Around the League thread: Phil in Pitt. And other NHL topics

[Cor]

McDavid looked solid in first two shifts.

No real chances, but caused a couple turnovers where if it wasnt the end of his shifts, maybe he beats out the Blues players

Who else is going to catch Phil's Penguins debut?

His speed the killer thing here, you can tell he's going to have alot of instances where he blows by slower defenders.

special player for sure, but hockey is not basketball, it takes a great team to win a cup these days, not just a couple stars.

Kessel and the Pens down 1-0.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Edmonton up 1-0 after a weird own goal by the Blues.

Gotta concentrate on one thing, now I see the presidents cup golf is on which seems to be live from Korea. Schedule some of this stuff in February

I thought McDavid took the faceoff for a second which would have made it his first career goal. Would have been one of the weirdest 1st career goals ever.

Lehner injured for Buffalo. Never like injuries but a little bit of karma for Buffalo who shipped out everyone goalie who could make a save last year.

not sure the guys would like playing golf in Korea in February

Kessel and the Pens down 1-0.

Leaf fans will be happy to know that Phil is invisible in a Pitts uni too.. so far 2 good scoring chances against Phil's line, one off the crossbar. Center Ice is free for the first few games BTW.

Not to mention that Timmy gave up a 1 and took on Legwands bad year to his uncle when the market didn't dictate that kind of return.

Then Korea never gets the competition again.

That's how I'm keeping up with all these games lol. The beginning of the season is always a treat because of the free preview.

As far as Kessel goes I couldn't care less how he does. All I want from the Pens this year is for them to squeak into the playoffs and to get knocked out in the first round, giving us a relatively high pick.

 

[p.l.f.]

How many Connor commercials are there lol

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jeez Dallas getting outshot 10-4.

Winning though, so "Keep Calm Corsi's Wrong" is in full effect.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I got lucky and just caught Eichel's first NHL Goal in the nick of time. Still 2-1 for the Sens.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Kane ties it at 2-2 under two minutes after the Eichel goal.

 

[garce]

Offside

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Never mind Kane goal doesn't count. Offside.

Leaf fans will be happy to know that Phil is invisible in a Pitts uni too..

Pens fans should be relieved to know that you've come to this conclusion after 6:54 of ice-time for Kessel.

 

[garce]

That was miniscule there are going to be a lot of goals that used to count that are going to be called back. Breaks momentum too..

 

[Gary Batman]

That last play by Eichel was even better than his goal.

That is how good this kid is.

It was Karlsson, he can't turn while skating backwards.

that's how Dallas rolls, y'all.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Holy Hemsky with a wicked shot. 2-0 Dallas.

 

[Gary Batman]

As good as Penguins offense is, their defense is equally bad.

^ That shot was a thing of beauty. So glad I switched to Buffalo game for Eichel goal, and now to Stars game.
