NHL Hockey thread

From the lack of NBA highlights on TSN I can only regret that the NHL is once again back in operation.

It was a close run thing though.  If they'd held out until after the Superbowl, there would have been no interesting sports in North America.

The wasteland of Alberta would have been unhappy but the civilized world would hot have noticed.  I wish I could get ESPN instead of TSN (The Skating Network)

The south is not the civilized world.

Correct, there are still some enclaves in the South that need to have hockey eradicated

Civilized world?  Kind of a funny thing to call yourself, when you look at what happened last time Vancouver went to the finals.

And basketball is stupid.  Please stop liking it.

Another Sabres win.  Man, I forgot how much I enjoy watching hockey and how intense the closing minutes can be.  Buffalo better work on their damned faceoff skills all week though.  That was just ugly.  Nice to see the boys get physical though.  A very welcome change from recent years where they simply allowed other teams to bully them.

One hour to puck drop Valmy.

Last year the Jets record against the Caps was 4-1-1.

Eh it is clearly taking awhile to get Adam Oates' system in place.  I guess that makes sense considering there was no preseason or training camp or anything.

I think it shows for many teams.  The players seem to lack some coordination, the least worst team seems to win usually.

Sure.  That's it.

Jets are now lifetime 5-1-1 against the Caps.

[Valmy]

Sure.  That's it.

It is the second game of a new coach tenure and the season.  What do you want?  Wailing and gnashing of teeth?  I didn't enjoy the game much if that helps.

Well good for them.  I hope they go beat the teams I hate like the Canes and the Lightening.
