NHL Season 2018-19

[Jeff K]

i should have waited a few hours...Hakstol is officially fired, replaced by Scott Gordon on the interim. No word of Quenneville's imminent arrival though. Yet.

The way the new Flyers G.M. talked before the game, it sounded like Scott Gordon will be given serious consideration. He even said Gordon has the rest of this year to audition. But I'm sure if somebody they really like (such as Quenneville) is available, they'd make that move.

5th goalie Anthony Stolarz is out 3-4 weeks with a "lower body injury". So ready or not, Carter Hart got called up to the bigs. 20 years old. He looked pretty good. Made several nice saves, but didn't have a whole lot of work. The Flyers played better than usual in front of him, so that helped. And the kid got the win in his debut.
3-2 victory over the Red Wings...

Waddaya know! Cats beat the Sabres. Amazing!

Nicely done Florida!

Murray gets the start tonight against Washington. It'll be interesting to see how he responds against one of the best offensive teams in the league. Ovechkin has been on fire lately.

Should be a good game. Caps are usually slow to wake up after a long layoff though.

It sure feels like we're getting to the end of the road with Sullivan in Pittsburgh. Subpar play on the ice and now he's mixing it up in the papers with a former player.

That's a friendly little get together they're having in D.C. tonight.

Helluva game whoever you like. They don't play again 'til March. Plenty of time to let bygones be bygones. Yeah, right!

Pettersson was a -1 in the game, but wow did he make a sweet save with about six minutes left. That saved the game, as did the post when Murray was beat glove side high (Vrana) earlier in the game and another shot that went through his legs (Kuznetsov). That could have been 4-2 Caps if not for the post and Pettersson.
Overall, that was a good game to watch tonight.

Love a game like that. Great play from both teams. Lotta fun to watch.

 

[FunkySpoo]

Didn't turn out the way I had hoped but it was a great game.

 

[GoLeafsGo]

Wow, sorry @GonePlaid, but if not for Bobby Lou, this could be 5 - 0 already...Matthews with 2 (so far...)

 

[GonePlaid]

Nicely done Florida!

Something tells me you're enjoying Florida's performance tonight. We were typing at the same time. LOL. Update: Crap!

 

[MJ5150]

Brian Rust has answered the call, and then some, for more secondary scoring. Two more points for the Pens.
Guentzel to Rust on both goals, seems like that benching from Sullivan helped Guentzel. That first goal was more a mistake from Dubnyk, but Guentzel out worked Pateryn and faked out the rest of the Wild players with that feed to Rust for goal #2.
Now if Sullivan will stop pairing Pettersson with Johnson, they'll be even better. Johnson is dead weight

Bergy is back and he scores the first B's goal against the Preds. He is skating with Marchand and Heinen. Krejci and Pastrnak are together on the 2nd line. So far, so good.

 

[dangnewt]

The 3rd period between the B's and Preds is going to be a barnburner. Score is 1-1 but the B's will be 5 on 3 for a minute plus. Laviolette called out his team in the 2nd for being soft, unfortunately while most of his team responded appropriately and started to play hard, a few started to play cheap.

 

[dangnewt]

And Bergy with the power play goal for a 2-1 lead, the 300th of his career.

 

[maxmaroon]

Didn't even realise the game was this afternoon...missed it, but great win and great to see Bergeron back.

 

[MJ5150]

Another game, two more points for the Pens. Five wins in the last six games.
Crosby, Rust, and Guentzel is a great line right now. It looks like maybe Sullivan has his touch back.
Secondary scoring continues to deliver, the defense is making plays, and Murray with the shutout.
Carolina came out strong, but the Pens defense tightened up and made Murray's night easier than it started out to be.

What is going on in Tampa? 9-0-1 in the last 10 and they are running away with the east.

We are kinda enjoying that down here. My daughter and I are afraid to go to another game and jinx the streak.

Go to a game, please. Let the rest of the east catch up.
