2017-2018 NHL Thread - No Three-peat

[phillyb™]

11 games into the season and the Rangers have three wins. The sky is falling, trade everyone, fire AV, and rebuild from the ground up.

How's life in Penguinsville @Bryan?

Who woulda thought the Atlantic would come out screaming? If TBL, particularly Stamkos stays healthy this year, they could definitely be a contender again. Dude has 21 points in 11 games and he's coupled with Kucherov who already has 12 goals in 11 games. Fuck.

I love that the Habs are struggling. I hate that EDM is struggling. The Rangers, as previously mentioned, are pretty bad.

LAK are winning.
VGK = awesome. Best franchise in the league. I really hope their existence helps move the NHL forward. VGK are fun. The NHL is not. lol.

What else is going on?
All the fucking hat tricks.
What else?

I think this is Hank's last year. Just a guess. Caps suck, Yotes are historically bad, and we may legitimately be planning a 2nd round parade for the freaking Leafs.

Murray is sadly finding out about how much the Pens love to hang their backstops out to dry, and Niemi...well...

[Bryan]

Dude...TBL is freaking scary.

[phillyb™]

Niemi lol. I don't think he got picked up on waivers, did he? So he's in Wilkes-Barre?
I kinda regret not going to WBS games when I lived over there. Oh well. I made it to Allentown for a Phantoms/Wolf Pack game. HAR won on an OT winner by Oscar Lindberg (lovin me some VGK).

Toronto is awesome.

Panthers got him.

...to back up Lu and Reimer. Interesting. According to their roster listed on the NHL site, that'd put them over the roster limit of 23.

But idk.

I'm doing fantasy for the first time this season. It's fun. My team is ok...Carey Price is fucking me over

[Bryan]

Ouch...your goalie situation is going to absolutely kill you. Any chance Valarmov is available?

[phillyb™]

Picked up Hellebuyk. Fuckin Price is still killing me simply because he's on fucking IR meow. I hate Carey Price and that was my only auto-pick...my first fucking pick cause I was late. hahahah.

Hellebuyk and the Jets aren't looking too bad, honestly. You could do worse.

Pens 5v5 scoring is a freaking dumpster fire. If it weren't for the PP, they wouldn't score at all :(

[phillyb™]

Good, fuck the Pens.

[Bryan]

Good, fuck the Pens.

They're up 3-1 on the Yotes right meow.

[phillyb™]

Congrats on taking a lead against the worst team in the league.

[phillyb™]

EVEN THE RANGERS BEAT THE YOTES!

[Bryan]

Honestly, the bottom's gotta fall out sooner or later. Crosby has looked a bit off lately.

[phillyb™]

I went to Hawks/Rags the other night, twas fun, but I hate seeing the Rangers lose.
Gotta get back on tonight and WIN!

[Bryan]

Crosby finally scored. Team Oily Matters is doing pretty well in the Soft Dump fantasy league this year :D
