I'm in love, and her name is Dylan Larkin.

 

[Train]

Great to see Zetterburg back in good form, haven't seen him this good in at least 2 or 3 years.

Abby has stepped up. Larkin is for realz.

Looking to be a great season. 9-0-2 so far if you count preseason games.

Datsyuk and Helm haven't even played yet. Hype train reaching full speed.

 

[KMFJD]

It's only been 3 games so far but Dylan Larkin has been very good for the Wings

 

[PingviN]

Ducks need to get some mean back into them, they're skating around being all cute. Time to get checkin'.

 

[Michael]

Ducks and Kimgs are doing worse than expected. Sharks doing quite well. But Arizona is doing way better so far.

In the East, Columbus is way underperforming expectations.

Michael

 

[Michael]

And my local team, the Sharks, also have started well. They are still undefeated. What a difference a goalie makes.

Michael

 

[Michael]

Habs continue rolling and go 6-0 besting the Wings. Wings were a little tired as they played yesterday.

Sharks lose against the Islanders. Back-up goalie just not good enough.

Michael

Oilers won! :awe:

Also, so happy to see Flames doing poorly this year as well.

 

[Michael]

Blue Jackets fired their coach.

0 and 7 is a rough start. It will be interesting to see how Tortorella plays here in Columbus.

Wish the Pens would have picked him up last year. Oh well, atleast least he's back. Makes for some interesting headlines.

 

[n7]

Poor 'Lumbus.

Torts lol, why...

If ANA fires Boudreau I will laugh even harder.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Blue Jackets fired their coach.

Michael

And picked up John Tortorella..... oh god.

 

[Michael]

I lived in Portland for a while and Mike Johnston was a pretty solid WHL coach and he did have NHL experience. Seems that the Pens have issues with goal tending and consistent performance by their stars. The second one can be helped by the right coach. Maybe.

The Habs went to 8-0-0.

Michael

 

[Michael]

And 9-0 Habs. Toronto played better but the Habs scored more.

Michael

 

[Michael]

Habs stopped at 9 by Vancouver. Miller far outplayed Price in that game.

Michael

 

[JujuFish]

The Sabres have gone L-L-W-L-L-W-L-L-W. So, I just need to tune in for every third game for maximum enjoyment per time committed, right?

 

[Train]

Fuck, Habs are +25

next closest team is 13

 

[MongGrel]

First 2 games for Wings were like polar opposites, but we still pulled out the W on both, so all that matters!

Damn you

Go Bolts!

 

[uclaLabrat]

Jake Allen played out of his mind tonight but the kings were lock down on defense. Really exciting game to watch, lots of great chances by both teams and some lights out saves by enroth and allen.

 

[Michael]

Habs keep finding ways to win. I'm a little worried, Bruins played them rough last game and they really have no one to respond, but they have two reliable goalies and all 4 lines are scoring.

Sharks are about as expected, a 50/50 club.

Michael

 

[JujuFish]

Rookie goalie Linus Ullmark has been decent for Buffalo. The Sabres have gone 3-1 since he took over as the starter.

6-8 may still put Buffalo near the bottom of the standings, but it's a huge step forward after taking 21 games last season and 27 the season before that to hit 6 wins.

 

[PingviN]

Ugh, following the Ducks is just plain painful. Nothing is working and it'd be a freaking miracle if this team makes it into the playoffs.

Panthers are doing well though

 

[Train]

Wings in 1st in the Atlantic, with 2 games in hand over MTL?

What is this madness?

 

[n7]

Wings in 1st in the Atlantic, with 2 games in hand over MTL?

What is this madness?

Panthers first now

Canadiens get Scrivens from the Oil for Kassian.
Not sure that will fix their issues, but I'm happy for Scrivens, as he's a great guy who deserves another shot in the NHL, something he wasn't likely going to get in Edmonton.

Oilers need real D, so badly. Will not get anywhere until then
