OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

Dear Physicx,

 take that

also need to see that disrespect for Smyth at the end of the game lol. Dude was like thrown to the glass 

 

[ziostilon]

Here's a Maxim Afinogenov vs Jiri Novotny fight

But wait till they zoom in on Max's wife, Elena Dementieva.  damn, females in Russia

They were talking about it on CBC, that Max Pacioretty married Afinogenov's sister. Katia Afinogenov

wonder how they met

 

[doublejs07]

Caps are 5-0

Not even concerned w. Ovechkin's lack of production so far. Other Caps fans were bristling at the fact Joel ward got 4/12, but the man does EVERYTHING right on the ice. Money well spent, IMO.

Got a REAL test tomorrow night in Philly. Should be a good game and we'll see how they fare against an elite team.

*This kid Marcus Johansson is going to be special...no reason for him not to be a 50+ point scorer this year.

**Erik Gudbranson = BEAST....pay attention to this kid. I swear he plays the game like a young Chris Pronger. Got a real mean/nasty streak...

  So much for my dreams of Nail playing in DC

Saw the replay of the game, and that was great for me, just because of what he said about Kings fans.  

 
Still got love for Smyth though. 

 

[dmxfury]

Pens are freakin beat up right now, keep on grindin though


I'd like to watch that Caps/Philly game, should be good

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Watching clips of Nail Yakupov, people calling him the next Ovechkin, we have been feinding for a star in Ottawa for a while now. I'm in full on tank mode.

 

[Bad Religion]

Luongo getting the Bronx cheer in the 3rd period. 

Slow start, but October's have been awful for Vancouver the last 10 years.

 

[philballa09]

can't wait either

 should be a great game 
Schenn called up

. I think the Flyers are one of fastest, if not the fastest, team in the NHL. speed everywhere.

 

[jewseejay]

/\ Montreal is also loadeddd with speed... Flyers are jus a much more well rounded squad than the Candiens and most teams for that matter, i like their chances to play for a cup in the next 2 years

cosign

 

[frenchblue23]

I've been to a couple of home openers in my time, but nothing like last night....  It's obvious that there's higher expectation this season.  
Took a couple of pics. 

 

[venom lyrix]

I had money on the Kings game last night, and watched the game thanks to NHL season pass being free for a few weeks, and they looked great. Scored at will, 5-0 and Quick was blocking everything

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

Henrik Lundqvist

... best goalie in the world, no doubt about it.

 

[physicx]

^absolutely agree

no offense (plus i for one shouldnt be talking) but rangers would be

without him

edit - nice pics French. home openers are

very true... they would have been a lottery team the past few years if it wasn't for him.

 

[jewseejay]

QFE... King Lundquist is head and shoulders above all the resta the goalies in the world, then u have the Rinne, Miller, Prices

 

[kash55]

Man another classic October being put up by Vancouver.

Needs to be said that all of them played terrible, but you need some big saves from your goalie to keep you in the game. Also, Lundqvist going into god mode didn't help.

 

[bjm5295]

bet on Toronto +1.5 while they were down 3-1 with about 15 to go and they went out and scored 2 within a few minutes and eventually won.

[hawkflight6]

^ No it doesn't

we completely blew it

 

[frenchblue23]

Thanks Physicx.

Freakin' Toronto with that comeback.

Caps/Flyers game should be interesting tonight, gonna be flipping channels in between the Kings/Coyotes game.

 

[bjm5295]

yeah, jets collapsed. i made the bet thinking Toronto would score one because they've been so hot, and lose 3-2.

 

[DeadsetAce]

some mixing up of the lines tonight is the early word:

barring a krejci return:

lucic-kelly-seguin
marchand-bergeron-horton
pouliot-pevs-caron
4th line stays the same

interested to see if claude rolls with this set up
