2 active NHL players with 800 career points without a cup ring - signed for next season. 1 of them has 0 cup final appearances

Any guess who these players are?

edit: which player will have more points this year?

The coaching staff have gone out of their way to establish the top 3 forward lines and the top 2 D pairings in pre-season. There has been a focus on not pushing players too hard. Also, the additions of Debrincat, Giroux, Pinto and Sanderson are huge and will help them make huge gains this year. The team should get off to a solid start, even with the current coaching staff.

Unlike last year, opposition teams will be starting their #1 goaltenders and taking the team much more seriously. So fewer easy wins for them this year.

I will consider this year to be a success if they make the playoffs and a failure if they are out of the playoffs race before March.

Pregame ceremony in Montreal. Class act.

Sense the crowd not fully engaged. Maybe they are expecting long season.

So, happy to have hockey back, really pumped for season.

It's so comical how Friedman is praising Matt Murray for making 8 saves in the first period! What a joke that panel is.

I wrote about it last year, the amount of times the Sens got back up goalies and in some cases 3rd string goalie....like you said, they arent going to facing many back up goalies this year, that will play a huge role in their results. Agree with you on what you consider success or failure this year.

Gallagher looks like his game has regressed. Really struggled second half of last season. No better tonight.

Murray in fine form tonight. (Leafs hung him out to dry on 3 goals and one was an unlucky bounce... but still).

I don't know what Muzzin was doing this game.
