[Soundgarden]

Continuing the tradition from last years thread.

Former 3rd round pick Justin Kirkland scored his first goal, as a Flame.

Ryan Suter is still hanging on as a Blue, scored his first the other day too.

Fiala had 2 goals and Tanner Jeannot scored to send it to overtime in a 8-7! Kings loss.

Suter was always a great skater and a smart player so I'm not shocked he has had a long career, but, it is pretty crazy he is still in the league at this point.....2003 draft pick.

When I first got really into hockey after the 2005 lockout I seem to remember most guys being considered toast by 35. This new generation of athletes, in different sports, are pushing the boundaries for how long a person can remain a professional athlete.

Jagr still outdoes them all though.

Expansion has alot to do with some of these guys still having jobs. More teams, more spots to fill. I think too lots of these guys are getting spots based on their past names more so than current performance. I mean Dallas fans talked nothing but about how bad Suter was.

Jagr is a beast and it’s amazing what he’s still doing in Europe at his age, but Gordie still takes the prize for longevity in hockey I think.

Egor is not exactly setting the KHL on fire... pretty much buried in that CSKA lineup...

Askarov with back to back shut outs, because of course.

Atleast Edstrom is looking decent and we still have a future 1st

It's funny in how things currently look we will be getting a couple of lower 1sts from Vegas and Tampa, and our own pick will be right at the top

If we maintain this pace, the Abrams will look more like a U-boat. 0-82 would be some real shock and awe campaign.

Nah I fully expect this team at some point to go on a run, and will shock the hockey world by sneaking into the playoffs and getting rolled in the first round. No 0-82 for me!

Somehow that reads as being even more cynical than people saying we'd go 0-82.

Olivier up to 4 goals on the season. Close to tying his career high already.

Dang, good for him - glad to see him doing well.

 

[Kat Predator]

Ekky got his second.

 

[hockey diva]

Sherwood scored for Vancouver Saturday night.

 

[herzausstein]

Out of those that were on the team last season, Zucker is doing quite well. 2G 5A in 10 games. Beauvillier isnt doin bad with 3G 1A in 10 games. Glass has 3A in 9 games.

Lankinen looking like a freakin starter with 6 games .920 sv% and 2.29 GAA

 

[sparkle twin]

Fiala a healthy scratch tonight, supposedly for missing a team meeting.

 

[Soundgarden]

Tolvanen with 1g in a trouncing against Montreal

Dang, good for him - glad to see him doing well.

He's shooting at like 66.7% so that element probably isn't going to last, but he's been absolutely fantastic all around up here and pretty much driving his line's play. Pretty much everybody desperately wants to keep him.

Who would have guessed that out of Olivier, Jeannot, and Trenin... Olivier turns out to be the keeper.
