I loaded up on Spezza, Benn, Seguin and Goligoski in almost every pool I'm in this year or at least some combo. That may end up paying me a lot of money by the end of the year

Can't believe these habs are going to win another game.
They are so lucky calgary has no finish...

Typical Montreal.

LOL it's just unbelievable... 38-19 shots for Calgary and not meaningless shots we see on the Sens from all angles... so many point blank chances. I swear Habs give about 20 quality scoring chances per game. I watched the 2nd and 3rd, I remember maybe 2 or 3 shifts were they spent a bit of time in the Flames zone...

8 wins. 2 Loss. Differential -2

Sens have a good start to the season but they play "survival hockey" like the Habs a bit and it's not super entertaining. But the difference is that the Sens have a very inexperienced team so it's more understandable when they get on their heels... The line-up in Ottawa also cost a lot less money than in Montreal... Mediocre team with an Elite goalie.

They need to take away the tanking incentive. Make every team that misses the playoffs have an equal chance, or even every team that doesn't make the final 4 or 8 or something

The current system is not necessary because we have revenue sharing and a cap floor, teams have no excuse not to have enough NHL talent. What the Sabres are doing this year is an embarrassment, and they have zero incentive to try and turn things around and everyone knows it.

Have they won an away game yet?

Maybe they can beat our records of worst away record: 1-41-0, 38 straight away losses record and longest winless streak of 17....

Carolina may be able to best these "records" as well...

Nice gesture by the Predators organization.

Well, they already made the percentage of winning the lottery lower (last place went from having a 25% chance of winning to a 20% chance), and starting in 2016, they are going to have a lottery for the top 3 picks, not just the #1 overall.

In theory, the last place team could end up with the 4th overall pick.

It's not a 100% great solution, but it is something.

Jebus....exactly how many different premium channel do they expect us to order to get hockey on TV. Centre Ice isn't enough. Adding Sportsnet One isn't enough. Now they put a few games exclusively on Sportsnet 360.

And no, I am not adding one more freaking channel or package or whatever to my bill. Center Ice is expensive enough. :rant:

What? No, Nothing happened.

It is just a fight against cancer thing.

Sens will be hosting a promotional night tomorrow for the fight against cancer.

They will be wearing this during warmup:

So apparently this happened.
The goal got waived off, and Detroit got a penalty...
