Official NHL Season 14-15 Thread

[philou21]

Wow what's wrong with TBL these days? NHL season is started and no thread about it yet.

Anyway it's not like there is much to say so far.

[CJ]

Yeah I was wondering the same thing! But I think the season has had a nice start.

[philou21]

Except that the goddamn Wild is still having the Avs number. God I hate that team jow.

[philou21]

The Oilers will find the season long again this year!! Another 6 goals score against. I think they are at like 20 already in 3 games.

Also, the Florida Panthers got a crowd of 7000 people at their last home game. That's more than awful. The reporter who mentioned that said that from the top of the building he could hear Gallant calling his lines.

[batdad]

Oilers hate their coach. Ramsey brought in because he is a player guy. But...they still hate. Doesn't help them that RNH gets hurt against Van...well Hamhuis...and they have a 5'2 #1 centre now. Oh and Eberle got hurt in that game too. NOtice something about way teams play Edmonton for oh....3 years now. Hit them hard, they go away.

Yes the arena looked REALLY empty while watching the highlights.

[philou21]

Oilers allowed another 7 goals. ROFL

[CJ]

Didn't know where else to post this but it seems World Cup will be back in 2016!!

[philou21]

Really? Where have you seen that?

Avalanche are meat. No Varlamov, no Berra. Pickard and some guy from Finnnnniiiiiiiiland I have never heard of.

[philou21]

Yeah I've seen that too. Rough start this year for sure.

Lucic made an ass of himself again yesterday. Now he got a "big" fine of 5000$ because of that. I can't believe someone can be that stupid lol

Aittokallio is good!

[MWE]

Vancouver 3 and 0
No Sestito though

[batdad]

AIIIITAKAKAKAAKTALLIIIIIOOOO may be good, but he is not a proven starter at all. Neither is Pickard. Look at the rosy side of the street all you want, but the kid is the #4 goalie for the avalanche right now, and with 3 of the 4 ahead of him...that is not saying much. SO..... until he proves himself, trouble. Tommy Salo was supposed to be good, so was that Toskala guy. Well....

[philou21]

Toskala was decent until he joined with the Leafs.

[philou21]

Pretty good game between the Avs and the Habs tonight! Pickard did a better job than I thought he would. Subban scored a great goal too!

Thumbs up to Henrik Sedin who gave his stick to a kid who got hit on the head by a lose puck.

I read that Voynov got arrested in an history of domestic violence and now he's suspended by the Kings. What do Russians players have with their girlfriends?

[batdad]

Suspended by NHL not the Kings. My how a year makes a difference. Last year NHL had nary a comment, this year after the NFL issues...out comes the hammer. Which should have come out last year for Varlamov, but did not. A suspension until we know what happened, and what the courts say is a great idea for PUBLIC RELATIONS. Had they not done this their would have been an outcry.

In the background NHL will be telling Voynov and Kings that they had to do this because of the NHL issues, and not guilty until he is proven so, but have to do it. Which is true...they had to do it. NFL mess left them in no way able to get out of it.

[philou21]

Yeah I thought about it too. It's good in some ways if the NHL starts to take those case more seriously.

Nothing bad has come from being influenced purely by pressure of the media, right....

[Alessandro]

Slightly OT - I just published this translated interview with Sergei Fedorov about his time in Detroit, his trades, and a lot of interesting stuff from that period, a good read for hockey history enthusiasts http://bit.ly/1FOJec9

[philou21]

Did you really met him or was it by phone or whatever? Must have been awesome!

[philou21]

And by the way good interview! Though I don't know why but the part with Burke and his brother was...weird to me. Always thought his brother was an ok player and that was why he did not make it far.

[CJ]

Nice article!!
