Trolls love an audience... If you ignore it, it doesn't exist.

Feeling pretty generous today eh? If May led his team anywhere it was to the booze in the locker room after the Cup.

No one is blaming the Penguins for doing it... leave Marty alone.

While I had hoped Housley would just name Eichel the captain it didn't happen. So what I hope for now is that part way into the season the teams or the other A's on the team approach Phil and suggest that they give Eichel the C. I think that would be awesome. Housley gave the team his short list.. let the players decide.

I'll miss a good portion of this game off at youth hockey. Go Sabres. I think the Moulson for Nolan allows Housley the flexibility to flip Moulson and Pouliot if need be. He knows what he has in Nolan. If Pouliot isn't performing then I would suspect Moulson bumps up and Pouliot slots down and then ends up sitting next game. Hopefully they come out flying again and take it to the Islanders. Lots of big scores early on in the NHL, be nice for the Sabres to have one (in for GF column).

Whereas... in the NFL.. the game captains rotate on a weekly basis. I think it's much ado about nothing. Should Eichel be captain? Absolutely. But they want to hold off... so be it.

Is the soldier also in on poorly attempting to market Tim Hortons like Duffer and Biron were?

Or Toronto who has all alternates.. or Carolina who has a road C and a home C who are not the same people. Making a big deal out of nothing. Eichel will eventually get the C because no one ever pays a guy that much money on any team and does not give him the C. It's that simple... they all know it. And even if someone else is a better leader they will still be a leader on the team without the C.

Lehner still sucks at the shootout

Oh no... No no no no no that did not just happen.

Opening night... There should not be this many Habs fans in the building.

This is the kind of pace that creates problems for the opposition in the second period.

Phil Housley says play with attitude. Risto hears you Phil.

Zemgus is going to get an illegal equipment penalty for that visor...

Oh no freaking way!

Thanks. More PP.

Please let me watch this PP unit all season long.

Right in the body area... Yea... Body alright.

Let's hope the Sabers perform better than the production crew and anthem singer. Eeesh.

No more words. Drop the puck and score.

Every time Josie contributes a drawing to a thread it's a mic drop moment. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Fan-friggin-tastic work.

There are some gems in there... "The Habs are a crappy restaurant that swears it’s classy because it puts more emphasis on employees speaking French than knowing how to prepare the food." "If every team in the NHL were a ride at Disney, the Ottawa Senators are the Hall of Presidents when only the Jimmy Carter robot is working" "Because when you want to teach a young core about winning in the playoffs, you turn to a San Jose Shark that choked so badly for so long they stripped him of the captaincy"

Not a good option if you have performance issue concerns...

Ummmm... bring it.

Hey.. I was shown the headline last night in the middle of our youth baseball board meeting and I certainly interrupted it with my outburst. :) I'm pretty jacked about the contract.. I had just assumed all along it was going to play out this way.
