8 years @ $7M. I am very pleased about squeaking that extra year out of him.

Well, time to start over. Flyers-Bruins now.

 

[Wordplay]

I love Grapes. He just showed what the new NHL looks like and will continue to look like when players are afraid to hit in the game.

 

[actuarial]

Well Leafs nation gets at least one more night of hope.

 

[Dominato3r]

Wow what a save by Fluery

 

[iRONic]

Amazing ceremony at TD Garden last night!

B's dominated the first fifteen minutes of the game but Philly has a goalie now. A real goalie...

Bryz beat 'em in the season opener last year too. Oh well, 81 games left. Lucic continues to fail along the boards in the D zone. Ugh... fix.dat pleae. kthx

Don't think they needed to pass the cup around like they just won it...

...in Vancouver.

...in Vancouver.

They had the parade in Vancouver too?

 

[iRONic]

They had the parade in Vancouver too?

Noooo, they had a full-on riot in Loserville.

I watched the Canucks pregame ceremony partially dedicated to the people who cleaned up that SCF Game 7 riot mess. Think that was unnecessary too?

If you need to have it explained to you why the Bruins fans enjoyed seeing their team do a mini Cup skate on home ice... whatever.

 

[Blackjack200]

And if you need it explained why hockey starved fans across the country found the 45 minute masterbatory ceremony excessive 4 months after the cup was won... whatever. And yeah, my team has won the cup on the road, and no, opening night of the following season didn't look anything like that.

On the other hand, if my team won the cup again, I wouldn't give a fuck what any other fan thought of how we celebrated, so I wouldn't listen to me at all if I was you.

Under the heading of 'more important matters': Tell Mr Seguin that he is no longer permitted to sandbag my fantasy hockey team by hitting crossbars and missing wide open nets.

 

[Jeffg010]

Don't worry Bruins won't win it this year mark my words. The Pens will be the team to beat when Crosby comes back they will dominate.

 

[JujuFish]

Glad to see the Sabres win. Let's go Buffalo!

 

[Fingolfin269]

Oh yes the Preds have scored their first goal of the season!

Sens trailing Wings 4-0 after two. It's a learning experience for our young players and par for the course with a rebuilding team. We actually did not play that bad but turnovers killed us and an experienced team like Detroit is gonna bury those chances.

 

[xSauronx]

hurricanes open to a total suckfest. the season has officially begun.

/expected no less

Gonchar looked like he didn't even give a fuck on the Bert goal.

OK job Wings. Next time don't let in 3 goals at the end of the game.

 

[n7]

What a finish between the Leafs & Sens.

Really too bad the Sens couldn't tie it up.

 

[xSauronx]

hurricanes didnt suck hard: surprise
hurricanes lost: not surprise.


/gimme a win guys. please.

 

[Wordplay]

Suck it Avs.

Nice give and go between Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

Hawks are going to be pretty solid this year.

Much better that the "throw random pieces together and pray" strategy of last year, although I guess it was probably unavoidable.

And, crazy as I might be, I still think they could have won the cup if Sharp buries that OT shot in game 7.
