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

[Pi]

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

Terrible. I just hope they barely makes the playoffs so we get a good pick. They are first round fodder IMO.

 

[Gary Batman]

All hail the Art Ross Trophy nominee Antti Niemi. 2A in this game so far.

 

[garce]

Big McKinnon year incoming? 2 A already.

 

[Schenn]

Oh I forgot about that pick! Normally I like to cheer for Pittsburgh, but this year let's hope they are out in Round 1!

That picks 20 at best and likely this management will trade that for two or three lower picks. Not sure it matters where they finish unless it goes incredibly bad.

St Louis arena is quiet.

Also on the #McDavidWatch front he just had his first career shot.

The 3v3 OT between TB and PHI was the greatest thing ever

Agreed it was completely nuts

I already like it better than the shootout.

What happened? Been watching McDavid,

 

[Pi]

What happened? Been watching McDavid,

2 on 0's, 2 on 1's, crazy turnovers, penalty shot, just amazing.

 

[Cor]

What happened? Been watching McDavid,

Everything. Not even lying.

Multiple breakaways, 2-on-1's, 2-on-0's, a penalty shot.

And a Jason Garrison breakaway goal to end it.

All within like 3 minutes.

It's hockey on steroids

Sorry I missed it, no chance they can coach it down you think?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Fabbri gets his first career goal for the Blues. 2-1 St. Louis

 

[TMLeafer]

So does McDavid get an assist on Brouwer's goal?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

St. Louis with an empty netter and lead 3-1. Edmonton had chances with the goalie pulled but a Blues player made a nice diving play to intercept the pass.

McDavid will have to wait another day to get his first NHL goal.

 

[p.l.f.]

Pens can't score

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

McDavid does not look happy.

wow i have to catch this on the PVR so i can see i live.
well
"live"

 

[Semantics]

McDavid does not look happy.

He's counting down the days until he can sign in Toronto.

 

[Cor]

Benn is going to have a monster year

 

[Cor]

Sorry I missed it, no chance they can coach it down you think?

I don't think you can.

Any team who tries to sit back and play defence will get destroyed.

You just need to go all out, and hope you get the bounce

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Pens can't score

Seriously. For all the talent they have on the roster an considering Dallas' defence they've been stymied tonight.

3-0 Stars. And that's the final score.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Kessel games 1 goals 0. Uh oh!

 

[garce]

I don't think you can.

Anythings better than a shootout.

 

[Semantics]

I got flamed by Pens fans this summer for saying they weren't a lock for the playoffs.

I don't know what JR was thinking with that defense. Imagine when Letang gets injured. And such bad forward depth too. Dallas last year was proof that three elite forwards isn't enough.
