Around the NHL: HOCKEY’S BACK BABY

[SECRET SQUIRREL]

Did I just hear him say a Kings over Canadians Stanley cup prediction?

They said that because of Barry Melrose. He was drafted by Montreal and was head coach in LA.

Had the games on next to me at work. That headshot on Tanev looked nasty. Don’t think it was intentional but he went down hard.

Vegas coming out of the gates strong so far.

 

[Matt Ress]

It's one game, remember when Comrie shut the doors against Calgary?

Also the voodoo analogy is getting cringe. I've been hearing the same thing repeated on HFSabres since I joined in 2013.

Goalies are Santeria???

I just saw Armia was waived by Montreal. He carved himself out a nice career as a top-9 winger. I had high hopes for him. He oozed potential when I watched him in Rochester. Not at the level of Quinn or Peterka, but he showed flashes of slick hands and a strong wrist shot. It's good to see he had a pretty long career in the NHL relying on his strong two-way game.

The way Blackhawks fans are overanalyzing Bedard's first point, a secondary assist on a basic cycle play, is why I'm glad we won't be picking at the top of the draft hopefully for next 10 years. Good Lord.

He makes $4.8M this season.

He's 30 years old. He needs to decide if he wants to just collect a paycheck or work his way back to the NHL.

Hate the Bruins but this video is awesome

Great for Lindy - very well deserved.

Great for Lindy - very well deserved.

He may be the first man to get a multi-year extension less than one year from the point when fans were chanting in unison for him to be fired at games. What a year he's had.

...I guess we can call it a "reverse Boudreau"

Happy for Lindy

Howden hit on Tanev (just past the 1 minute mark)

call reviewed and called a match penalty

Phone call hearing today for Howden

If the Sabres can't win the cup I will root for the Devils just because I want to see Lindy win it. Glad to see he's been so successful over there.

 

[oldgoalie]

great news for Lindy!
f*** the league for the Pride bullshit.

Diiiiirty. Reminds me of old gummer Neal on Drury back to set off the "run 'em" moment.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Wouldn't touch Armia's contract, he's not worth that.

 

[HOOats]

Man, Scotiabank is dead quiet during their player intros. All the suits in the lower bowl must be acting as baffles.

Sens just manhandled the Canes on 1st shift.

Pp Sens

1 -0 Sens

I thought Sanderson was supposed to be good on the PK he's in no man's land while Bunting was on an island for an easy 1 on 1 against the goalie for NHL 94 goal where he skates post to post.

 

[DapperCam]

Max Domi with a nice dive, and the Leafs are rewarded with a power play goal.
