It’s like when you draft a player in a fantasy pool and don’t want to be wrong. Very simple concept, they thought they saw something and want to see something. Nobody likes to be wrong. And the nhl is full of incompetent dumbass
Good game, Ottawa, Think we've been slightly better but our bottom players blow and you're clearly missing Karlsson.
If you couldn’t tell by them giving up 9 goals with 14:39 left, Pittsburgh’s defense is fucking atrocious
Ness-Chorney was amazingly bad, we're fucked(we're always fucked) if Djoos and co can't provide something Our first 2 offensive lines, maybe top 3, are as good as there is in hockey but back end D is a fucking joke
I hope they bring up Bowey, would rather watch a guy with top 4 potential than some of these veteran scrubs
Not as top heavy as last year, but looks like it's gonna be a fun year to follow the Calder race. Keller, McAvoy, and Hischier have looked awesome, and then you have guys like JEE , Patrick, and Debrincat who could have big years as well.
Here’s a funny story... We go out for beers after the game and one of the guys who comes with us is a local guy who’s on the PGA Tour ( or was recently ) Brad Fritsch. He tells us he watched the game from the GM’s box with Pierre Dorion. During the game his buddy who lives here in Ottawa is texting him saying you should come to some party this weekend. Brad says would love to but I’m in Charlotte and can’t make it. Anyways camera pans to the GM box and there’s Brad standing next to Pierre; on tv. He has no idea but 10 seconds later this buddy is texting him calling him a liar. Hahaha...
Shipachev and Theodore are starting the season in the minors because VGK couldn't find any takers for one of their shitty extra D
Djoos is first to get his chance and he put up 58 points in 66 games for Hershey last year. Chorney and Ness offer nothing on either end. Was nice to see Vrana look good, easily his best game as a pro. Bottom pairs should get better with Wilson but he seems to be going out of his way to be the biggest dumbass in the league.
What McPhee has done with the VGK is pretty embarassing. Franchise's first game and he has to sit his best player, Shipachyov and his best young D Theodore because he couldn't unload his poo poo platter of Defenseman. Had to play with 11 forwards. I think he really botched the start of this franchise but there is no situation to compare it to so everyone just agreed he was a mastermind.
Vinegar Strokes I know we have our own game to worry about tonight but let’s not forget that the Wings play tonight as well. Please do the honors.
Lots of scoring the first few days of the season. I assume we will see a rash of 2-1 games coming up.
I sold my tickets because I wanted to watch UM/MSU (not that I won’t be flipping back and forth but it’s hard for me to go to Saturday games when CFB is on) Love the month of October
And psu looks damn good, I also like watching a little bit of baseball when the games are close and towards the end. So many sports to watch
