Shots attempts now 41-13 Nashville. Minnesota is going to be fucking putrid y'all.

 

I fucking despise Devan Dubnyk

 

That save was something

 

Sabres looking good tonight

 

Less than thirty minutes!

 

Going to be a long season. :(

 

All my trashing Minny and now they’re winning

 

I like this Avs team.

 

Polak head first into the boards. Bringing out a stretcher for him.

 

That picture of Marchand and W is the definition of a cursed image. I'm not sullying this place by posting it so you're welcome.

 

Okay, I love Matt Duchene

 

Ducks slow to start but jump out in front for the first lead of the game.

 

Three assists for Duchene tonight, nice.

 

Lucic just decked a guy with his fucking gloves on. Vile fucking scum.

 

How do they give Zadorov a fighting penalty to try and avoid more Lucic cheap shots?

 

Other than the Lucic/Neal trade, what choice did they make that falls under that umbrella? The team is mostly the same. Rieder and Talbot are the only other new players, and they didn't lose anyone of note.

 

The Flames biggest issue will be their goaltending

 

The Flames have the same problems this season that they did last season. It's a bummer.

 

4 point night for zibanejad

Good start

 

Ducks were sloppy but they also didn’t dump and chase all night so this will automatically be a good season.

 

Canes looked good last night, apart from a really sloppy second period where they kind of lost focus. All of the new guys looked good. Dzingel looked particularly lively, hitting a couple of posts. Necas looked like a man possessed out there. Brock McGinn is not a top 6 winger.

 

the plan has to be Necas replacing McGinn on that line right?

 

I’m fine with them experimenting with line combos, and I think there’s plenty of arguments on how we can mix and match. Personally I think I would lean towards:

Nino - Aho - Necas
Svech - Staal - TT
Dzingel - Haula - McGinn
Foegele - Wallmark - Martinook

and if they didn’t like Necas slotted up that high we could roll:

Nino - Aho - Svech
Dzingel - Staal - TT
Martinook - Haula - Necas
Foegele - Wallmark - McGinn

I could also see a situation where Necas locks down top 6 minutes and they go back and forth between Dzingel and Nino in the top 6 depending on who has the hot hand.
