You guys ever wonder what happened to Lecavalier. IRC his decline started when he was 29 and it's been a nose dive since. =/

 

[Socreges]

The Kids are all right Soc


Now if Cassels came up

Cassels hasn't adjusted to the big game yet.

Spoiler

But he's still better than McCarron.

Wingers have more space on this team. Shinkaruk is next. Too many rookies right now, though. Might get a few games later in the year with injuries, or get a legit shot next season.

I feel like baertschi should have like 2-4 more points more than he does. Hope he gets a prolonged chance.

E: also do you guys agree Tanev is like far and away the best D now? He makes several great defensive plays each game and rarely any mistakes

Tanev is fantastic.

this is quite good

I don't get it

 

[Pikma]

I feel ya

 

[Socreges]

I feel ya

No, I don't think you do.

 

[Pikma]

No, I don't think you do.

Today was the first time this team scored less than 2 goals, against the second worst team in the league...

And they've been looking really bad lately anyways, the last two wins were not convincing at all, not to me.

 

[Socreges]

Dallas is 1st in the West. Your team took a night off against a terrible team, as good teams tend to do. Do not steal his misery. Do not even pretend to understand his misery. Don't even speak to him. Walk away. And think about what you've done.

dat mriles 3 point night

What a great stat

here's another rielly stat you might like: he has as many points as galchenyuk (or ne1 from the 2012 draft not playing with mcdavid) as a d-man in two less games on a team that hasn't scored half as many goals uehuehueauhueAHA

Bless this mess.

I went to a Smash 4 weekly yesterday, so I missed the game entirely. But this was my feeling after being pleasantly surprised!

Rofl.

What's up with this scheduling for the Rangers? Fuck, feels like a week between each goddamn game. At least it's against the Caps tonight, should be fun.

And by fun I mean Ovi is gonna injure someone with a slapshot. One of 40 he'll take during a single PP from the same fucking exact position he always does. He will score from that location on the same PP. That's basically a Rangers/Caps game.

 

[Cake Boss]

Lol Jonotagood Goalie Bernier is a fraud. Its all about James big humble dick Reimer.

 

[Delryk]

Fucking Reimer.

Today is a sad day. Leafs aren't last anymore.... put Bernier back in net!

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

stars lost to toronto? pack it in dallas, your season is over

 

[SuperSonic1305]

this is quite good

Players have their own goal songs now?

 

[User 479360]

I fell asleep before the end of the third last night due to terribly broken sleep the night before. Glad the Leafs got a win. Now, they can lose some more.

 

[hao chi]

Players have their own goal songs now?

Vancouver players do.

 

[Cake Boss]

Players have their own goal songs now?

Only the cool and young accomplished Vancouver Canucks do. They are so radical.

 

[Calamari41]

Vancouver's Canucks are the future of our sport, so we would all be wise to watch closely what they are doing as an organization. They are dominating the Pacific, the West, and with it the entire league itself.

Canucks Nation, what's the best site to order a Sedin jersey from? I want to make sure I have one without "2016 Stanley Cup Champion" patches on it, so that I have some street cred going forward as the dynasty expands.

LMAO you sir almost made me spit out my coffee. Good show, good show indeed.

Sports fans are predisposed to misery no matter the success. It's bewildering.

 

[kingslunk]

Nah. Stars fans are the people that used to be starving and got out (at the moment its only temporary we can see a collapse in no time with a 5 game losing streak) and we're giving back to the community.

We've already had 3 back to backs and played 10 games in about 2 and a half weeks. There were still teams that had only played 6 or 7 games by the time we hit 10. Gotta make up for that somehow. I think the schedule starts to get a little more normal again after tonight.

And by "normal," I mean we have another back-to-back coming up next with another back-to-back next week as well. :/

He actually wasn't bad for his first two months as a Flyer. Then he hurt his back and has been terrible ever since.

Thank you, rest of the Pacific, for being so terrible.
I'm just glad that the organization has been true to their word and made the young guys a big part of this team. Makes this team much more fun to follow, even if they're losing. I can't remember the last time we've had youth coming up like this.

 

[Curufinwe]

Brandon Manning being in the lineup is making a lot us of us question what the new coach is doing. He's bad defensively and provides no offense to make up for it. He's a career AHLer and looks like it, so why can't Hakstol see that....

Also Raffl on the top PP unit makes no sense when that unit was so good with BSchenn in that spot last season.

 

[Pikma]

Is there a place where I can donate wins to the poor starving MultiJhonny? I'm starting to feel responsible

Spoiler

Starve to death, you fucker, you're never getting one of our hard earned wins

 

[ActStriker]

We still live in a world where the Bruins are first in Goals per game, and first in PP%.

I fully expect this to change tonight since I'm going to the game.

 

[MetatronM]

Just learned the Rangers are currently first in goals against per game. I'm going to go way out on a limb and predict that that is going to change tonight.

@mirtle: Leafs recall Bibeau. Bernier must be really hurting.

This is a great opportunity for Reimer to run with it and take the #1 spot he deserves.

 

[Pikma]

Nah. Stars fans are the people that used to be starving and got out (at the moment its only temporary we can see a collapse in no time with a 5 game losing streak) and we're giving back to the community.

Yeah, not sure how everyone else sees the Stars but I sure as fuck don't see them as the No.1 team in the west. Team has a looooot more to prove before they gain my trust

 

[Tabris]

[Merguson]

Yeah. That's right.

 

[Yawnier]

8. James Reimer beat back Dallas after an injury cost Jonathan Bernier the start, but word is Toronto is checking out goalie options. Tough to tell exactly what they are looking for — something short to get some wins or a more long-term solution.

The Maple Leafs have to be careful with this. You want to reward players for competing hard, but the goal is also to re-stock the system. They weren’t getting John Tavares in 2009, but Martin Gerber’s strong finish after arriving on waivers hurt their draft position. Then again, Lou Lamoriello and Mike Babcock might not care.

There were also some rumblings about Roman Polak talks with Los Angeles, but those were shot down.

No LA... No!!! Take Polak! Please! He has grit and leadership, and he blocks shots too!

 

[Kave_Man]

This is a great opportunity for Reimer to run with it and take the #1 spot he deserves.

Looking forward to seeing how he stumbles this time.

Neither of these guys want to be the #1.

 

[Red_Man]

Elliot brought up that stat I've been talking about for the past month in today's 30 thoughts

Regular readers of this blog know I keep special track of the standings on Nov. 1.

Starting in 2005-06, only five teams out of 44 have recovered to make the playoffs when at least five points out of the playoffs after games played on that date. Last year’s group went 0-for-4.

This season’s contenders are Anaheim, Colorado, Columbus and Toronto. (Buffalo, Calgary and Edmonton were all within four points of third place in their division.) In the Pacific, Anaheim is your best wager to beat the odds.
