^ Eberle is awesome, definitely one of my favourite non-Jets players in the league

Canucks have a habit of letting in late period goals.

Kassian on the top line with the Sedin twins is a good move. A lot of people will think twice before trying to purse-snatch from #33/#22.

It's kinda crazy how fans responded after the lockout across all fan bases. Almost all home openers have been sellouts. The Columbus Blue Jackets stadium is sold out... Like what? Ratings and sales have been crazy..
That's a welcomed sighting regardless of all the bitterness and people wanting to send the NHL a msg by boycotting the league.

It also shows the owners and PA that they can treat their fanbase like garbage and have no repercussions.

For those of you considering GCL:
Overall, it's a solid service for two types of people: i) hockey-obsessed fans who want the ability to watch every game and ii) out of market fans.
Pros:
- Number of games: You have access to every out-of-market NHL game in HD.
- Interfunctionality: GCL connects to your computer, phone, tablet, XBOX, PS3 and Roku. The PS3 application, which I had last year, also gave me access to NHL Vault games and every game from the last 3 season. This was especially awesome because I didn't have cable last year so I could watch games on my LED.
Cons:
- Delays: Games are slightly delayed (about 5-10 seconds)
- Glitches: GCL went down about 3 times last season, and I had no access to games. Tech support is useless.
- Commercial breaks: This is a small, but annoying feature. During commercial breaks, they play this awful, continuous guitar riff with visuals of NHL Store sales. I noticed that for home broadcasts they sometimes aired commercials from the actual broadcast, which was a welcome respite.

* Jaromir Jagr had a bombastic debut for the Dallas Stars, scoring two goals and adding two more assists in his team's 4-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. Jagr, who was absolutely spectacular in the game, apologized after the game for not being at his best while still dealing with jet lag.
* Teemu Selanne was just as good for the Anaheim Ducks, adding two goals and two assists of his own in the 7-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Selanne and Jagr, both over 40 years old and two of the few players remaining from the lockout-shortened 48-game season, now lead the NHL in scoring.
Teemu got a nice jump on getting that PPG one more time.

Boyle is as tough as a sack of flour. He makes Daniel/Henrik Sedin look like the Hanson Brothers. He absolutely disgusts me.

True, I'm probably just over reacting, but still...
The Hanson bros, though?

Tell me about it, you'd think the Flyers were 0-20 on the season right now down here in Philly
Everyone blaming Bryz when he's been pretty good and the reason Buffalo didn't win 10-2 on Sunday

I love hearing the overreactions from fans after two games with a limited camp and a tight schedule
Can't even lie, I think Al has rubbed off on me the past few years.

Can't wait for the Flyers/Devils tonight!
On a side note does anyone know a good place to get a jersey stitched?
Found this gem at Marshall's for $14.99 but Jagr's gotta come off lol
