Ain't even salty about this. Would be nice for the Leafs to play spoiler, but at the same time, Habs are having a great run.

I honestly think Edmonton will end our Streak

 

[Pikma]

So since Demers is out for the next two games, it seems like Jo Benn will move to the second pair. The Nemeth-Oleksiak pair will make their debut tonight, so the remaining piece, Jokipakka, will have to be a healthy scratch.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I just found my commemorative 2008 Red Wings Stanley Cup Sports Illustrated issue. Now I'm depressed again.

 

[Cake Boss]

These fucking lines are terrible.

Lazar on top line instead of Ryan, michalek still on the 2nd line, an AHL callup automatically on the 3rd line while prince is still stuck with Smith and Neil on the 4th line.

Give this coach 2 months until he's fired.

 

[MultiJhonny]

I have to work tonight... Last time I worked a saturday night we lost 7-1...

I do not have high hopes.

What do the Full lines look like?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Lazar-Turris-Stone
Michalek-Zibanejad-Ryan
Prince-Pageau-Chiasson
McCormick-Smith-Neil

http://www.dailyfaceoff.com/ will always have the most recent lines for all teams. Great resource.

That's... Not great..? Why is Lazar even on the top line?

 

[Merguson]

Peter Holland scratched in favour of Byron Froese... loooool

 

[Red_Man]

Wonder if Byron draws in for Flynn tonight

[MultiJhonny]

Couturier is out still

fucking rinaldo

Flynn played for the rest of the game last night.

I don't think he was injured

 

[Pikma]

Couturier is out still

fucking rinaldo

Fucking DOPS

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Montoya in net... Be gentle Dallas.

Wait what? What happened to Luongo?

Edit: Lehtonen will start, so I guess we're even..

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Wait what? What happened to Luongo?

Team played like poo in Chi, changing it up I guess.

 

[MultiJhonny]

So it looks like Gagner will be in for Coots to play Center like how he finished last game. Be on the line with Simmonds and Read.

Loving the way he has been performing for us.

 

[Foggy]

Has Subban finally started playing the right way? Can't think of any other reason for success.

 

[zroid]

Way too early NHLEs for 2015 1st round forwards:

Forwards with limited ice time in the NHL are unfairly punished (Eichel, Rantanen, etc) and a lot of these guys haven't played many games, so there's not much to read into yet. Still thought it'd be fun for fans to see how their prospects stack up early.

Maybe a NHLe for P/60 would be better able to control for usage

[Silver Arrows]

well, back to the Caps full time now

 

[CreeperBlocks]

YO

 

[Silver Arrows]

YO

ehhhhhhh

I don't like it as much as the 2011 one, looks too simple, like it was done by a fifth grader who was in Photoshop the first time

 

[zroid]

I agree, although we can only use TOI estimates in the CHL. They don't track player ice time, which is stupid.

that's true, although if there's a linear relationship between PPG in the CHL and NHL, there is probably one between CHL PPG and NHL P/60, possibly with a higher coefficient. might not even need CHL TOI to simply improve the projections.

 

[Sanjuro]

That logo is being used as well.

ehhhhhhh

Yup. There is no reason why that shouldn't have been our alternative sweaters.

 

[Silver Arrows]

That logo is being used as well.

See, I like the spoked B at the back, just not the bear logo, looks way too simple, and the way the font raises up and down across the logo looks weird

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Now we wait for The Habs one. My prediction is we will see it in a few weeks

Hopefully they use their prison outfits and network executives freak out.

 

[Red_Man]

Mike Babcock called line of Max Pacioretty, Tomas Plekanec and Brendan Gallagher the best line in hockey right now.

Nice words from the Babs

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Nice words from the Babs

There's still time for him to jump ship to Montreal

 

[HadesGigas]

Wow... Linus Ullmark's mask is something...

 

[Stasis]

That mask... not sure if hate or kinda like. I think hate.

Edit: real rivalries tonight and were not Wednesday with the NHL inventing non-existant ones!

Granted the Leafs prolly won't upset the Habs streak and that rivalry isn't -as- intense as it once was but still. Flyers/Rangers too. McIlrath pls. Gonna watch both with some buddies and play NHL16 in between even if it kinda sucks.

We busted out the PS3 with NHL14 last time and it was more fun. Just time consuming as fuck to have accurate teams.

 

[zroid]

good lord, is that a Minion?

please no

 

[ZeroGravity]

Minions are the worst thing ever.

 

[Smiley90]

MY BRETHREN

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Minions are the worst thing ever.

I don't like those films.

 

[Bobs Big Boy]

Might be the worst goalie mask. Buffalo and their aesthetics huh.

 

[Marvie_3]

Minions are the worst thing ever.

This. So fuckin sick of seeing them everywhere

 

[Quick]

I enjoyed both Despicable Me movies, and Minions was funny enough, but its invasion is just insane.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I finished life is strange...Ill be over here on the couch staring blankly at the wall if anyone needs me

 

[Quick]

YO

Too much black, not enough yellow. Kind of like the large stripes though. Gonna have to see the complete set (pants, helmet, socks) to really judge it.

The logo is a product of its time. It's really hokey-looking, but it's not bad. Nice break from the spoked B logo.

I'm surprised they didn't go with lace-up collars. But it looks like a vintage collar style anyway (crewneck). I don't think I've seen a Reebok template with that collar style yet, it must've been done specifically for this jersey.

Icethetics got it close enough.

 

[zroid]

The Wild just hired a new analytics consultant.

Alexandra Mandrycky. More women in front offices is always a good thing. She did a lot of work for War-on-Ice previously.

 

[Calamari41]

The Minions are third world Soccer mascot-tier.

 

[Stasis]

I'm digging the white C on the Habs jersey, I gotta admit. If they do that everyone here is gonna buy one I'm sure.

Don't think that's been done before, has it? Not that I remember... since I've been paying attention to hockey anyway. About 12 years or so now.

edit: The blue jersey had it, but that wasn't the "real" modern era C, so it doesn't count!

They did the white C on the red jerseys in 1923-1924, but never on the white jersey.

 

[MetatronM]

Same lineup tonight for the Rangers. I probably will miss the game live, so I'll have to catch up later.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Buffalo now deserves what it gets.

 

[Ricker]

If tonight's game was in Toronto I would be scared as hell...but au Centre Bell...,we got this again ;P

 

[MultiJhonny]

well I am off to work. Sadly will miss the game against the Rags...

Hope we win. Not expecting to lose but won't be surprised.

As long as it isn't the last time I worked on a game night....

 

[zroid]

As long as Bernier is in goal it's a guaranteed Habs win, regardless of venue
