I think Backes or JLangenbruner needs to give this team a good locker room kick in the ass. We've already seen what this team can do when they play together. There's no excuse for this.
Not to harp on Perron too much, but as good as he's been so far the show boating needs to stop.
pft that's not impressive, marvie and i live in the same mind!
You're offering? No thanks.

I'm a good million pages late but on the subjects of Team Canada goaltendership.
Corey Crawford needs to be in that discussion.

Didn't catch much of the game, but what I saw was confusing. Pre-game Hitch said he was putting the original lines back together because he felt after fucking with them, the chemistry was lost. Yet when I turned the game on, the lines were the most fucked I've ever seen.
Did someone get injured or what?

Going into 2014, you have to start with Roberto Luongo. Same way you had to start with Martin Brodeur last time.
Same for America, you have to start with Ryan Miller.
They both earned their spots in 2014 from their play in 2010.
Then they can lose their job to whoever (Carey Price, Corey Crawford for Canadians, Corey Schneider, Jonathan Quick for Americans)

That is a damn low return. Oh well we needed to make space and it was obvious Ellerby was the spare part.
He's a great guy with a lot of potential. Good luck to him in LA.
