I missed the opening, but I am here now! Hope it's a good season

 

[70sSanO]

I think I’d play Reimer tonight. It might be a brutal loss. Might as well keep Dostal feeling positive.

He’ll have more than enough chances getting beat up.

Did they announce Dostal or Reiner?

Rob Reiner is filling in tonight!

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

I think Gauthier made a lot of mistakes, largely due to the lack of experience and maybe some because of a bad decision making. Felt very much fixable, not sure if it happens tonight tho. He and Leo perhaps were also a bit impatient (inexperienced?), together with Killorn being a bit invisible, that line was meh at best.
They need to calibrate and should improve a lot soon

One of my biggest issues with Cronin is sticking too long with lines that don't work (which is better than the opposite, changing things too quickly) but I really hope he doesn't try to force that line to work. I'd swap Killorn with Zegras or even Terry in a couple games if they still haven't figured it out.

Zel wasn't good, let him have a game to watch and see what happens for the next one.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Vaak-Gudas? Reunited and it feels so good.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Zell, unfortunately, deserves the box. He was subpar last night.

This NHL schedule is dumb

This NHL schedule is dumb

Yes it is but I'm not mad at getting to watch two games in two days after having to wait so long.

Yes it is but I'm not mad at getting to watch two games in two days after having to wait so long.

But is this going to be a game worth watching?

Who am I missing? Did Loney wear the C at some point? I’m getting old and my memory is bad.

Ahlers sounds a little under the weather or is it just me

[slippingsloth]

So Reimer it is’

Let’s go ducks

[slippingsloth]

Whether or not its worth watching —- can’t be worse than the Cowboys game
I will be watching either way

I'm just being realistic. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Meaningful 3rd period minutes. Sound like a coach at least if you are going to be all pessimist

You're probably right. I hope it's a good game though.

I only see 8 as well. Loney captaining the expansion team and Pronger in 07-08 when Nieds and Teemu held out are the only other ones you're missing that came to mind

 

[Hockey Duckie]

For some reason, I think JG Wentworth should have bought a spot after Easton & Easton commercial. "JG Wentworth... 877-Cash Now!"

 

[Unholy]

Season opener and all but I would have maybe saved Dostal for tonights game

 

[slippingsloth]

Theodore. The one that got away… stupid expansion. Bieksa Vaat Stoner Always forget till i see him
