Around The League 40: As we barrel towards 40 teams

[Blueline Bomber]

Washington is so bad. They are down 2-0 after one. They managed 3 shots.

You hate to see it

Weren't we down 3-0 after one yesterday? Against a team that's probably going to be worse than Calgary?

Glass houses and all that

It's 2-2 now, although they're still getting outshot 30-9.

I got to stop reverse jinxing teams. Calgary is pretty meh though

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Columbus is something else. I understand Columbus struggles to attract FAs. The funny thing is watching them spend big money and assets on wingers and defenders who are easier to get in terms of numbers available. Yet they continue their streak of mediocrity without centers and goalies.

They lucked into a top center in the last draft but they still need 2 other good ones. I say lucked as injuries kept them from being a mushy middle team.

Tampa had 3 shots in the 1st vs Ottawa last night.

And they won… but no progress towards their ultimate goal since Ovi didn’t score

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Here's the thing, even against a bad team, you can't lay such an egg in the first period and expect to win the game. I hope the Canes learn that tomorrow night.

Devils off to a worse start to their season than us, at least.

Meier only had one shift in the 3rd period

Yup. Devils got down 4-0 and Ruff sending a message. They made it a game at the end too.

Meier hasn’t been a great fit yet. I hope it stays that way

If I've got a legit Franchise Goalie I'm not sure I'd want him joining in a post game brawl (or any brawl for that matter).

 

[HisIceness]

Whoa!

There's a game on ESPN right now (Lightning vs Sabres) that isn't Caps vs Penguins vs Flyers vs Rangers vs Bruins vs Blackhawks. Amazing!

 

[WreckingCrew]

Sabers up 2-0, Dahlin was about to challenge Watson after a hit on Josi but Girgensons stepped in for him and got clobbered with about 5 straight hammers

 

[HisIceness]

Would it be possible to borrow this fine gentleman for our teams power plays?

Chialleri wisely backed off that one.

TB pulls their goalie and scores with 7 seconds left to tie the game.

edit: And Sabres dominate the OT to win.

wait, you're allowed to SCORE a goal FOR when you pull your goalie?

 

[WreckingCrew]

Buffalo straight dominated OT, including when Tuch lost an edge with the goalie out of the net and a Tampa guy right there, then a broken stick as the lone guy back. Cozens with a straight f***ing snipe to win it
