Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[puckhead]

Canucks are the highest scoring team in the league ???

maybe the Sedins were holding them back?

this game is ridiculous.
with Petey held in check, no Boeser or Baertschi.
You can't stop Ericksson, you can only hope to contain him

Vancouver needs to let Goldobin have some more ice time. that would improve their offense.

That defensive coverage was Oiler-esque.

We’re actually 2nd behind Tampa Bay.

We are also -1 in our goal differential.

I support the initiative, but I doubt it will change much unfortunately...

Depends what "Enough" means. There's 21 Americans on these two teams combined, I'm sure at least a few of them are on the "What we need is more guns!" side.

Plus we know Ilya has a missing nuclear missile somewhere in his basement and Dubnyk has an array of AR21's that he uses to shoot at pictures of Darryl Katz in his basement.

lol they were tied with Tbay when I posted that and then Tbay scored 2 goals late in the 3rd of their game (after the canucks game was over) to take the lead ... but yah ... that goal difference is something lol ... reminds me of the Mariners runs scored difference when they were near the top of the AL West this past MLB season ... we all know how that played out ... UNSUSTAINABILITY FOR THE WIN !!!!

 

[mooger_35]

Ya, I’m no fancy stats guru but this doesn’t seem like a sustainable way to keep winning.

Joe Thornton receives a standing ovation in Dallas for playing in his 1500th NHL game. : hockey

Classy move by Stars fans to give jumbo a standing ovation for his 1,500th game in Dallas last night.

Thank you Tomas.

Wonder why they signed him? As a gift for him to get his 1000th game as a Hab? Or did his skills diminish more than they thought?

We can still say Eff Dallas though, right?

My guess is the 1000 game thing. Always a class organization.

Maybe a side dose of "we thought we would really suck this year, so lets do Tomas a solid since it doesnt matter" and then they come out of the gate respectably and decide to give it a go.

Absolutely, it's aa inalienable human right.

saw it ... was pretty heartwarming

big ovation during a stoppage in play ... short video tribute of career highlights ... camera shows fans giving standing o ... loud cheers ... camera pans to Joe ... you can see hes getting misty eyed ... turns to all the fans and lifts a glove to wave at every corner of the arena ... and you dont have to be a lip reader to see with each wave hes mouthing the words "Fuck Dallas"

it was beautiful

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Always a class organization.

Congrats to Thornton on 1500 games. Would be good to see him get a Cup before he retires.
