Around Hockey XXV (All Non-Jackets Hockey Talk Here)

Ah yes, though I'm pretty sure they changed something on that schedule page since I posted my earlier message? Or I'm just early in turning senile... but I'm not usually too bad about this stuff and the website did a great job confusing me.
I dunno, there's 82 reg. season games + playoffs, the only thing even remotely interesting about preseason is seeing some young guys get some games in against at least partially NHL level competition, but then again it's preseason so no one gives a crap but the guys fighting for spots
But that just me, I'm not die hard enough.

NCAA is getting closer to opening Men's Hockey to Canadian Juniors players. In all fairness, perhaps it is also time for Canadian Juniors to drop its age restriction on its players going to the AHL.

I know its early but NJ looks like a real contender so far this season. Their offseason acquisitions have really made a difference in these first few games and they haven't even gotten a goal from Jack Hughes yet.

Markstrom is an upgrade over what they had for sure. And Jake Allen shutting out Utah today is the best you could ask from a backup for sure.

From reading their board it appears so. Maybe we could ship Elvis to them. Then they'd have 3 goalies with terrible GAA & Save %.

Oilers sucked at the beginning of last season and they turned it around.
The interesting question is if the Avs continue to suck and they fire Bednar, what percentage of HF CBJ would want to fire Evason and replace him with Bednar.

I flew to Washington DC today to see a concert tomorrow and it turns out my hotel is around the corner from the Caps arena so I thought I would go to a capitals game for the first time since I was 9 years old in 1977
I'm watching the Montreal game now and during breaks (thanks vkontakte.ru for record
). Except Suzuki, there are no centers for the TOP 6. Dach has not found his play yet, Evans and Dvorak do not have a sense of combination hockey, only vertical. In the second line, the Armia is...., generally an amorphous player. The third and fourth are completely vertical, in defense, as we have in the 2022/23 season. Only young Hutson and Guhle can make a high-quality first pass. Savard is very slow. But only he and Ghule have a sense of playing a defensive position, which helps PK (the fourth best in the NHL if believe www.nhl.com).
And then there's age... if the opponent has experienced players who can play the pass, Montreal has problems. In short, changes are needed and it's worth starting with the Armia, ideal 4th line player but not for the TOP 9.
By the way, Anderson is playing very well, he would have scored a goal, there are chances.

I know the Caps beat a good team last night and they’ve gotten up to a good start, but they have very little speed on that team and their defense is not very good. They rely on hard work and grinding, and I’m not sure if that’s going to be something that works for 82 games.
PLD played like he can when he’s playing well. He centered a line with Tom Wilson and they were incredibly effective and they seem to have a good chemistry so that might work, but I think they looked really slow as a team.

"that chick from Ohio"
Honestly, I haven't been watching and so can't really say one way or the other.
Is there a way to embed NHL.com goals here? I can't seem to get a proper link to the individual goals they post...
I really liked our old buddy Gustav Nyquist's 3-0 goal against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Very sneaky shot, would love to see more of this kind of play in the league. (Gamecenter)

The changeup! I didn't know that was possible.
I appreciate the gamecenter link.

I found the highlight vid for the goal specifically, clicked on the "embed" option and it said "link copied" I pasted the link in a post and hit "post reply" and voila!
