dlbalr Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The season's only about an hour old so this is earlier than usual for me remembering to start this thread. Discuss the goings-on around the NHL here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeLassister Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Can't really say that we have an easy Schedule in October. Toronto 2x St-Louis 2x The Sharks, the Knights, Tampa Bay... Even our home ice opener is the 2nd of a back to back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks to be Toronto, St. Louis, San Jose, Las Vegas, and Tampa Bay, but at least those teams will have a softer schedule later in the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spezza was benched for the home debut for ridiculous, petty reasons...Matthews is a #metoo embarrassment...Babcock has lost collective goodwill and there are rumours of him and Dubas being at odds...and the whole culture around the team is riven with anxiety that this stacked team has a horrible playoff record and may never make the jump to playoff success. Toronto is exactly like Montreal in that the fishbowl leads to exaggerated hysteria which can then throw an organization off track (as happened to the Habs in 2009 and 2012, say). The odds of a melt-down in the TO pressure-cooker are significant. Let's hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question there is a lot of pressure for the Leafs to win this year, expectations are high and Babcock is running out of rope. It would be a real shame to see a melt down there. Not that I like to wish for bad things to happen to other teams but I can only imagine how difficult it would be to be around Leafs fans if they won the cup. Heaven forbid.

revvvrob Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I DO NOT want the Maples anywhere near Lord Stanley’s Cup ... but I can’t help but wonder if the fastest track for the Habs to hoist it again might be if the Maples did happen to win it all this year. Would any remaining sense of complacency be eradicated at the ownership level by a Maples championship?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Tampa was outshot 44-13 by Carolina last night. Shots by period for Tampa Bay: 1) 11 2) 0 3) 2 I’m not sure when I’ve last seen 0 shots in a period...and they still managed to get into overtime.

Trizzak Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Malkin and Bjugstad are out long term for the Pens, Malkin longer than Bjugstad. Galchenyuk finally gonna be a top 6 centerman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of giving the C to someone who's just basically starting out in the league. Horvat's still young himself but this is his sixth season already.

I'm not a fan of giving the C to someone who's just basically starting out in the league. Horvat's still young himself but this is his sixth season already. Horvat is the obvious choice and was identified as captain material almost from his first NHL game. Any other choice would have been sheer pig-headed stupidity. Not that this is an unknown quality to NHL GMs/coaches. Incidentally, I like the Canucks this year. They've added two top-4 D in Myers and Hughes, which alone is enough to transform a team. They've also added enough FW depth that they should be competitive every night. I see them as having a really legit chance to make the dance this season. Not that you'd know that from the fog of negativity following the fanbase around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I liked horvat for captain even last year. Hughes is crazy good. Its cool to see all the pieces in Vancouver come together. I'm almost jealous Hughes is not a Canadien. But I think kk has a massive upside so I'll have to rein in my jealousy a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes...love, love, love players like that. 🤙 He'll probably falter at some point, but so far he's like Petterson in that he just oozes skill. It's crazy.

Yeah not a fan of bye weeks in NHL. This isn't football. Maybe they should take a week out of preseason and start the season earlier. Its almost like today's sports athletes are to pampered.

alfredoh2009 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We are approaching the 10 game mark, and I find myself with little to complain about the CH; I also cannot find much to praise I have watched all games, mostly on PVR; and although some games have been very entertainment, I am still not convince the CH is anything more than a wildcard team Laval seems full of promise but short on evidence that better seats are here now. I hope the next 11 games provide us with confirmation of what the 2019-2020 team is made of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
