Around the NHL: OMG HOCKEY Edition

[Clown Fiesta]

I know it's only preseason but WSH beating WPG and Mike Green scoring the shootout winner makes me a little annoyed.

 

[Kakko]

Jackets looking very good

 

[Jabroni]

Our good friends Gaby, Dubi and Arty are playing tonight. Blue Jackets vs Penguins.

good to see Arty score and Gaborik get an assist....

 

[NYR94]

Is the Columbus game streaming anywhere?

 

[Kakko]

Pens still can't defend

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

What a fight.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

What a fight.

i wish Rangers defense had some snarl to it... i want toughness through the team, not just one guy like McIlrath.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

What a fight.

How about the Pens' announcers calling out Wisniewski for wearing a visor but ignoring the fact that Vitale has one too

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Murray scores in overtime... 5-4... Jackets win

 

[The Gloaming]

Penguins turn it over and give up a goal.

Yep, nothing has changed.

 

[Jabroni]

Paul Ranger scored for Toronto.

 

[Fitzy]

You get the feeling the Jackets are going to give us fits in our matchups this season.

 

[hpNYR]

In case any of you were curious. It's torts interview he recently had, mentions the NY media blowing the shot blocking, defense game of his out of proportion. Says he doesn't stunt creativity b/c it's a God given talent. He mentions to Sedins in regards to that.

I could definitely see myself cursing their existence.

The Pens Jackets game was sloppy, but CBJ had flashes of brilliance. The first goal by Pitt, Bennet looked like a force. He could put up 50 points this year on that line. MAF looked like doo doo per the usual.

Florida's home pre-season opener. Who the hell schedules a pre-season game for a Monday at 2:30 and charges $20 to park? Really paints an unfair picture for the Panthers. Especially now that the pic is all over the web.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Yeah, it's easy to judge that picture without the context.

Still an awful decision by management.

I'd actually consider taking a day off from work to go watch the kids from the glass.

Apparently there is some logic behind it:

For everyone wondering why the #FlaPanthers & #Predators do a doubleheader: its for scouting purposes.

Its a cost-effective way for scouts to get extra evaluation time, whereas a lot of these kids would be headed back to juniors.

Was told by a #FlaPanthers scout, both Florida and Nashville like this setup, which is why this is the second time they've done it.

So for those mocking the crowd… the teams know a 2 p.m. game will be empty, but its better for the hockey ops guys. #Predators #FlaPanthers

Surprised it's not up yet: apparently Tim Thomas will be at Panthers camp on a PTO starting tomorrow.

EDIT: source is multiple reports on Twitter.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Torts has started his war against cell phones in Vancouver.

 

[NYR94]

Torts has started his war against cell phones in Vancouver.

First Twitter, now cell phones. The eternal struggle of Tortorella vs. technology.

 

[Ail]

The guy is an egomaniac and control freak. I would hate to be his player.

I can understand not wanting players to facebook/tweet locker room information, but that is generally agreed upon without saying.

 

[Thirty One]

lol. Turning your cell phone off at a press conference is just common courtesy. Torts is saving civilization.
