2014-15 NHL Preseason Thread

I'm thinking IPW's most evil GIF tops the list for me. I'm sure people know which one I'm referring to, but I'm afraid to type a description of it because I'm afraid Chris Hansen would come visit me after.

I think I know of the one you speak (Scott Hartnell has a cameo if I'm not mistaken)

Also, I gotta add that the broadcasting tandem of Rick Ball and Kelly Hrudey on Flames games is a massive upgrade over Rob Kerr and Charlie Simmer.

He's just mad the Leafs lost to you TWICE in one night.

I hope the Leafs lose twice a night every night. McDavid belongs at home.

I'm suddenly very excited for Christmas.

The story behind the Sens promotion is awesome in itself: When their arena was renamed the Canadian Tire Centre over the summer fans started joking that they should accept Canadian Tire money.

So they did.

The NHL team doesn’t expect to release a total of how much is taken in until after hosting Montreal next Friday. However, given that Canadian Tire money has been around since 1958 and there is more than $1 billion in circulation, they should receive more than their fair share.

That guy is in Columbus. His name is Kevin, he's a craft beer genius and a very funny guy. Me and a few coaches hung out with him at R-Bar last season.

The Jackets give him free tickets to be our "Dancing Homer" and the chick in the Pens jersey is a friend of his and she is the one who painted "She's Confused" on his back (according to someone else I know). Sorry, I don't know her name.

Looking at his gut, I never would have guessed he liked beer.

He hides it well, he's kind of a big dude in person.

Jackets and Blues underway. Quick goal by the Test Tube and the Jackets are up 1-0.

But that's not what's important here. What's important is FREDERIC ST DENIS IS PLAYING!

Now Jared Boll has scored. What? Am I taking crazy pills?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Lack was stellar in his half game tonight

Bonino with 2 good looking passes/assists ... Thats 2 more assists than kesler had in feb/mar/apr last season

Sam bennett has been turnstyling ryan stanton/kent huskins

The one holding the stick just scored to make it 3-1

I caught the first two periods on the ferry coming over to the island, Lack was sensational between the pipes. And I know it's only one exhibition game, but man oh man, Sam Bennett looks awesome.

I saw Ryan Kesler pass the puck to a Ducks teammate earlier this evening - during an NHL game. Ok, it was only a preseason game, but it still counts for something, right?

Now Jared Boll has scored. What? Am I taking crazy pills?

In my admittedly limited watching so far this pre-season...Blake Comeau has looked really good. I'm afraid I've taken similar pills.

I will gladly trade you Jared for Blake.

Yes, I dislike Jared Boll that much.



Another Jackets win. Good to see they can focus amongst the turmoil back in Columbus. Two helpers for Simon Hjalmarsson. That's good to see.

The Sabres may not win many games this year, but at least the games against the Leafs will be interesting.


Here are a few things I took away from this game:

- Both goalies should feel shame, but Neuvirth was flat out terrible. I think at one point he allowed 5 goals on 11 shots.

- Clarkson shouldn't play against the Sabres in preseason. Got a suspension last year, and this year he left the game after taking a few shots to the face from McCormick.

- I hope Tallinder is ok.

- I found it funny that an article came out today saying how Nolan doesn't like fighting, but the game tonight was full of them.

- Dion is still a POS.

- Sabres managed to score more than 1 or 2 goals in a game.

- Chris Stewart played well enough to most likely get traded.


Can't wait to see if anything more goes down on Sunday back in Toronto.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Damn, that sucks for him. This will most likely cost him a spot on the roster now.
