I really like where this Florida/Tampa Bay rivalry is going. A blood feud is exactly what they need. I saw the tail end of their game on Saturday(thanks Center Ice free preview), and it was a pretty exciting game. Very fast paced. Still needs to get a bit more physical though.

The NuJets finally won a game, defeating the Penguins 2-1 in Winnipeg.

Damn the Oilers look like a way different team then the team from last year tonight. That was pure domination against the Preds.

I seriously think this is the year the Sharks' streak of division titles ends.

Yeah, needs a little more violence to really set it off, but it's a good start. The Panthers powerplay is RIDICULOUS.

Florida has a powerplay?
What is this- the year 2000?!

Florida has a powerplay? What is this- the year 2000?! It might be. Petr Sykora and Patrick Elias are in the Devils top pairing and Brodeur's still in net.

And the Blue Jackets are still without a win.
If there's a market that I still find confusing to place a team in, it's Columbus, Ohio. It's really sad when you're the only professional team in town and very few people give a rat's ass about you. Ohio State Buckeyes hockey games get more interest.

Well, that was the worst officiated game I've ever seen.
Why do the refs baby Carolina EVERY F***ING TIME we play them? It's unbelievable. It's like they're all f***ing Gretzky out there. Jay Harrison starts shit with Horton, and they reward Carolina with a 5-on-3 (they even gave Rask the leaving the crease penalty, but not Ward). Gleason starts shit with Horton, they throw Horton out of the game. Skinner starts shit with Marchand, they throw Marchand out of the game. Gleason starts shit with Lucic, they throw Lucic out of the game. They even threw Claude Julien out for shits and giggles.
In the last 9 minutes of a 2-1 game, they gave the Bruins 40 MINUTES IN PENALTIES. 4 minors in less than a minute. Zero for Carolina. Bunch of goddamn pussies. I lost a lot of respect for Tim Gleason.

Embarrassing that Crawford only had an .875 save percentage tonight against the Coyotes. What? He only saw 16 shots? *Snicker* Phoenix sucks. And the Hawks finally beat LaBarbera. Can't wait to see the highlights.
I'm thinking that if this team stays healthy, they'll contend. Crawford seems to be locking in to the "get me 3 goals tonight and we win" mode. It'll be interesting to see how the top 3 lines shake out (considering Coach Q is big on shuffling them, anyhow). Kruger centering Stalberg and Mayers on the 4th is a nice mix of speed and toughness, much better than the Dowell/Skille/Scott lines of last year, for sure.
And for those maybe interested, tonight on even ice the Hawks went with: Andrew Brunette / Jonathan Toews / Patrick Sharp Dan Carcillo / Patrick Kane / Marian Hossa Bryan Bickell / Dave Bolland / Michael Frolik Victor Stalberg / Marcus Kruger / Mayers
Don't lie: when you heard the Hawks signed Mayers and Carbomb, you assumed they were going for a Goon Line with John Scott. Show of hands - who is amused/surprised that Carcillo is getting more than 10 minutes (of ice time, not PIM) per night?

Great, great win by the Kings tonight back at Staples. The place was rocking and by their play you knew the Kings were happy to be back home. Our top two lines and Jarret Stoll were on freakin' fire. Everybody in the top six got an a point tonight and Brownie, Stollie and Kopi walk away with goals. Gags looked awesome netting two, Mike was f***ing amazing out there and Quickie was being Quickie. And our bottom two lines played with the intelligence, grit, and heart that we need them to play with.
That being said, our PK unit, despite not giving up a goal, didn't look all that great out there (couldn't clear the puck) and out PP still needs a little more work, but it was a near perfect game for the boys.
This performance is what I expect out of the Kings this season.

Sorry for the double post here, but it seems like the Carolina Hurricanes seem to troll extra hard on the Bruins dating back to their playoff series against them in 09. Yeah, they pull cheap shit against other teams, but it seems a bit more subdued. However, for some reason whenever they play Boston or even Buffalo, they take their troll to the max.
On a side note, if the Canes were still in Hartford, this would probably be the new, hot rivalry in the NHL because I'm sure both teams would be in the Northeast, so they'd play each other a lot and the New England sports media would eat it up due to their proximity.

Even their announcers are trolls. They actually used "team toughness" to describe Tim Gleason and Allen both pussying out against Lucic at the same time. It's a shame what they've done to Gleason. He used to be tough. They play exactly like Eric Staal. They run their mouths and slash at your legs/back, but hide behind the refs when it's time to man up. I mean..... Chris Kelly kicked one of their asses.

I am SCARED of the LA Kings this season.
When I was at Vegas in August, I put 10 bucks on them to win the West.

Habbies and those canuck bitchs lose haha. Leafs got the only game tonight against the jets. They're still basically the old atlanta team and the leafs usually played well against them. Hopefully kessel keeps in beast mode for at least the weekend as we got boston thursday and montreal saturday
