You knew they would come out strong. Isles had won 9 in a row but just lost their Captain. They still came back from a 3 goal deficit. Also missing Dobson who has been playing really well. Its not like they are 1 and 6 over their last 7.
Not as ugly as the Ranger game but close. Isles could easily have scored 3 or 4 more. Monday should be interesting.
I was listening to hockey radio on Sirius and they were making fun of Buffalo. Apparently in the rankings the Kracken are rated above them.
Sabres have been bad since Pat LaFontaine went out with head injures...when was that--late in the 1990's? I see it's not really that bad, as they went to the playoffs in 2010, and actually won a series or two in 2005. But, they have perennially terrible.
Flyers look like they just finished a tough series with Isles. Hart has looked terrible most of the time I have seen him but to be fair the defense has also been lacking. Elliot looked good last game but Sorokin is the real deal. He gives up some rebounds but in Trotz's system he has been rock solid since a terrible emergency start when Varly got hurt in warmups. I'm sorry but the Stars black uni's with lime green trim is ugly.
Saw every post in the thread tonight, and the end of the 2nd period of the Flyer loss when they gave away two more goals. I agree the schedule is a grind and that the Flyers were tired. Saw some poor passing. Saw the standings.
I saw that on facebook and I was listening to sports radio on my way home. Apparently he was retiring after this year anyway. WHat a dumbass.Ref banned for dubious comment made about issuing a weak penalty last night.

Lots of other good articles in that link also, such as Montreal postponing 4 games this week due to Covid, the first of the season for the North division.Ref banned for dubious comment made about issuing a weak penalty last night.

My condolences.
We could use some offense. Selling?
For....saying the quiet part out loud?
Pretty much. Even if you think a team deserves a make up call you don't shout it into a live mike. Also it would be nice to see a game called by the rules, cross checking is a joke.
I'm shocked with the way Hart has been playing lately - seems, ever sense his name came up as Canada's likely starting goalie in next year's Olympics he's gone bad - of course, Billington, Canada's second choice, has also gone bad - now the talk is back to Price - God help us!!
Hockey is too expensive these days for many families, here in Canada as well - the cost of equipment and ice time is prohibitive for many. Unlike soccer and basketball, you can't just throw a puck out and let kids have fun running around. Lots of businesses and other groups help defray the costs, but a family can look to spend $5,000 and up a year just to get their kid in a league - and then, if you add in tournaments, etc. you could easily double that.
To my knowledge the wild have not had a single home game that was not sold out...
When you have the US/Canada border closed and quarantines in place, it's impossible for the North division to play anything other than interdivisional games here in Canada - as a result, all divisions have only interdivisional games. Gets tiring seeing the same old same old all the time and I hate the three games in a row series with the same team outside of the playoffs. But it's better than nothing!
