The Red Wings won their first game of the year tonight.

So Boston is 2-0 against Toronto...the team tied for first in the NHL.


I'd be a little more worried about being 0-2 against the Canadiens (25th) and Hurricans (21st). In those four games, Seguin had just two goals.

Wait what am I saying. Toronto had an elite goalie in net tonight. Those two teams only had Price and Ward.

The Spitfires came through the bridge tonight.

Wow they beat Plymouth 3-2. We smoked them last night 6-2. Wasn't even close.

Of course they are pulling OHL cheese. Basically Windsor is trading their entire team away for draft picks in the 2013 draft, so that year they will stock pile on players for 2014 when they want to make a memorial cup bid.

Jack Campbell needs to ask for a trade soon because he is just going to be made to look like such a bum with all the goals they are letting in.

Im sure when Reimer comes back he will score like 5 goals a game right?

Columbus is just so terribly bad....I feel bad for Rick Nash, guy is a great player but will never get any recognition playing there.

I posted awhile back that the Jackets problem is themselves, and really isn't to much of the players. What I mean is, the organization has fucked up so badly drafting, that Nash is the only remaining guy since like 1999-2006 or so that is still with the team. They have had a top 10 pick like 10 years in the last 11, and they still manage to fuck it up every single year. The only draft pick they got right was the first overall and it was Nash.

The best thing for the Jackets to do would be to finish last, draft Nail Yakupov, and then try their hardest to get a second pick OR hope that Alex Galchenyuk falls out of the top 30 becase of his injury this year and take a sick chance on him. If Columbus had the chance to reunite those two, a lot of their problems could be solved. And with Galchenyuk out till playoff time this year, I would say the chances of him falling out of the top 30 are fairly good. He is already out of the top 10 in a month.

Lidstrom never stops. Got damn

I'm sure when the rest of your team decides to show up this season, you might make the playoffs.

Adding Yakupov will be nice but the defense and goaltending is so bad. Might be luckier for them to get the second pick and draft Ryan Murray. Idk. This team isn't a quick fix, so either player would be a good start.

BTW Couturier is so fun to watch.

Drew Doughty took the inevitable deflected puck to the face and now he's going to miss a few weeks. Could have been worse he could have lost his sight.

Oh wait he was wearing a visor like a fucking logical person so he's fine.

Connolly out 10-14 days. O/U on games played...I'll set it at 20.

I guess they will be seeing Joe Colbornes season debute soon.

Franzen with a hat trick and Cleary gets his 100th goal as a Red Wing.

 

[calgaryballer]

Another solid win for the Oilers
