OW! Looks like Talbot just yanked Callahan's arm out of the socket. Callahan to the dressing room. Ref also got something to the face so we're down a ref.

NHL 2013 regular season thread!

LOL went to band practice and I come home and Pens are down 0-4 to the Islanders. I don't want to live on this planet anymore!
Yeah, this is starting to look like a throwaway season. They just don't look like they're in sync yet. A lot of passes are just off the mark, guys going offsides, etc. Bryzgalov looked sharp again tonight, but the skaters couldn't get the puck into the net. Laviolette has been shuffling lines, but other than that Florida game, goals are just too hard to come by. Depressing...
Way to go Sens
Caps got screwed on that last power play; Joel Ward's high stick was on a follow-through and should not have been called a minor.
Still, Caps blew a 2-goal lead, so they failed to put it away when they had the opportunity.
Players are responsible for their stick at all times.
Looks like the Habs are getting a a taste tonight too.
Go Sens.

Responsible, yes, but not all contact up high with a stick is a minor penalty. See Rule 60.1:
60.1 High-sticking - A high stick is one which is carried above the height of the opponents shoulders. Players and goalkeepers must be in control and responsible for their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion. A wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal windup or follow through and any contact to an opponent above the height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly.
So, again, it was a bad call on Ward, and an unfortunate way for the Caps to give up the go-ahead goal. But it was the Caps' fault for taking their foot off the gas and letting the Sens back in.
Hey guys...just checking in to say college hockey has consumed all of my hockey time. The wife and I catch the home games for the Dartmouth mens team, and even a womens game too. Harvard isn't too far away, so we've been down to a couple of those games. UNH is a reasonable drive as is UVM, UMass, BC, and Boston U. We're looking forward to the Beanpot Tournament in a few days!
I got my eye on the NHL via TSN.CA, but I don't have the same passion for the NHL I used to. I hope Teemu Selanne has a great year, so I'll follow the Ducks. Oh, and I was deeply disappointed to see Holmstrom retired. That one surprised me as for when he did it. Maybe I'm out of touch with reality and everyone else saw that coming.

The Bruins have lost their first game. 
Some uncharacteristic breakdowns in the defensive zone but mostly an outstanding effort by the Sabers. Buffalo has added some grit to their lineup and they are not going to be at the bottom of the division for long. Add Buffalo and the Devils to teams that already look like they are in mid-season form.

Pretty good showing by the Pens last night against the Rangers. 2-0 against them this season, first time Pens have shutout the Rangers in MSG in like 18 years? Solid performance by Vokoun. Was also great to see good performances by our young guys Despres, Jeffrey and Bortuzzo. Despres had a fantastic play at the blue line to set Malkin up for the first goal, and beat Lundqvist on the backhand after coming out of the penalty box.
Sickening to see it traded away players get a cup and see our "new and improved" team start like this. Just sickening.
How about that non-call of Erskine elbowing Simmonds. Simmonds was bleeding all over the ice and never returned to the game. I haven't seen any reports, but it looked to me like the back of his head hit the ice fairly hard when he fell; so he might have a concussion (in addition to a possibly broken nose). And they didn't even get a power play.
That has to be at least a two game suspension. It's absurd that there was no penalty called on the play.
Yep and then you factor in the ghost hit to the head that didn't happen when a Red Wings player collapsed. That changed the momentum which the Blues had.
Ay, ay, ay...
Ay, ay, ay...
Just got back from the Pens game. Fantastic play, first home win, back to back division wins and we're 4-1 in the division 
As an Islanders fan, I resemble that remark.
They may not get into the playoffs, but I don't think they're gonna be pushovers anymore.
...finally.

Hope they do! Lots of good young talent and fun to watch. But Johnson will always be > DiPietro!
