Around the League Part XIII: The season's here, and so still is this thread!

[Vesa Awesaka]

Anyone think the crowds are pretty tame to start this season. Its pretty quiet

 

[OmniSens]

Byron scores, Canucks reply with an easy goal. 2-1 Canucks.

Hockey, welcome back

The crowds are always tame in Toronto.

First time watching hockey since June. Sharks score 2 quick ones.

 

[Qward]

Quick needs to stop playing the puck

 

[Super Cake]

Kings in regular season mode.

 

[Milan the God*]

Glad to see the Sharks having some success against the Kings after last year. Always had a soft spot for the Sharks.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

The Sharks had been waiting for a shot at this for a long time

Good for them

Too bad they fold like cheap suits come playoff time. All. The. Time.

 

[Caeldan]

Quick out, Jones in for the 3rd

Yis. My plan for our HF pool is all coming together. Muwahahha

 

[Suiteness]

I wonder what goes through the heads of San Jose Sharks fan after seeing that pouding they just handed to the Kings? How maddening it must all be?

 

[YNWA14]

Have to say both Calgary and Vancouver look awful.

Random playoff seeding question: If the 3rd place team in the Atlantic division has fewer points than the 5th place team in the Metropolitan division, would the 3rd place team in the Atlantic have the 8th seed or the 6th seed?

Perhaps its easier to ask if the two wildcard spots are automatically the 7th and 8th seeds?

WC are 7th and 8th.
Remember playoffs stay divisional though, so not as much a factor now. They'll always be away team if making it second round

Boooooo!

I went into last nights Habs/Leafs game thinking I hate the Habs more now so I wanted the Leafs to win. But I realized I can't cheer for either team, I like seeing both teams lose - its a little confusing.

Thanks! Appreciate the knowledge.

Seriously

I was pumped when Toronto scored to tie 3-3 but then thought "oh no, 3 point games are bad for us" and "I can't believe I'm happy Toronto tied the game late!"

Then Montreal scored to take the lead and was sad but thought "hey no 3 point game!" and "**** you Montreal"

It was confusing for sure

United in schadenfreude.

 

[aragorn]

Good to see the stinking Leafs lose last night, they have a lot of new faces in their lineup. IMO both the Leafs & Montreal are beatable in our division, Detroit is getting old as is Boston & Florida & Buffalo should be beatable. Tampa could be a stronger team but Ottawa with their size & speed should be right in there with anyone else in this division IMO. I'm hoping for a good yr.

It's already time to panik in Toronto.

Toronto claims Panik off waivers from TBay.

Predictable jokes are adorable.

But they fit so well with my lifestyle.
