Thanks Oilers. What an awful awful team. And Dubnyk....I protected you not that long ago....welcome to my ignore list.

 

[sharks9]

Not impressed with the Leafs, I think they win the prize of the biggest bubble team in recent memory.

Me neither, they'll crash back to Earth soon enough.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

Leafs are a good team with ton of offensive depth and a D that is holding it's own. With Bernier, I think they might have a great year. They're just a tough team to play against, and before they used to grind games out, now they can score too.

Their underlying numbers are hideous, Down Goes Brown had a recent feature on it: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9799967/toronto-maple-leafs-advanced-stats

They have some nice pieces, especially their fast forwards who have been insanely efficient on the counter, but their luck last year was absurd and I will be shocked if they can ride percentages like this forever.

i posted 30 mins ago that he wasn't a NHL caliber goaltender.. look at his size.. he should be able to stop most of theses shots.. Alex Auld biggest 5 hole ever.. move away.. i think Dubnyk just took it away from you!

Weren't you there a couple months ago when Kadri was being compared to god?

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

I'm already mad and we haven't even played yet

Oh man, me too. Not only I'm mad but I have a bad feeling for the game. Luongo will drive me crazy tonight.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

He's a good player, yes?

 

[Et le But]

He's a good player, yes?

He is a big part of their success, but he's not the PPG guy he was last year when he was shooting something absurd like 20%.

It is early in the season, and they have a large part of the team coming back from injuries. I actually think when healthy and back playing better they will have a **** TON of talent on display.

 

[sharks9]

Hertl scores a minute in for his 7th of the season. That's ridiculous!

Speaking about Alex Auld. Dubnyk really is starting to remind me of Alex Auld. Two big goalies who don't know how to use their size

 

[Team_Spirit]

Hertl scores a minute in for his 7th of the season. That's ridiculous!

Sens lead 2-1

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

He is a big part of their success, but he's not the PPG guy he was last year when he was shooting something absurd like 20%.

He has 6 PTS in 6 GP again this year. One of 5 Leaf forwards tied for 11th or higher in scoring. Raymond will surely fall off but the other 4, if they stay healthy, can easily all finish top 20 - 30.

 

[Team_Spirit]

So yeah, Crosby. Hat trick, 4 points, no big deal.

word. sochi baby

 

[sharks9]

Sens lead 2-1

Down 3-2 now! I'm completely fine with West being better than East as long as it helps us out.

Sharks rocks.

Burns is awesome if offer our next 2 1st picks.

He is PPG and shooting 20% exactly

 

[De Montreal]

Really like that Colorado team... good mixture of young gun and veterans... plus so many Quebeckers Parenteau, Giguère, Stastny (born in Qc), Tanguay, Bordeleau, Roy, Benoit, Cliche, Allaire...

Nope, Ontario boy.

 

[Whitesnake]

So Hertl was injured last night? Concussion? That sucks for the kid.

Their GM pulled off a few brilliant moves to pull them from the basement... Bollan being one of them.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

So yeah, Crosby. Hat trick, 4 points, no big deal.

Welcome to HF !!! Hate Sid and love Ovy

I don't even want to debate anymore, year after year and it's been for years Crosby keeps proving he is the best despite playing with average players ( dupuis and Kunitz )

 

[Roulin]

He is PPG and shooting 20% exactly

Kovalchuk was an exceptionally high % shooter, an outlier, shooting 14% over his career. The reasonable bet is that Kadri is no Kovalchuk over a large sample size, let alone 20%. It won't last.
