It looks like at least 2 elite centers is the norm now plus another elite wing or two is a must if you're going to compete with Toronto. I can't believe I'm typing that. Hopefully Palms keeps it up! Are they the team to beat in the East? Early returns seem to indicate that. And TBL had a bad home loss to a so-so VAN team last night....

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Sterio mentioned this in the GDT and I expanded on it, but man is this cheesy as hell: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/ct-spt-blackhawks-predators-banners-20181010-story.html The Central Division Banner I get. Nothing wrong there. President's Trophy? Very meh, and I would NEVER want the Devils to put up a PT Banner...but that doesn't make me quite as ill as: REGULAR SEASON Western Conference Champs Yes, the Preds actually made the "regular season" lettering noticeably smaller...almost like the designers are hoping those who dare to glance rafter-ward will somehow overlook them. I would've DESTROYED the Devils if they had done this in 1997-98 and 1998-99. Regular Season Western Conference Champs?! When was THAT ever a thing?! Wow that's pathetic and lame. Yikes.

Tavares will hit like a 3-game pointless streak, certain headlines will be written, the city will have a meltdown, he'll choose to shoot instead of pass on a 2-on-1 in OT, but miss, and they'll call him a selfish player, it'll somehow stick, etc., etc.... It's Toronto, their hyperbole game is sooooooo strong and self-destructive, I can't take their media seriously. I learned that the first time I visited there and their prime time Sports Centre was breaking down Leafs PRACTICE FOOTAGE and talking about Phaneuf's "body language" in practice, it was so pathetic watching how toxic their media is, like someone with severe bipolar disorder: irrational highs and unfair lows.

John MacLean once scored 18 goals in 12 games. As quickly as writers and some others will make a big deal of the Leafs' offensive outburst now, they'll quickly forget it when everything levels out. If the Leafs average much more than 3.5 GPG or so for the season, I'll be stunned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored just 8 goals the rest of the way, in 43 GP. One pretty amazing stat about Marleau, regardless of what some might think about him (he's a bit of a compiler, but that's due to freakish durability, as you'll soon see); if he doesn't miss a game this season, he'll have gone his entire 30s WITHOUT HAVING MISSED A SINGLE REGULAR SEASON GAME. To date, he's played in 709 out of a possible 709 regular season games since turning 30. And though his offensive numbers have declined a bit since the end of the 2013-14 season, they're still not bad...about 25 G and 25 A per 82 GP over the last four seasons, entering this one. Assuming he manages to play in every game yet again in 2018-19, he'll be fifth on the NHL all-time games-played by season's end (he's currently 11th, but will move past Ray Bourque, Larry Murphy, Scott Stevens, Dave Andreychuk, Chris Chelios, and Mark Recchi). And he'll be just 110 GP behind all-time leader Gordie Howe. Edited October 12, 2018 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I typically scroll through the schedule a few days in advance to see if there's any games I might want to catch coming up, particularly on the weekends if I'm either at the bar or in general can just stay up later to watch since I don't have to get up early the next day, and when I saw there were literally zero games on this night I was pretty stunned. Makes absolutely no sense to me. Brand new season, a week in, and they don't have even one game on.

I know recent events suggest I’m crazy, but I believe you should, y’know, look at what someone actually did in meting out punishment. The league is obviously trying to set the table for a de facto life time ban for Voynov, which would not be unjustified. It just made a mistake in trying to make an example of someone who shouldn’t have been made an example of.

LittleBallofHate Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 The Islanders have signed Stephen Gionta, yet again - 1 year, 2-way. @AGrossNewsday #Isles Lou Lamoriello on Stephen Gionta, signed off a PTO today: "He wasn’t in our plans at all this year and asked to come to camp and certainly just stuck with it the whole time...He’ll go to Bridgeport and certainly will teach young players how to be pros."
