[PROUD PAPA]

Having a lousy weather/sick day of binge watching hockey. Starting it with a quality tilt like this Panthers/Stars game sure is nice.

Panthers are about to run away with this division. About to beat the Stars back to back and then have a really easy next couple weeks.

 

[hamzarocks]

I Dont think there is a team in the atlantic that can win 2 games vs the panthers come playoffs

They look poisted to dominate the divisiom and comtend for another cup

 

[MSZ]

Watching the Chi/LA game now, shockingly found out that Rick Ball is now the PBP guy for the Chicago broadcast.

 

[BallardEra]

Protas and McMichael look like they've taken the next step this season.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Are the Caps actually....good?!? They have so many interesting forwards

McMichael and Protas are off to a great start.

McMichael and Protas are off to a great start.

Still early but they've beaten the Rangers, Vegas, Stars and Devils.

They've also allowed the least amount of shots per game so far this season.

 

[BallardEra]

Does Columbus realize it's a 5pm start today?

Yeah, the underlying stats support this start. And that's with garbage goaltending and PP

Bèrtuzzi on pace for 18 goals with 0 assists this year

I for one do not miss him

I don't think they will make it out of the second round this year. Lots of miles on those legs at this point, which is not a criticism. Going to three Cup finals in a row is pretty rarified territory. I don't think this Panthers team has that quality to it.

Is Timmy L making his Sharks debut tonight?

They should pair him with Ceci.

I can't imagine anyone misses him. I never understood what people saw in the guy to want to resign him.

San Jose announcers can't even pronounce Lilly's name properly

Edit: he apparently told the Sharks that he wants it to be pronounced with a J as thats the correct one. He just for some reason didn't correct anyone with the Leafs.

 

[ManosArriba]

Liljegren looking miserable on the Sharks bench when they zoomed in on his face, I feel bad for him.

Well, he had a good game.

Moved the puck well.

Was on the ice with Sharks net empty when they tied it up.

Ended the night +2, 16:57 TOI.

Sharks lost, but can't be blamed on him.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I can't imagine anyone misses him. I never understood what people saw in the guy to want to resign him.

Not sure there were more than a handful of fans who wanted to re-sign him. And definitely not at the price point required to have done so.

Sad thing is that he has the potential to be so much more than he is.

 

[horner]

He's a player that needed a change of scenery.
Iam surprised that Edmonton didn't trade for him .
His outlet paces have always been good .
He is playing relaxed now.

 

[BallardEra]

Tampa at Jets and Caps at Canes should be good ones to watch today.

Oilers and Flames as well for the rivalry.

He looked liked the Liljegren we saw at different times.

Took him a couple shifts and then he started making plays.

The Good

• Adam Gaudette - An AHLer in Toronto off to an absolutely blazing start with 6 goals.
• Ryan O'Reilly - The one that got away. At 4.5 Million, he's proven to be a great #1 Center for the Nashville Predators
• Stefan Noesen - A surprise for me as he hardly played here, only a game. But he's turned into a player in recent years. A late bloomer.
• Zach Aston-Reese - From a guy who was an AHLer last year, seems like he has revitalized his career.
• Mason Marchment - Seems to fit like a glove in Dallas as a PWF presence.
• Nick Foligno - Thought he was cooked in Toronto, he's been a good since joining Chicago and has been a great locker room presence for their team.

The Bad

• Zach Hyman and Michael Bunting have had horrific seasons, both look awful. 3 points between both in a combined 23 games.
• Tyler Bertuzzi - Has had another slow start, looks like we've made the right decision there.
• Pierre Engvall - Spent most of the year with Bridgeport in the AHL. According to NYI fans he was very pedestrian in training camp.
• Sam Lafferty - Has taken a big step backwards from his previous few seasons.
• Ilya Mikheyev - Looks absolutely cooked.
• Kasperi Kapanen - Has struggled to be an NHL starting forward the past few seasons.
