Heaven forbid your not Ok with girgs.

Hope he doesn't get stuck at 7 goals and play hard every night in a defensive role.

How's your boy erod doing?
The guy that is supposed to put up points?

- Boss34


He has more points than Girgensons....

On pace for 29p over 82

Btw, did you skip the part where I said I'm cool with Girgs? If he can score 8-10, I think he's made a case this year

Mock Expansion Drafts have either him or Asplund being picked by Seattle.
You may have to wait 3 years to get your wish, lol!

I guess it's the recent change of heart that throws me off a bit.

Thousands of posts hating on 22 and 28.

1 post clears it all up.

One guy is 19 the other 25?

Never mind the nhl experience going into this season.

Hockey is just about scoring points. Nothing else

T.J. Oshie had 47 points in 74 games last year

only won the cup

but please continue

- homiedclown


Ah yes, the points.

Oshie plays the game far harder than the Tin-Man Samantha. Fights, Hits, does whatever it takes to win.

Reinhart... maybe we'll see him get mad someday. I did see him get excited once: when he scored on his hometown team earlier this season. That was nice.

Regardless of the stat line - CM plays the game right and will only get better; also don't see him making the glaring mistakes Erod does.

And I like Erod.. he's just been awful this year.

Phil Kessel and Kane each have three..... Kuznetsov had the most points in an entire playoff in some time. Ovechkin is the greatest LW of his generation. Backstrom is a magician. Reinhart would be the 7th or 8th most important player on Washington, Toronto, or Tampa’s roster right now.

Couple of great articles on Twitter @buffalosabres.

Wish I could attach them.

Pilut thanking the pegulas for hosting his entire family.
Probably kim meddling again.

Risto joking with dahlin, changed his attitude and made him laugh.
Probably a 2 pairing defender at best

Eichel - "dahlin doesn't even know good he is"
Eichel isn't captain material and is overpaid

Clearly I'm joking , but homie and others have tried to tell me otherwise

They took advantage of the opportunity, so they deserve credit. All I want is for them to score goals. Just score. All of my "hate posts" relate to them not scoring when given ample ice time. So, yeah, I'm pumped. They finally scored, and Girgensons did so in emphatic 2014 fashion.

Just show up and produce a point more than once a month That's what I'm looking for. Literally all I want them to do is produce. They are given a lot of opportunity for a "4th line." In fact, they we're rewarded with plenty of O zone draws last night, and they 100% deserve it. Credit where it's due, they played a nice game.

Can they continue to show up? I hope so

Coyotes moving to Houston?Rockets owner met with Gary Bettman about it. Had preliminary talks about buying and relocating them.

How does Dallas do in that area? Would another team in TX be any better than Arizona?

- CoHo_to_B-Lo


I don't think it would be a problem. They're far enough away from each other with more than enough people, 14M in the 2 metro areas. The problem would be drawing said people. It's been tough enough in Arizona, and Phoenix has the 11th most people(metro area) in the country(Houston is 5, Dallas-Fort Worth is 4). Going back to 15-16 Dallas has sold between 97.7% and 99.2% of their home games and they haven't exactly been world beaters. So the demand is there. Arizona has been 76.2%-79.9%. Houston's demographics are different though. There is some serious money in the burbs. Houston has 4 of Texas' 10 wealthiest communities 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th. There would be worse places to move a team.

kessel was not on the first line though

which is it, because williams and brown only put up like 50 point in the cup years for the kings on the top line


I love how the kid is putting up 70 point clip this season and the hate continutes


he does have more points in the last 18 games then any other player in his draft class


but keep it coming

Hasn't erod been equally disappointing?

With less excuses.

Trying to adjust to the nhl as a 19 year old kid.

I certainly expected more out of mitts though

Lots of negative Surrounding Casey which is understandable but he’s learning every game and will only get better each game I wouldn’t be surprised if he Got his batteries recharged by going back to his home and seeing family and having a Very successful second half

Eichel is very insightful and thoughtful in his post-game interviews.. Great captain material.
