Watching an emotional Vegas team right now.
Vegas is pretty aggressive and amped. Happy for the city and will root for them(MAF)

Other NHL teams can be discussed here I suppose.
Cope had the idea last season. So here's a try

New Jersey defeated Toronto last night 6-3

Toronto may have a solid team this season.
Young and they got some playoff exposure last season.

The East is gonna be a grind as always

Philthy Flyers beat the Caps tonight 8-2.

Matt Niskanen is expected to miss 10 games due to an upper body injury

Injuries.
Hearing rumors Ovechkin in being selfish again.
Two hated rivals in Washington and Philly.
But I do like Wayne Simmonds. The guy can game

NJ looks pretty good so far. The Rags don't look so hot so far. The Met is gonna be a meat grinder again this year.

Ovechkin is a puck hog.

I HATE Simmonds. He's a cheap shot artist, and is not afraid to throw elbows at your goalies. He's the reason why Murray missed the beginning of the playoff run 2 years ago. That concussion was Wayne's.

Though he's one of those Barnaby players, though much more skilled on offense, but he's just always nagging, yapping, and doing whatever he can to get under your skin. Love players like this when they are on your team, hate to play against them...

That's why I like him.
He can get under opponents skin. He's skillful enough to bother too.

Simmonds, Zuccarello, Auston Matthews and Drew Doughty are my fave non-Pens players.
Giroux, Lundqvist, anyone from CBJ atm are all enemies

I was always a fan of the Flyers and Pens. Being from central PA, I am all over PA teams in general. Growing up I was a Hextall, Tocchet fan and also liked watching the Lindros years. I didn't get into the Pens hardcore until the finals vs Chicago. Though my favorite all time player is Dominek Hasek. The single most dominating goaltender I've ever seen. He won Hart trophies when Gretzky and Lemieux were playing. Dude got a gold medal for the Czek team in the Olympics, and took a one line Buffalo team to the finals.

Always love Barnaby, Pecca and Satan from that old Sabers team as well. Was a big Kasperitis fan. That guy could hit!

Trust me the Simmonds hate is new, and strictly for beaning Murray. It was a busch league play reserved for goons, not players as good as him.

And I did ask for a league news thread, and also one for international hockey. Olympic/World Cup hockey is some of the best hockey you can see!

Went to buy All Star tickets. $200 a piece for the seats near the very top. I did not buy.

I've been very upset at the price grab the NHL shows. Especially during outdoor games. Face on those are $200, and you're lucky to get them under $500 a piece if you don't win a ticket lottery.

Not much is missed during the all-star weekend.
Unless you're into skills competition.

Last seasons all-star format was pretty neat with the 3 on 3 tournament. Teams repping their divisions, etc.
If it's like last seasons. Then yeah enjoy it if you can finder cheaper tickets
