I'm just used to the Flyers and Matt Cooke being the masters of dirty play. The Canes are making the Flyers look squeaky clean in comparison. And with a Parise empty net goal, Devils win their first game 4-2! Congratulations! Now prepare to go 1-2 by the end of Thursday night. (Yes, I'm going to go ahead and assume the Kings beat the Devils...hopefully. *knocks on wood*)

Nobody has lobbied more for player safety than Cherry. Taking plastic caps out of pads, showing how large pads have gotten, no touch icing, the RESPECT campaign, showing kids over and over dangerous plays NHLers make. What really pisses people off about Cherry is when he said the people who wear visors were Europeans and French guys, he was right, because rather than be outraged, someone counted. The majority of visors were worn by Europeans and French Canadiens. They're pissed off he shows fights on Coach's Corner.

How does Cherry stay employed anyway? All my hockey loving friends in the great white north can't stand him.

Was at both of the Devils first two games...amazing, today felt like I was watching a completely different team.
Gives me some good feelings about DeBoer; he clearly saw something was wrong in game one, and I'm guessing he got the locker room's collective ass in order. Good.
Parise was absolutely on fire, Tedenby was like a rabid squirrel, and the D was a LOT more solid and better about clearing the area in front of goal.
Looking over the schedule, NOT looking forward to there being an entire week off from Devils games later on this month. Meh, at least the World Series should be going on.

For you Trivia buffs out there, Nik Antropov scored the first official goal for the reborn Jets. He's an ex-Leaf, even. How many losses will it take for Winnipeg fans to realize that their new Jets are the same sucky Thrashers. (No offense to Winnipeg fans...)

Yeah, if the changes to the team today were DeBoer's doing, I think he's going to do just fine. The Moose looked great in the net, too.

Yeah, it's always clear that Moose isn't as sharp as Marty at the little details, but the guy gets the job done, and does it nicely.
By the by, underrated hero of the game? Dainus Zubrus. Part of me wishes he at least got an "A" on his sweater, guy plays his heart out every shift, is fantastic at using his size to create space for others, and was even the lone forward during the 5-on-3 kill today and looked great in the role. He doesn't score much, but he does almost EVERYTHING else wonderfully, you need someone like him.

I think Jets fans are a wittle bit disappointed. They're still the Thrashers, just in new jerseys, not some new and improved super team. Sorry about your luck That being said, hi everybody.

He's no Marty (but then, who is?), but Hedberg I think makes up for it by being just a lot more athletic than the aging Brodeur is. If he takes over as starting goalie once Brodeur retires I wouldn't mind that at all. IMO he's the best backup goalie in the entire NHL.

I'm glad the Wings are off to a good start with back-to-back wins. Granted, it's against Ottawa and Colorado, but I'm liking that they're moving the puck around. Obviously, my sports priorities are a little preoccupied with the whole Tigers in the playoffs and Lions being well thing, but I'm still trying to keep up with the Wings as well.

I'm excited to see if he gets a lot of play time in Chicago this season. And as much as it pains me to say this, Al Montoya could end up being a hell of a goalie this season. Ugh, that was like swallowing acid that hurt so bad, lol.

He's a pretty decent netminder. Or is it the whole Islanders/Penguins faux rivalry thing going on?
