The Out of Town Thread part XLVII All talk from around the league here

[sharks9]

Damn Bruins are gonna win again. Hopefully Tampa can come back and beat Ottawa! Looks like Buffalo is gonna lose as well which is nice.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Now PIT has blown a 2-0 lead. Jets lead.

Sabres fans irate over Grigorenko not being used (only 6 minutes tonight). Clearly going back to Quebec, where Corey Pronman can continue to worship him.

 

[Kimota]

3-2 Jets! What a comeback.

It was supposed to be the Crosby show.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Vokoun with an awesome save. Got him in the pool so he better be good.

 

[sharks9]

Devils win! They stay undefeated and the Caps stay winless.

 

[Olden McGroin]

Hamilton is a poor man's Fowler.

I think he'll be better than that; Fowler is a minus 53 over 2 seasons.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

3-2 Jets! What a comeback.

It was supposed to be the Crosby show.

Crosby and Vokoun are the only Pens that showed up tonight

 

[sheed36]

Damn.. Larry Murphy certainly doesn't have much room between the benches at the JLA.

Justice League of America?

5-4 Tampa. Pond hockey tonight.

 

[JMMR]

5-4 Tampa
Ryan Malone
Montreals favourite.

 

[JMMR]

Devils win! They stay undefeated and the Caps stay winless.

Glad I drafted Marty in like the 8th round of my hockey pool.
Everyone said the Devils would suck hahaha.

Brodeur and Price are my goalies. Unfortunately they only count wins and shutouts for goalies or I would be tearing it up.

 

[Overtime Period]

nice dild** for the ducks season opening hahahaha

 

[Et le But]

4-2 'peg.

The Pens defense is Flyers bad.

 

[Overtime Period]

damn sedin sisters

They have a shallow team for a 'contender' I find, seeing a 3rd line type like Dupuis on Crosby's line constantly is a crime against hockey. Then you have an open spot on the Malkin-Neal line that they can't fill. Paul Martin not living up to the expectations has really hurt their D.

Kind of puzzled by Shero's 2012 off-season, he went all in for Parise by dumping Michalek and Staal's money...and did absolutely nothing else once he lost out.

I still can't believe a team with only one above average winger drafted Derrick Pouliot over Forsberg.

Is that what that was? I wondered why they gave away Michalek, got nothing of value in return for him, and then simply didn't replace him. Unless he was worse there than I thought.

For sure. They are 9 M under the cap as of today, they had to dump Michalek's 4 M cap hit to make a run at Parise.

The other thought was that they had young D's they felt could replace Michalek, such as Despres.

 

[Kimota]

Jake Gardiner sent down. Leafs Nation' Hearts crushed.

No futur superstar D for you!

To be fair, I think there's some speculation he isn't fully recovered from his concussion. I'm a big Gardiner fan myself.

 

[overlords]

Wouldn't they just put him on IR then so the team doctors could keep an eye on him? Doesn't seem to make much sense.

Also it's about conditioning.

Still, it's fun to see them go nuts a little.

 

[Richiebottles]

Surprised that Gardiner was sent down after being in TO for the entire year last year.
