OT: Around the NHL: That Bedard kid is okay at hockey

[bathroomSTAAL]

This is looking like maybe the worst game an NHL team has had in the cap era? Absolutely insane

Loved the announcer rubbing it in. “Mercifully, the 1st period comes to an end”.

 

[Tender Rip]

Tage! Damn, that guy is easy to root for.
But let’s hope he blows his wad entirely in this CBJ beat down.

It’s always cool when players “figure it out”.

Like Tage all of the sudden figured out that he can score against more team than just the Penguins.

Once again defaulting to my he talked to a sports psychologist and he told him to imagine the other team is wearing Penguins jerseys.

Tage Thompson is a really fun player to watch. The size and the skill reminds me of Mario.

Not saying he's anywhere near Mario obviously (not even close) but he's a really fun player who has figured it out and has a rare combination of skills.

Guy should have had a cooler name if he was gonna be the next Mario Lemieux

Good Buffalo is using up all their goals before they play Pitt

 

[Gurglesons]

It’s hilarious that Gaudreau signed with such a trash franchise.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Tried to watch PHI/WAS. Had to turn it off because OMG IT'S SOUL-DRAININGLY BORING.

 

[Pancakes]

Just remembered we play Buffalo twice in a row next. Hopefully Tage is using them all tonight

5 goals huh? slow down Tage, let Columbus join in.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Apparently, more than a half dozen teams are interested in Boeser. I've never been a big fan of him, but he can score goals.

Thing is he is super streaky. Scores in bunches and then does nothing for months. Like I'd be all for adding him but that cap is brutal.

 

[Tender Rip]

.... and those 5 goals/6 points, +4.... was in barely 10 minutes of ice time over those two periods! .

Jebus!

Idk, the Pens' game in Chicago at the start of the 2017-18 season comes to mind... Leafs v Preds... but 9-2 in just two periods is Real Bad.

Tried to watch PHI/WAS. Had to turn it off because OMG IT'S SOUL-DRAININGLY BORING.

And then a pair of Emptynetkins

He is currently 4th in scoring in the league. Third in goals. Huge. 24 years old. Good defensively too.

He figured things out last season and was on a tear for the second half of it. There is nothing wrong with that cap-hit. Nothing at all.

Boeser is 4th in scoring? Source?

 

[WickedWrister]

Tage with a casual 24.25 fantasy points tonight... but yeah his size/skill/shot is pretty unique

 

[Andy99]

It’s terrible that the Caps won tonight and the Rangers are winning…I hate when our Metro competition wins…bad night

 

[wheelz87]

TWO empty netters. It just annoys me.

 

[Turin]

It’s not terrible it’s normal.

 

[Gurglesons]

Knights look awful.



Classic

Dang. You're right. I misread the post in question. Makes a great deal more sense then @Better Call Maul .

 

[Turin]

McD sure never wastes a bad team

 

[Gurglesons]

Man Vegas must actually suck..
