Eco Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Discuss all things relating to the NHL here. Biggest surprise thus far has to be the newcombers, Vegas Golden Knights, who are currently on top of the Pacific and by a wide margin. They are just 2 points behind Tampa Bay for having the most points in the entire league. RIght now my Blackhawks are not sitting pretty. With Crawford out, and just not playing well, they are currently out of the playoff picture, however we have just a little less than half a season remaining.

Moderator Tommy Posted February 20, 2018 Moderator Posted February 20, 2018 So the Red Wings traded Petr Mrazek to the Flyers... fuck Ah well, love me some good ol' Jimmy Howard.
Guest Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Just subscribed to premier sports so I can watch the NHL

Moderator Tommy Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Posted March 22, 2018 It's one of my biggest dreams to see the Red Wings live one day. Although I'm a bit skeptical about visiting Detroit

Moderator Tommy Posted March 31, 2018 Moderator Posted March 31, 2018 This is one of the most amazing sports moments I've ever seen.

Apparently he plays in a "Beer League", and used to play seriously when he was younger. He's at the stadium at every game waiting to be put on if they need him, for either team, which usually rarely happens. But yea, more or less What an amazing story though.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 10, 2018 Subscriber Posted April 10, 2018 Sad to see the Sedins go but the timing and everything makes sense. It was really emotional to watch their last game at home on thursday, great players and even better people. It almost signals the end of an era, they where the last remaining faces from the 2011 team (Edler doesnt count) so its time to turn the page. This one means a little more to me as I grew up watching them from the very begining; when they entered the league at 19 years old. Anyways the two of them are sure fire hall of famers and class acts, Ill look forward to their jersey retirement next season.
Guest Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Amazing atmosphere at the play offs. @Tommy I'm new to NHL. Do the teams play other teams in the same conference then whoever gets through play in the national?

Guest Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 I've noticed that the play off games are tighter. Watched a bit of the Swedish league. After watching the NHL it's like watching the premier league then watching Sunday league
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted May 31, 2018 Subscriber Posted May 31, 2018 One hell of a playoffs thus far and the finals hasnt disappointed through the first two games. This was the Holtby save from last night; Cap's where up 3-2 with about 2 mins to go. https://streamable.com/r4epy
Eco Posted June 5, 2018 Author Posted June 5, 2018 Still haven't watched 10 minutes of NHL playoffs, but I'm happy to see the Caps on the brink of winning it. Ovi deserves it a title.

After watching the NHL it's like watching the premier league then watching Sunday league A lot of leagues outside of NA have more hitting and more concussion related injuries because enforcing is completely banned. So a player can practically kill another without repercussion. The NHL is going that way as well, Crosby wouldn't have a single concussion if he played in the 80s, despite the fact the sport was 'more violent' then; just because a goon would knock a motherfucker out if they touched their star player.

'Caps forecheck is too strong for Vegas', that is what it has come down to.

Vegas also looks like a bunch of whiney snots.
El Profesor Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Ovi is a champion! Yes! Will the Stanley Cup and Ovi be at the World Cup opening?
Eco Posted June 8, 2018 Author Posted June 8, 2018 I am so happy for Ovi. Been there since 2004, and has suffered through a lot of pain. Often compared to Sid the Kid due to them being such massive prodigies at young ages and being drafted only a year apart. He couldn't stop smiling last night. Kudos to you Alex
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted June 8, 2018 Subscriber Posted June 8, 2018 It was great to watch one of the greats finally earn the cup. Happy for Backstrom as well, hes been there nearly as long and probably one of the most under the radar stars in the league. I dont think you can take that smile off Ovi's face. Also Bryzgalov in vegas is a great little video, the guy is quite the character; https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/videos/bryz-heads-to-las-vegas
El Profesor Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Almost 48 hours after the title and Ovi is still out there drinking. What a legend.
