NHL Season 2018-19

Kind of funny reading through this thread. Most forums are nothing but people boasting and bragging about their team with obnoxious bravado, but here on TB it seems most of us are humbly bemoaning how bad our teams are! Bass players are just realists, I guess. :rolleyes:

Except for those less-than-humble Leaf fans. :whistle: But hey, y'all deserve to be excited after many years of mediocrity. Heck, I'm even considering a jump onto the Matthews/Tavares bandwagon!

Sens have a very good season start with everything in perspective , their D is young , inexperienced but they do score goals!

I was the first to think leaving their bandwagon when they exchanged Karlsson but now , seeing Lajoie & Chabot , we might have something in a couple of years.

Exactly why I choose to only discuss hockey right here with youn'z.
I did notice recently that ESPN.com no longer shows comments after stories. That's a relief since those sections just turned into bickering and spam.

As for Toronto, I think it's good for the NHL when they are winning. I'd like to see Calgary be good too.

Speaking of good, I hope someone signs Jagr.

I agree with everything except the last. I double agree(is that possible?)with signing Jagr.:thumbsup:

Chabot has really impressed me this year, he has stepped it up a couple of notches. He is not Karlson, yet at least, but lot's of talent there.

Very cool! Nice looking bass! Cool shirt too!
Kind of our band's 'signature' look-aloha shirts(non-matching) IMG_3037.JPG 1 guy out of frame.
 
Panthers and Flyers had an interesting get-together tonight. With Luongo and Reimer out, they brought up Hutchinson(?)from the AHL. Helluva game. Flyers in a shootout:(. Hey, I was born in Miami. What can I say?
Yeah, I watched it. Flyers blew a 5-2 lead, but were able to get the 2 points via shootout. Simmonds has 5 goals this year. I guess last year's slide really WAS due to nagging injuries. He and Giroux each scored two tonight. Konecny is still snake-bit this season. He's had a ton of chances this season, but hasn't been able to bury one. You can tell he's getting frustrated.

Yeah, and getting 'beaned' on the bench. That's gotta suck.
