did it. was overrated. Peeps in the Weast are just different. (no hate, comment specific towards Hanford/Visalia/Hollywood/Pismo Beach)


Miren your choice of hockey in Florida though. Would never have thought it was popular to play there

Yeah I mean I played roller and ice from like about age 6 onward, and it pretty much became more and more popular every year

Used to have to play our games at like 4-5am because it's the only time we could get ice time, but there are rinks all over down here...both ice and roller

[441Forty]

Pretty much every analytic out there has them regressing hard plus they got worse, not better. Varlamov is going to have a hard time carrying that team 2 years in a row if they don't change their almost non-existent defensive system.

Hard time making the playoffs imo.

Hard time making the playoffs? In no situation is making the playoffs in the West easy but c'mon.

Out of those that made it last year, I don't really see any one of them missing. Varlamov regressing or not, they made it pretty comfortably last year.

Only other team that may make it is Vancouver, and I'd put them at having a slightly better chance than AZ. In other words, I doubt either will.

I'm going with the same 8 as last season.

Is this the year the Oilers finally click?
Will the Leafs blow away the end of their season again?
Are the new and improved Islanders going to make the playoffs?
Will the Red Wings continue their playoff streak?
How long will Brodeur be around for?
Who will get McDavid?
Who will be the dark horses?
...

Players I'm excited to watch this year: Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Jonathan Drouin, Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl, Nathan Mackinnon, Matt Duchene, Patrice Bergeron, Kyle Turris, Tyler Toffoli, Ryan Strome, Tomas Tatar, and Sean Monahan.

[one-two]

Might as well go with their playoff logo instead


Seems like it was less than a month ago the SCFs had just ended.

didn't we end preseason 5-2? brah, that means we're on pace for a 55-22-5 season (did i do my math right)

We replaced Scuds on ice production with RR. Willie's impact is more than just on the ice though, he's the senior leader.

You must be new here, there is no place for actual hockey talk in this thread.

[KAFKATHEALPHA]

He wasn't sure if they were in the West or East and wanted to cover both bases amiright?

Nope just a Spongebob reference

can confirm, oceano dunes + bonfire + lifted trucks with sluts and stipper poles is a great time. Will say the womens are on another level, baseline. NJ needs to import some


from: http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-...oddsmakers-say

"As early as it is, here is a quick look at the top 10 via Bovada:

1. Chicago Blackhawks: 15/2
2. Boston Bruins: 8/1
3. Pittsburgh Penguins: 9/1
4. Los Angeles Kings: 10/1
5. St. Louis Blues: 10/1
6. Anaheim Ducks: 14/1
7. San Jose Sharks: 14/1
8. Colorado Avalanche: 18/1
9. Minnesota Wild: 18/1
10. New York Rangers: 18/1

According to Bovada, the Buffalo Sabres have the worst odds of winning the Stanley Cup at 75/1. Joining them near the bottom are the Calgary Flames, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and New York Islanders, all set at 66/1."

[Nestoran]

Mind blown at St Louis being 5th favourites srs

[biggoron]

I'd throw a twenty on the Isles for kicks. But they do not deserve to be that low

Just put 1k on it. Don't expect to win but great odds IMO.

One more day until the Flyers are hopefully taught a lesson. I hope Lucic lets Giroux know who's boss. If the Night Train tries anything, Mr. Chara will make him think twice for the next time.

lol lets see if Giroux shows up the first 15 games this year..

[Jaroctor]

[amikaelmorris]

das a beaut

[LyonGaultier]

Looking forward to getting back into hockey this season, Avalanche fan checking in.

[ChaseW]

IN for Giroux to score 100pts to put the team on his back and make the playoffs for an ugly first round exit

Dude was recovering from having a tendon in his hand severed by a broken golf club during the offseason

[KurtMussell]

There you have it folks, the Montreal Canadiens highlight reel from the 2014/2015 season.

[Ejjw18]

So I know there's not many Hawks fans on here, but what do you guys think is an honest assessment of the team for this year? I still say the Hawks and Kings are the class of the West and adding Richards really filled a big need for them. I think the biggest question mark will be Crawford.

Crawford is always the question.

Richards will be interesting, Carcillo is back to rack up minutes in the box - glad to have that grit back.

[cadetduke]

Sop my survivor league email says the draft is supposed to be tonight. Apparently the draft was Sunday.

Here's my goalie lineup...

Jhonas Enroth
Niklas Svedberg
Petr Mrazek

i got sum bad news.. Enroth is good, but having him as a primary goalie for the sabres, he'll get wrecked

If Crawford does well, the team should do well. I have Richards in 3 of my fantasy leagues this year in the hopes that he'll have a breakout season with the hawks.. he's 2nd line, with Shaw moving down to third.

That being said, I hope Nyquist is the true breakout player this season.
