[Cmox]

Aho moonlights as Mark Hoppus

 

[Mandar]

The Leaning Tower of Rempe

 

[NYR94]

Gustafsson doesn’t waste much time with the puck does he

in a whole different league as a puck mover than guys they had at 3rd LD last year like Harpur, Mikkola etc.

Kreider got married and @Machinehead didn’t invite any of us?

 

[Breaded Fox]

JC Butch. Zip it

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Liking Gus more than Miller so far.

Miller has looked pretty dominate this game?

i don't know what the scene is these days, but historically the ahl is where you really saw murderers row as a young guy who liked to throw hands. nhl has always had some heavyweights no doubt, but the ahl always had some absolute mutants - plus the volume of fights was way higher. maybe it's dialed back but a few years ago every team had at least one guy who wanted to throw practically every night. they were sickos

It's still more active than the NHL, but it's not the warzone it used to be. Rempe will definitely be fighting some tough dudes this year.

There was a time where I'm not sure some teams even had regular players. Haha. But as the NHL has gotten less goonish and more skilled, so have the feeder leagues. While the fighting is exciting, the AHL now offers some really great hockey to watch. They are good which is why it's more important than ever to invest in good depth.

 

[Raspewtin]

god even Sam and Joe buy that horseshit about Lindgren steadying Fox

 

[EdJovanovski]

What did us fantasy drafters miss?
How's Wheeler look? he scored?

 

[Profet]

Kreider got married and @Machinehead didn’t invite any of us?

I wonder if Brendan Smith passed his physical.

It’s not the same in the A as far as volume but there’s still heavyweights on most teams. As far as the fight tonight, Rempe did more than holding his own. He initiated the fight after Johnston went after Trocheck. He also landed the best shot of the fight to Johnston’s face and a bunch of body shots.

definitely did well tonight. feel like there's a ton more body shots in nhl fights these days than ever before. feel like you could draw a direct correlation to the rise in popularity of the ufc.

Looks like a veteran, not fighting for a spot, in his first preseason game.
Interpret as you wish.

Scored on a great spin pass by Jake from Statefarm

I heard he lost 175 lbs. this off-season. Came to camp in the best shape of his career.

Or the helmet visor requirements.

Punching a helmet visor hurts.

Give Kreider an assist on that goal

 

[CLW]

Weak defending oh well

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

That MSG commercial with the guy talking about him thinking about the Rangers while his wife was birthing their kid is the most cringe thing I’ve seen in a while

 

[Raspewtin]

Brodzinski annoys me

 

[TominNC]

Shesterkin was blinking. Must be a concussion

 

[effen]

The team was made fun of for drafting Rempe but that kid just works his tail off and continues to get better. His specific role is actually difficult to fill in todays NHL. I’m intrigued

It's because people don't know what they're talking about.

He’s communicating with a cat across the arena

[duhmetreE]

Garand looks small

 

[effen]

That man always has blinked like that I swear. Lol.

It's a focusing technique.
