Thought so. Seems that what happened today was just a matter of time then.

Another rough game on the dot for McDavid. Only 3 for 9 currently. But Eichel's not blowing the doors off either, he was 5 for 12 yesterday.

We can all hope you're right, but what in EJs history leads one to believe this? And please don't say preseason when he was mostly playing vs 3rd stringers. Jax isn't as bad as they used to be either, certainly no pushover. Remember Nashville was supposed to be easy too and we should have lost that game

I know we we nowhere near perfect in our 3 games, but damn did we look a hell of a lot more organized than Edmonton does.


- HonkFortheGoose

aside from the last 21 minutes of the bolt game, I thought they looked pretty good the last 2 games


I am curious to see how they play on the road, if they play less uptight

I think Quick is just Cam Ward 10 years later. Had one amazing year including the playoffs that won the Kings the cup, but has been pretty average since on some very good teams. Certainly not the best goalie other than Price like a lot of people have been saying since that first cup. The second cup he had a 2.58 gaa and a .911 SV%, those are not stellar numbers. He gets pulled a lot more than average; maybe it's just Sutter's style to yank his goalie if he's having a rough game I don't know, but he wasn't great in the Olympics last time out for a team that was supposed to compete for gold again with a 2.17 and a .923. Compared to Miller's 1.35 .946 numbers in his Olympics. Also interestingly enough both goalies have a career regular season .915 SV%. Miller's GAA is a bit higher at 2.59(with 2 awful seasons from '12-'14 where he was 32-39-8) to Quick's 2.27, but I'd hardly say that the teams in front of Miller qualify as "defense first" the way the Kings do. Miller also has a better career win% at .534 to Quck's .521, so either Ryan Miller is way better than people give him credit for or Quick is a lot worse.

For the most part, he's played well in relief of Lehner. In 2.5 games, he's allowed 7 goals, and 3 of the 4 Tampa scored he was screened on and had no chance. If the team can play full games like they played the final 40 minutes against Columbus and he plays like has the last 2 games, they should be just fine.

I still want to see what Lieuwen can do too.

if we keep johnson we will need to make sure the defenders are ready to deal with errant rebounds and lock up the opposing team after every shot.

That Panther drive was more Fred Jackson and Keuchly's dumbassery. Manuel checked down to Jackson pretty much that entire drive, something many of us (rightly) hammered on Trent Edwards for. Fortunately, Ron Rivera had one of the worst coaching games in his career.

I have been brutal as well

it's like I flush $10 down the drain each night

not even close either

I stopped doing big entries, seems people put in 100 teams, on the big double ups

cash out price seems to be around 40, I have some players doing well and I still only get around 20 points

One day hockey leagues are harder than one day football leagues, that is for sure. I have bombed at all of them. 25 points ish normally and not even close to the money.

If you didn't have Spezza last night, you lost.

who knows, maybe it's smokescreen

I was doing the smaller groups of double ups 100 or so people where it's single entry


still tough

you need 7 out of your 9 guys clicking to sniff the money, from what I have seen, even in a double up
