Good for him

Damn, guess he's never coming home lol. Really stuck it to this franchise for giving up on him, f***ing Lou (and yes I'm aware NYI and TB did as well)

Utah gameday is about what I expected. Looking forward to going to a game there soon.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

Love to see the Bruins get clowned on... Hate the fact that is the Panthers doing the clowning.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Yeti players must have been pumped as hell to play in front of an actual NHL home crowd for once

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Despite all the additions Chicago still looks like crap.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Despite all the additions Chicago still looks like crap.

Utah investing in their blue line with Serg and Marino helps

That being said Chicago with a few posts in the second, that hurts

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Maroon on the second unit PP!? Oy vey.

It's early, but they sure like collecting Leafs with Mikhaeyev, Brodie, and Bertuzzi .

I could see them going Liljegren as well.

 

[LaPlante94]

I feel like Sergachev could've killed Bedard there but let up and it cost his team a goal against.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

this pp from chicago looks worse than the leafs mid playoffs lol

jones's puck skills make rielly looks like makar

 

[Rare Jewel]

Maroon on the second unit PP!? Oy vey.

There were guys on waivers a few days ago that would be improvements on this.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I know I shouldn’t be but somehow I’m still surprised by how horrible the Hawks are.
Berard has nothing to work with there.

they need more former Leafs

Really evident on these powerplays with multiple failed entries and constant giveaways. Hall is the worst culprit for this, dude just doesn't have it anymore.

 

[Rare Jewel]

We should look to help them out with that.


Forgot Mrazek, as well.

 

[notDatsyuk]

I just finished watching the Florida/Boston game, and I swear I've seen better D in our 45+ beer league.

 

[LeafEgo]

I feel like Sergachev could've killed Bedard there but let up and it cost his team a goal against.

Good on him, Chara probably had to let up every game.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Hawks pressing for the equalizer.

 

[ULF_55]

Chicago woke up?

Watched first 2 periods and brutal.

Wondered where the phenom went ... kind of reminded me of watching Cowan in preseason.

Missed most of the 3rd. so far doing some business, but sounds like it's a game now.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

I was wrong about Montreal being the worst team in the league.

Chicago is definitely way worse. It's almost like building your team out of Leafs rejects isn't the best way to go. Even the coach used to play for Toronto.

Everything about Utah seems half assed.

From the goalie's unpainted helmet to not having a team name. There's a lot of unfinished business. I guess they wanted out of Arizona sooooo badly they didn't care about what happened when they got to the final destination.

You'd almost think it was me who organized and planned their relocation.

At least they got a real arena this year. They have a lot of good young talent too. Congratulations for not being the biggest joke in the league anymore.

That honour belongs to Chicago now.

 

[stats1]

Good luck Chicago with Brodie….. Yikes! Guy should honestly retire. He looks cooked and we’re through 1 game. Guy is absolute trash lol I can’t believe we stuck with him for so long

Gotta give Maurice a ton of credit.
He has turned this team into a powerhouse and they play some great hockey.

They are an extremely aggressive team.

In all aspects of the game. From the 2-1-2 forecheck, to running of the goalie, to the face washes off the draw. They will beat you in the alley and on the score card.

A hypercharged team at their peak and they know it.

Yep they play physical and aggressive hockey for 60 mins consistently.
It's a hard style to play because it takes a toll to play that way but it's even harder to deal with as a opponent.
We need to become better in this regard if we want to have more success.
