NHL season begins Jan 13 with new divisions

Pity that Boston and Washington are already meeting first round.

I hate Boston, but I REALLY hate Washington. And who’s the bigger asshole, Marchand or Wilson? Hmmm…who to root against? I’m seriously torn.

:laughing: Torn as well. The Great Conundrum.

Torn between two a-holes,
Feelin…

Betting the farm, {{{psychically}}}, that Ovi will pot a hat-trick tomorrow.

Wilson is definitely the bigger asshole and should really be expelled from the league at this point. That fight with the Rangers was inexcusable, and then he took off his jersey to give them more crap. That should have gotten him expelled from the game and, in my view, the first round. His history of causing injuries should get him banned permanently.

Nobody’s face is more punchable than Marchand, of course.

First, the Penguins get a power play after a Penguin hits himself in the face with the stick. Then, Wahlstrom gets slammed into the boards while getting a stick in the neck and face, and no call. This officiating is ridiculous.

And… The Oilers get swept by the Jets. Why am I not surprised? Folding in the playoffs is what they do.

Stunning, really. I don’t really follow the Western teams, but just how bad is the rest of the team? You’d think with McDavid and Dreiseitl the would be unstoppable.

I miss Flower. :frowning_face:

Well, that’s that. :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob:

I came in to gloat, but with all those crying emojis, I just can’t.

Tomorrow night is going to be great. A Toronto and Montreal playoff game game on Hockey Night in Canada for the first time in decades…

I have had the strangest luck with the goals scored in the games I watch. I either miss them entirely, or I’m glancing away from the screen at the exact moment they are scored. The Islanders-Penguins game from the other night is a good example. I tune in halfway through the second period with eight goals scored; not a one for the whole rest of the game.

Never watch sports without a DVR. Never. Heck you need it just to skip most of the commercials to be able to remember which teams are playing despite the interruptions.

Fans limited to 2,500. Over 100 of those are on StubHub, where the minimum price has dropped from $1700 to $1200 in the last 24 hours.

Eh, go ahead. I would’ve.

If Toronto doesn’t have a curse to explain their inability to function in the postseason, they need to invent one post-haste!

The Curse of Harold Ballard

It must be spring! The Leafs are out.

Those guys have an unfair level of talent, and they stole Tavares from the Isles, so good riddance.

On an unrelated note, the Isles have gained home ice advantage against the Bs!

It would be tragic if the Jets get all the way to the conference finals and we don’t get to see a single Winnipeg White-Out.

As dispiriting as this is for Leafs fans, calls to blow up the team are nuts. They haven’t been especially good for THAT long.
