Cue the "So this is what baseball fans go through" comments after we play the Penguins 4 times in 9 days

Get familiar with the term "rubber game"

 

[Rongomania]

Phone battery at 79%. Just sayin.

Isles really Gooned it up with that squad. What did they think Oglethorpe and the Syracuse Bulldogs were coming to town?

Johnson
Martin
Mayfield
Clutterbuck

mayfield is a top 4 d, Martin and clutter are on the best fourth line in hockey, and it’s Johnston . Weirdly enough isles fans have no idea who plays on line 3 tonight other than pageau.

just wanna say f the rags but I think your team is entering wagon territory. Looking forward to some (hopefully) spark in the rivalry again. Let’s all enjoy some hockey tn and good luck on the season

FYI: We got Bread for like a million less than you guys offered.

Smart of Lou to carry a goon with no one in the division to fight. Steve McKenna skating ability in 2021. Awesome

 

[True Blue]

The waiting is over!

You took the words right out of my mouth. I actually cannot believe that I see a pregame thread again.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I'm surprised people are are complaining about the amount of division games. I absolutely love it.

Gives me something to talk shit and make side bets w buddies about who are Isles, Devils, Bs, Pens, Flyers, Caps fans.

Plus the familiarity has to breed some angst and heat up rivalries a bit.

 

[romba]

Division games are good with a few non divisional games here and there. 56/82 would be fine. 56/56 is a bit much, but I'm thrilled to have any semblance of a season.

 

[LORDE]

Pre Game talk???? PRE-GAME?!!!

This is a MOTHER F-ING LOFFEN GAME DAY THREAAAAAD BITCHES!!!

Change that category Mods! Plz!!!

I have two six packs on the line with a Devils fan buddy:

1. NYR vs NJD head to head record.
2. Kakko vs Hughes even strength points.

Easiest 12 beers I’ve ever won.

That was FAST

KAAPO KAKKO AND ALEXIS LAFRENIÉRE LETS f***ING DROP THE PUCK

 

[CasusBelli]

I just get tired of seeing the same team regardless.

I forgot to mention Buffalo. Their logo might be the ugliest in the league for me — and that color scheme doesn’t do anyone any favors. Also: Sabres? Is this a fencing club or are we in Season 8 of The Office with James Spader coaching.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Today is a damn good day.

It is a pleasure to be here with you all.

 

[Riseonfire]

Just stopping by to give the grumpy neighbors a happy "f*** you, enjoy the season".

 

[LORDE]

That was FAST

Squeaky wheel gets the grease

Exactly right. Juice the rivalries again and even create new ones. If this gets ratings, I can see a scenario where some sort of similar format is created.

I could care les about seeing Arizona. Let the young Rangers grow up really hating the opposition. Familiarity breeds lots of contempt.

I wouldn’t go that far

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I think Islanders have big advantage in physicality and in coaching over Rangers. This could get ugly.

I know it won't happen but I would love this schedule whenever we get back to 82 game seasons. I love it.

Almost doesn't feel real that this is tonight. Cannot wait to see Laf in action!!

It will feel good to debate actual hockey games again, as opposed to theoreticals or the stupidity of what is going on in the world
