I agree, I like it too. Coyle did look good, and Bouchard has a guy with a proven ability to score goals as a line mate.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Another bad rebound on a weak shot given up by Backstrom leads to a rebound goal. He looks like he is super slow this year especially side to side.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Kane gets his second straight 2 goal game with two power play goals. Hawks without a regulation loss 11 games in.

Great move Bruins free up 5 million and are now under the cap.
The Islanders pick up cap money that they won't have to pay.
Looks like a big move is on the way?

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Blackhawks look good so far
Hope they can keep it up

Don

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

He's been giving up some big juicy rebounds, especially last night. I would have to guess Harding will be in nets tomorrow vs Nashville.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

No way they can keep up the pace, just hope they can be consistent. :tu


The Bruins are moving to Portland? :noon

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

LOL Portland would be a big move, not as big a move as the Whalers made back in the day ...

I don't see the bruins making a 'personnel' move, I see them wanting to be under the threshold. They have good chemistry and are clicking, hell the first season is almost over and time for the playoffs already! haha

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Had a bird's eye view of a 2-1 OT Wild victory. Setoguchi with the over time goal. Hopefully that get's him going. Glad to be at one of the better games the Wild have played this year.

The Wild got a gift, that penalty on the Preds was complete :bs

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

It was but it was a nice goal and they finally looked like a team that had a little bit of chemistry late in the game! Not to mention the zebras missed about 4 penalties on the Preds during regulation.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Love those seats. Can watch the plays develop. Back in the Lemaire days that's where I learned about the neutral zone trap!

Yeah, the penalty was a gift, but sometimes you catch a break. Not something I'm used to with the Wild.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Definitely I was right in line with the Seto GW goal and you could tell he was out there to take that shot. They got it to him three times before Mason finally slid over late and got beat.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Hawks and Bruins doin well.
Watched Bs Sabres the other day. Have not seen a team standing around like the sabres in their own zone in a long time.

Sharks have gone ice cold look horrible. Ahhh sky is falling. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Ouch, tough way to lose for the Avs. Dominating OT, puck off a referee when trying to clear....game over. Played just well enough to lose I guess.....:gary

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Saw that. Bad bad. Somebody said something to him and he barked at the player.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Marleau and Thornton started out as the 2 hottest forwards in the NHL, then went 5 games without a single point from either of them. At least they got off the snide tonight, maybe a good sign for the future.

I hope just not on the next 2 Fridays. :lr

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Wings are second in the Central but they're GF/GA is bad. Only +1 overall. They have won 3 straight though. Haven't had a chance to watch much. Been too busy. Need to make some time.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Interesting statistic I heard today.

The Islanders Matt Moulson has scored 65 goals since December 2010. John Tavares has been on the ice for every single one of them. Wow.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sharks lose 6th straight. At least in the playoffs my misery ends at 4 in a row.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Yah talk about falling apart and fast, meanwhile Chi is still steamrolling and the Bs are staying fairly solid, still ticked only get 1/2 season.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Bad run. Mix of bad bad play and bad luck, really just bad play. The game against cbj where vlassic is playing anisimov on the breakaway with Foligno to the wall loses his stick. Instead of continuing to play anisimov and just bodying him he stops to go get his stick. Now its a 2 on 1 and a easy goal. How in your own zone you would think thats the best choice I dont know. It was literally like he just said &uckit. This from an (allegedly) top level defenseman.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I claim no significant experience playing hockey; aside from playing street & floor hockey in elementary school, and 1 season of roller hockey in college and I think I learned better than that by day 2.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

This is just a frustrating year so far........ Now EJ is out as well.....and word is that the good money is that O'Reilly has played his last game in an Avs jersey.......

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Matt Cooke is at it again, and now Ottawa has lost the highest scoring D-man in the NHL for an extended period.

http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/89...ring-cut-skate

I was watching the game....looked like an obvious stomp to the back of the leg to me. The Pens announcers kept playing it off as an inadventant accident. Watch the replay at 0:46 and decide for yourself.

Hope this guy gets tossed for good. :2

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sure did look like that guy had some intent there?
Cooke is a POS and should have been dealt with long ago.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I agree with you, looks like it will be another ho-hum season at best :2

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I watched the video on YouTube. I hope he finally goes away, but doubt it will happen. Hes going to say it wasnt on purpose. Given he tried to kick osgood in the neck he has shown he will use his skates. I know you dont like Grapes Tom, but his video on Cooke is perfect and shows a lot of his intent to injure knee hits and headshots. He was quiet for a season, but you knew he would do something.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I agree that his true colors were gonna come out again at some point, Mike...leopard and his spots, ya know. To me, it is clear cut he did that to Karlsson intentionally.

And who said I don't like Grapes? :r He is obnoxious, but he is also funny and sure knows his hockey.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I can guarantee that he will say it was not intentional. I do think he meant to do it. I've watched a lot of hockey in my life, and I can remember ever seeing someone bringing up the skate like that while finishing a check. Cooke's reputation definitely proceeds him here. I think he should definitely face some disciplinary action.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Shanahan has already said no discipline for Cooke, Steve. And we know Cooke will say it was unintentional. But like you, I know of no play along the boards where lifting the skate a foot of the ice is a "hockey play".

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Matt Cooke is the biggest cheat shot artist in the NHL and has been for years. Had to deal with him in Vancouver for years playing against the Wild. I remember one cheap shot in particular where he took a head shot against Mikko Koivu and when our enforcer Matt Johnson (who could take anybody down) stepped in to fight him, Cooke slashed him in the ankle and spent the rest of the game running from him and hiding behind his teammates. Hate that guy.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Avs win(SO)....I'm not watching.... Hope it wasn't some type of karma thing.....:confused:

:r

GO AVS!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I'd say it was mostly because the Wild have no clue how to win shootouts....It was a good game though. The Wild actually scored more than one goal, and the Aves looked pretty good even with all the injuries.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Hawks are now tied for 3rd longest undefeated in regulation streak to start a season, and only 2 from the record. The Anaheim Ducks started 12-0-4 in 2006-07. The Edmonton Oilers went 12-0-3 in 1984-85.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sharks are just on a downward spiral.
Ugly to watch

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Niemi has been the bright spot, with the exception of last night...he just ran into a freight train, Mike.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Avs are going to give up 60 SOG tonight...WTF???

Go Avs!!!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Oilers look desperate, be afraid, E.J.....be very afraid. ;)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Phuck....ugh... That game hurt to watch...

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Oilers just wanted it more at the end, and the Bulin Wall looked pretty spry for 40.

Better luck next game, E.J. Hopefully the Avs find some consistency (except when they play the Hawks). ;)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

After one of the worst first periods I've ever seen the Wild play they came back from two rip to beat the Wings 3-2. I was about to give up in this game. Glad I didnt.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

You must not watch too many Wild games.



I keed, I keed!! ;s

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

That stung Hog......and as underachieving as they have been that was still the worst first period Ive seen for awhile

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Just funnin', the Wild have beaten the Hawks almost every time I have seen them at the UC, so maybe I am a little bitter. :lr

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Hawks tie the record for best start in NHL history, but may have lost Marian Hossa in the process. Forearm shiver to the back of the head from Yannik Hanson for no good reason....man, I have the cucking Fanucks.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I'm with you on the Canucks. Hate em!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Now if only the Cubs would play like that......Oh wait just dreaming better wake up.

Don

Let's go Hawks get the record and bring the Cup back where it belongs
