Well, not sure they can sack another coach this year.

The meme going around is that McDavid’s peewee coach must be next cab off the rank.

I thought they would come out and destroy this season.

I think as their odds blowout I’ll jump on.

Certainly worth a punt.

Although, losing in game 7 of a cup can go both ways. It can drive you on the next year… or it can break you entirely.

Interesting to see which way they go. Can’t rule out any side with McDavid and Draisaitl on it, although both looked very sluggish today.

Watch their season go to ■■■■, McDavid ask for a trade at the same time Mark Stone goes on IR and vegas picks him up for the equivalent of a packet of chips cos nobody else can afford his contract.

Their cap is going to be a real talking point over the next few years.

Draisaitl’s next deal starts next year, at $14m. Mcdavid has one more after this, then he’s going to want close to $15m.

Bouchard is RFA next year, so they’ll have to pay him close to $10m. Nurse is still on $9m for another 3 after this one. They are still paying out Jack Campbell at $2.5m a year. That’s over $50m already.

Not sure how they manage to get enough good players around the guns. They really need to go all in this year.

But yes, with Vegas putting half the cap on IR, they’ll be able to swoop in!

And if the Edmonton owners have any sense of theatre they sell McDavid to the Kings in the off season :wink:

Imagine the return you could get for him.

My Caps are surprisingly me early in the season. Dropped the first game of the season but won 3 on the bounce now including a 6-5 corker against the Devs today. That was the Devs 8th game and our 4th and that was the second time we have played them already. Ovi tallied for the first time but Tommy scored his 5th goal and has scored in every game so far

That one hurt as a Devs fan, we busted arse to get to OT. Hell of a game and glad to grab a point at least.

Devs have had a crazy schedule to start, think they will appreciate the little rest. We should have Luke Hughes back soon thankfully, missing a few defenders has hurt.

Wings with a solid win over the unexpectedly battling Preds. Nice start to my Sunday

Watched most of Leafs v Rangers, the latter just too good. Nigh on impossible to get it past Shesterkin.

And nice to see Utah beat the Bruins, sweet late goal to level it and then knock em’ over in OT. Terrific start to season for the “new” team

Caps 2-0 up in the first at Philly thanks to a pair of shorties

All 32 teams playing today.

I can’t imagine what sort of day The Hockey Guy is going to have trying to cover all 16 games.

Another Mang goal.

How’s he looking? What line is he on?

Been solid, most playing 3rd line

Caps have started the season very well and Ovi is scoring.

Looking good for an assault on the record.

Very happy to flog those arseclowns on back to back nights.
At 4-0 in the second we should’ve buried rather than let them get back into it and give me a few nervy moments

Just a casual 6-0-0 start to the season for the Jets!

Flames finally drop one in regulation time.

Damn those Hurricanes are quick!

Looking forward to facing the undefeated Jets on the weekend, should be a huge game.
