Feels like I'm watching a Red Wings 5-on-3.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Green got away with one there.

Green got away with one there.

Couldn't tell by looking at Q-ville.

Backstrom won like 7 straight faceoffs there. Nice work.

 

[elocomotive]

Ooooo, so many close calls here.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

WHERE IS IT?!?!

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Backstrom won like 7 straight faceoffs there. Nice work.

That's the problem with the Sabres. We won seven total last year.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Washington should put Holtby back in net - they play better 5-on-5.

 

[hokiehi21]

ahhh DC sports why you gotta be so painful? at least we got the game in Chicago outta the way.

 

[elocomotive]

Is that a new rule?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Hate that fucking song.

 

[Kevin12773]

Oh well. Tough draw to start in Chicago when they raised the banner. 81 more to go.

Damn I'm glad hockey's back

Well, you can't say it wasn't entertaining...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Is that a new rule?

New to me, but I've not seen a play like that before.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Oh well, It was a good game to watch. Congrats Hawks fans. Not to worry Caps fans looks like your guy's will be fine.

 

[apachef4]

Is that a new rule?

I don't think so. I believe OV got one like that last season.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Well, you can't say it wasn't entertaining...

It was to the neutral fans as well!

Good game all around, guys.

 

[elocomotive]

Well, not the result we wanted. But I like how we played tonight. Forwards especially looked good. Need more consistency from the D and Holtby.

GG, Hawks.

 

[elocomotive]

60-3.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Is that a new rule?

No it's been like that for a long time, you just don't see it often.
