It's painfully obvious what NHL fans are in for this season; Terrible pace, horrible and inconsistent Penalty calls, tons of Challenge/Review problems and the constant adjustments made to all the rules/crackdowns.
Jack Edwadrds is going to have a field day.

I know these games don't mean anything, but geez 0-4? And the scores I've seen haven't even been close.

I question their direction. Hire Claude, but have Galchenyuk and Drouin as your #1 and #2 C? Not Smart
Montreal media getting very nervous

And now TSN reports that up to eight teams have called Avs GM Joe Sakic about making a trade. According to TSN, the teams are believed to include Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Nashville and Columbus.
Sakic apparently wants plenty for Duchene. New York’s Newsday reported that the Avs turned down an Islanders offer of defenseman Travis Hamonic, a first-round pick and a top prospect.

Jsut had to chime in. Drouin is playing as 1C. Galchenyuk is playing as 2LW, a position he's never looked great in. He's more productive at C but since CJ wants 2 way C's he should be playing RW.
And many Habs fans have been questioning the teams direction.

Horrible decision by Sakic if true. In my opinion, Duchene's value right now should be a bit more than Lucic's at the time he was traded, but as time goes on, Duchene's value is probably taking a hit.
From an outsider's perspective, Bergevin has been the problem in Montreal for quite a while. He is responsible for the poor roster building, drafting, and trades in Montreal. He dealt his team's best prospect in Sergachev for a winger that has played maybe around a dozen, could be wrong on that number feel free to correct me, games at center in the NHL, and his team's season is dependent on if Drouin can become a two-way #1C because that is what Claude expects out of his centers. He made that trade instead of trading for a #1C like Duchene. Claude basically ruined Galchenyuk's value last season, like he did Spooner's here in Boston, by playing him at wing, not trusting him at center, and at times demoting him.
In my opinion, it doesn't seem like Claude and Bergevin are on the same page, at least Bergevin's moves for the most part do not reflect that. I wouldn't be surprised if Plekanec and Danault are your team's #1C and #2C at some point in the season. Montreal's teams have been overachieving with their roster for quite a while. I wouldn't be surprised if that's not the case this season.
Interesting to see an old familiar face Michael Hutchinson on waivers...looking at his stats he's had a couple rough seasons but did have that one really good year.
Not sure he is much of an improvement from Anton at this point.
But wasnt expecting to see him on waivers...guess I havent paid much attention to him though.

I watched a Kings/Ducks game a couple of nights ago in which there were no replay cameras. This may sound crazy, but my whole mindset watching was improved, knowing I didn't have to temper enthusiasm if a goal was scored, and also knowing every bit of minutia wouldn't be reviewed. I know, the new rule should help that.
But still, I enjoyed watching more just knowing there were no replays.

Watching the Pitts/Blues game at the hockeyville winner, I love the low camera. Feels more live and flowing. More in the action.

Pretty intense game for preseason.
Crosby with a late hit on AP, who took exception and tried to drop the gloves with Sid (who wisely didn't oblige).

Ohhhh my. Claude may just quit in preseason on his own. 
I know, it's just preseason. But it's still fun!

Many "top" or "best off" lists are based on opinions rather than set criteria. This one looks at the top centres in the league using measures and rankings related to the last 3 seasons to arrive at its top 23. The Bruins were one of just a few teams to have 2 players make the list. No one will likely be surprised that Bergeron is on the list but some surely will be when seeing Krejci's name appear. Article from SN.
UPDATE: apologies - having difficulty with attaching the article. Still trying to figure it out.

Piece on Kariya, very well done piece, a bit sad for this fan who always appreciated his game and respect him for using his post career time to do the things he views as most important

I’m not sure if CBJ would consider trading him, but it’s not a good sign if they are only $150k apart and can’t get it done. If they would consider it, Sweeney should be all over that.

f***ing repugnant. This is f***ing repugnant. This shit makes me hate sports and feel like a bad person for supporting the league.
