2013 - Out Of Town Scoreboard - Part One - Hockey's Back!

[Chessarmy]

Can't wait to see the highlights of the Oilers/Nucks game. Edmonton is a fun team to watch

 

[manilaNJ]

Hemsky's game tying goal is definitely worth watching.

 

[DevilsAnimal*]

Canucks lose <3

 

[manilaNJ]

Frolik - Czech league
Stalberg - Sweden
Kane - Swiss League
Oduya - Thai league
Leddy/Shaw/Kruger/Saad/Bollig - AHL

Of the Devils opening night lineup, only Kovalchuk, Josefson, Tedenby, Little Gionta and Matteau had played any meaningful hockey in the past month.

It showed.

I think Mike Smith might be a flash in the pan. A decent goalie, but not what he was last year.

Nice shootout win for the Oilers. Hemsky beats Luu with a sick move.

He plays a less conventional style, and is also more reliant than most goalies on his team's defensive structure. I think he'll stabilize as the Yotes (and all teams) get their system play in order, and he can establish a rhythm. I'm not too concerned yet, although I will be in a few weeks if he's still not playing well. I traded Bryzgalov and a few players for Smith and a few players in my dynasty fantasy league last season, at Bryz's lowest of lows.

The Nash acquisition might have added one too many stars to the roster. Their roster reminds me of the late 90's early 00's Rangers when they signed or traded for every star they could get their hands on and sucked in the process.

You can't buy chemistry

In the interest of fairness, the Rangers have played two very good teams so far. And they only have three guys you can really consider 'merc' stars...Gaborik, Richards and Nash. Lundqvist is home-grown and not a merc.

That said, I don't think it's so much adding Nash that hurts them as it is losing key role players (Dubinsky/Prust/Anisimov).

 

[manilaNJ]

Speaking of Smith.... that was an ugly goal. Ew.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hossa again

Back to Back 2 goal games for him

I'm not even judging him on this game. I can just see him turning out higher average to average and not elite.

A Rags fan on Xbox LIVE just told me Kreider is going to score 40 goals next season

LOL not if he doesn't pick his head up. Anyone see Orpik lay him down like Stevens?

 

[Devilsfanatic0421]

Here comes the Coyotes.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Emery sucks

Hawks falling apart

 

[manilaNJ]

Great game so far. Traded momentum. Still a little bit of lingering heat from last year's playoffs.

Not exactly helping me get to bed on time, but one of the more entertaining games today.

 

[Devilsfanatic0421]

This game is bonkers.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Bolland goal #2 of night

 

[kiwidevil]

Weird goal. Smith not happy.

 

[apice3*]

Is it just me or is Hossa the best player in the world every year for the first two weeks of the season?

 

[aboriginal]

Emery sucks

Hawks falling apart

hilarious

 

[Bleedred]

This is one of the worst goaltended games I've seen in a while. Not because of the score, but because the goals scored have been legit bad for the goaltenders to give up.

 

[manilaNJ]

Considering this is a CHI/PHX game... it's going to go to OT, right?

Or is that just wishful thinking?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kruger/Frolik playing well especially on PK tonight

Both are -2 though because of poor goaltending/mistakes not made by them

That is good example of why +/- is not good judge of a player

I gotta get up for work in a few hours ,, I cant have this game go to OT

Alright I thought Emery had something wrong with him. I didn't catch the whole thing, but they were talking about it. I knew he had some kinda disorder or something though so I can't slag him too much for giving up those bad goals. Wasn't he projected to be pretty great at one time? He was pretty good for Ottawa like that year we played them in the playoffs the last time.
