That was better, they must have got their watches fixed. Was funny to see the backup goalie, Bishop. He plays for University of Toronto, but because of cap issues, Leafs could not get their AHL goalie to replace Mrazek called up until today. He signed a one day amateur's tryout contract, and had the best seat in the house to watch the game.
Yeah, but Fleury's d-men were as much to blame on most of the four he let in.
Danton Heinen...had heard of him before but couldn't tell you a thing about him. Now he's on pace to score 82 goals this season!

The blackhawks defense is terrible. Fleury is going to be facing a lot of high quality shots this year.
Yeah, the goalie is s'posed to be the best defender-not the only.
Got my first look at the Kraken tonight versus the Flyers. The Flyers put it to them tonight (6-1). Good to see the Flyers put a good game together. The Kraken had the better of the play in the first 8 or 9 minutes, but after that it was all Flyers. Hart had a good night in goal, which he desperately needed to build back some confidence.
Even though they were wearing their away white jerseys, I thought the Kraken had some pretty decent looking uniforms.

@Jeff K yeah I kinda like the Kraken uniforms from what I've seen. They play Jersey tomorrow so I will get a good look. All these years and I still am not used to home teams wearing dark colors now haha
I'm with you, Paul. To me it was much more interesting to see all the various colors of the visiting teams. To this day I think it was a big mistake to change it. But then again, I AM a dinosaur! I still wish they'd go back to 1 versus 16, 2 vs. 15, etc. for the playoffs. Divisions and Conferences be damned! We see enough of those teams during the regular season.
Stop whining! Your Pens are on fire...
I like the 1 vs. 16 concept as well, but it can only work if there is a balanced schedule in place. As well as increasing travel and associated costs, it would not work with 31 teams....but now....maybe!I'm with you, Paul.

Completely agree with the jersey change...been 18 years (2003) and I'm still not used to it. Seeing Montreal, Toronto, Chicago...any of the original six in their classic dark jerseys was memorable. I still vividly remember seeing the late 70s Canadiens play in Pittsburgh...Lafleur, Lapointe, Savard, Cournoyer...such a mystique about those unis.I'm with you, Paul.

And 1000% agree with seeing the same teams way too often! Sometime it seems like the Pens play the Islanders 20 times per season!
Same here when they'd play the Flyers. What a team Montreal had! And yes, those jerseys were iconic.
On Feb. 14, 2007 a sold out crowd attended a game at the Igloo to watch the Penguins defeat the Blackhawks. That started a streak of 633 consecutive sellouts of home games.
Interestingly, that streak came to an end against the Blackhawks as well this past Saturday night, October 16, 2021. The next game on Tuesday, the 19th against Dallas, was not a sellout and the streak came to an end.
Impressive run for the Pens, but the sellout streak falls victim to the pandemic and maybe other factors.

That is interesting...wasn't aware of the streak. When I first got into the sport in the mid-70s, the Pens were a decent team for a year or two, then hit rock-bottom for a few years. From the late 70s through the mid 80s, they couldn't even give away tickets. The only positive of being so bad was that it allowed them to draft a skinny kid name Lemieux...
With Kucherov out long-term, I was thinking the Bolts might be a fit, but then realized there aren't enough pucks for both Stamkos and Kessel to shoot all game long.
Kessel is only getting paid $1M this season but counts around $7.5M against the cap.
Just thinking out loud here...Coyotes ship Kessel, etc, to Buffalo for Eichel (they have the cap room), let him get the surgery he wants. When Eichel is healthy again, they deal him for a few picks/prospects and players. Everybody wins in that scenario.
