NHL Season 2019-20

[dangnewt]

No hockey tonight 'cept 'look-ins' on NHL Network.

The B's game was interesting - plenty of good clips.

Another odd game for the B's. They started strong which they don't always do, but couldn't score (including one shot that got through the goalie and died on the ice 4 inches from the goal line for a good 3 seconds before it was cleared.) Then Chicago scored a shortie and a PP at the end of the first. Chicago scored early on the 2nd to go up 3-0. The B's climb back in (including a shortie) to tie it late. Chicago won in OT - they deserved the 2 points and the B's remain undefeated in regulation at home. I'll admit to being pretty discouraged at the end of the second and again when Chicago scored to open the 2nd, but this team figures out a way.

They've played like they are mad they lost the Cup last spring...

Your team is basically lapping the league and you were getting discouraged? Try being a Leaf's fan, we'll teach you how to be discouraged! LOL

Scratching someone who is good a hockey (Lindblom) for someone who is bad at hockey (Lethera) is gift wrapping a reason for the GM to fire you.

He may have been sending a message to the GM that made that terrible trade. Heck, even I, an avowed Flyers hater, felt bad for you fans when that one went down. Shenn has been instrumental in the Blues success and has his name on the Cup...Lehtera, well he's now in the KHL. (Although you got Morgan Frost with one of those picks).

Nice way of relating that to another sport

We got us a goalie controversy in Pittsburgh. Jarry with back to back shutouts.
Please Rutherford, this is your chance to cut and run from Murray. He's a sham, always has been, and it's time he stops getting over on the Pens and the fans.
Problem is, everyone now knows how bad he is. Trade value is likely minimal.

Trade value might not be the problem in getting rid of him, his contract will be an issue. Most teams looking for a solid backup (which is what I see him as ) are up against cap issues, and can't justify spending starting money on a backup.

Just play San Jose, Thornton will punch one of those dudes out for you

Great point.
He fooled the Pens and got the big contract when the sold Fleury down the river. Murray needs to make the list of greatest sports scams in history.
For the first time in awhile, I'm excited as a Pens fan. We'll see if Rutherford really is this awesome GM people go on and on about.
Next up, Jack Johnson.

OK, we'll go with that.

 

[Camaro69]

Well Colorado hands Boston their first loss at home this year, 30 games in, ending the Bruins 5 game win streak

Colorado is 3/3 on the road trip

 

[MJ5150]

Murray gives up three, including a glove side high, but Malkin made sure the Pens didn't lose.

The Sharks got struck by Lightning and Bob ticked off Torts. All in all a good hockey night in FL. 'Course I didn't get to see any of it-gig tonight.

Someone got their Christmas PJ's early.

 

[Inky13]

Got to see alot of the game at a gig tonight. Unfortunately, a shorty and an OT penalty spelled doom.

The TV visible from my place on the stage had(ugh!) Fox news. Not even feetsball. I don't think anyone at the VFW knows a puck from Shinola.

 

[dwm74]

The 'yotes are not going away. After never having a lead the entire game against the Black Hawks, they kept chipping back and eventually prevailed in the shootout, 4-3. I love their 'never-give-up' attitude. Don't look now, but they're tied for first in the Pacific with Edmonton! Who'd a ever thunk it?

 

[Camaro69]

I don't like the trade rumors of Hall coming to Colorado
