5 from 13 now!

First time in nearly 3 years that the Leafs have been shutout

The slogan for Toronto this year is play every game likes it’s game 7.
So are they going to go 0-82??

Cracking finish happening here.

We missed an empty net chance to end it, Nucks take it back and Miller scores.

5-5, looks like OT

YES!! Flames in OT. What an unlikely win.

And the Oilers got thumped. Couldn’t ask for a better start.

Horrid P2 from Wings, let in 4 should prob have been 5.

Forgettable first game of season

Pengs would have been stung by 0-6 loss yesterday that said

Big day of hockey yesterday, 14 games. Geez, the “Utah Hockey Club” have started well.

But today is Battle of Alberta day!

Heading into this game:

  • Flames are 2-0, Oilers 0-2.
  • Flames 12 goals for the year, Oilers 2
  • Huberdeau 5 points, McDavid 1 point.

It’s a bizarro world situation that won’t last long (might get blown away today) but I’m going to enjoy it for the brief time it lasts.

There’s gonna be some proper niggle in this game, I’m expecting quite a few fights.

I’m loving hockey being back.

4 days in and no one has mentioned Ovechkin.

How many does he get this year?
Does he get to the record before the end of next season when his contract expires?

41 to equal.
I don’t think we will be good enough as a group to get him to 41 goals this season. Reckon he probably will get 30-35 this season and then pass it the following season.
If he manages to pass it this season I’d say he will retire from the league

I’m predicting his first major injury then 15-20 goals making next year and hence the record on a knifes edge.

In that case he will sign another season with us and hopefully get the handful of goals required. Once he breaks the record he will retire.

That I agree on.

I’m hoping he gets it next year. Would be dreadful if he is a handful of goals short and needs to come back for another season.

Good to see the old Yotes off to a flyer in Utah

Kellers OT goal was sweet yesterday

Watched Arizona a lot last season after having seen the NHL exhibition game in Melb.

Pleasantly surprised Wings bounced back so well from Pengs loss to do over Pred 3-0, Talbot with a 40+ shot shut out game. Will be a great acquisition
