Around the NHL: OMG HOCKEY Edition

[Blue Blooded]

Whoa

I mean, they'll be fine, but he was a good goalie for them.

I don't think they will. Their roster markedly worsened over the offseason. Losing their better goaltender puts them into an even more precarious situation.

I mean any team that gives significant minutes to Orpik and Scuderi is going to struggle, no matter how good their top centers are.

 

[aufheben]

Wasn't Urbom supposed to be the next, I don't know, something good?

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

all of those that wanted a tough guy... be prepared..

per Tim Wharnsby, Edmonton has placed Ben Eager on waivers.


maybe a Powe for Eager type deal could happen..... this has Sather all over it.. reclamation project... only 29 years old....

He scored against the Rangers when they played.

That guy has a screw loose and talk about bad penalties...

maybe the Rangers need that from time to time.... Canucks had players like Lapierre and Glass doing that so maybe Eager might be an option..


i can see a Powe for Eager type deal if AV feels he can use more size....

If he clears maybe.

I wouldn't mind Ben eager as a 13th forward.

 

[nyr2k2]

Not necessarily arguing that we should claim Ben Eager, but he's ****ing nuts and I love him. He's not completely worthless out there as a hockey player. Unless you're replacing Asham with him, though, there's no room.

This. I can't overstate his nutsness though.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

So the Red Wings complain for years and they start at 8:30 on opening night anyway...

RIGHT-O!!!

 

[Boruto]

Do ppl not converge here for games? do NYR posters head to the main board GTD?

 

[silverfish]

Before the Rangers drop the puck for their second game, the Maple Leafs will have played four times

 

[Boruto]

Flyers accouncer (the idiot): Colton Orr is also really good at dragging people down to the ice (after a commentary on Orr's fighting prowess.

 

[JohnC]

Damn good play by the Wings there

Definitely. It's funny though, because I also really liked what Buffalo's PP1 unit was doing. You've gotta believe that those deflections are going to go in every once in a while. Would like to see higher opportunity chances, but Howard made some great saves on that sequence.

 

[JohnC]

Oy vey Weiss

 

[Raspewtin]

Ristolainen is going to be an absolute stud.

 

[DudMan28]

Wow what a goal.

 

[JohnC]

Dat deflection

 

[silverfish]

Datsyuk is a ****ing magician. Holy ****. What an insane backhand.

 

[DudMan28]

Good lord.

 

[JohnC]

Aaaand dat backhand

 

[Raspewtin]

that backhand was disGUSTING.

 

[RangersFan]

watching this level of puck moving ability makes me so ****ing depressed as a rangers fan.

The main thing I've noticed with other teams is that they look to make a play before resorting to dumping it in. The Rangers were so trained under Torts to just dump it that they never even looked to make a pass or a move at the blue line. As the season progresses and we shift towards AV's system, we should see much better puck movement.
