Title: NHL 2017-2018: Going the Distance
Post by: Tasty on September 18, 2017, 04:22:53 PM: Preseason starts today!

We got six years of Pasta baybee! :delicious :rejoice

Let's see what our old friend Claude Julien can do with the washed up Habs-beens. :hitler

Feeling oddly optimistic this year for the first time since... 2013? Change of leadership got us into the playoffs when our four best defensemen were out. Combined with last years' rookies growing into themselves, healthy veterans, and some common fucking sense not to over-use Rask for 80% of games like they did last year, we might be able to go the distance. :jawalrus

11-3-1 for the last 15. :rejoice This bounce-back brehs. :whew And we still haven't played a game at full health yet this season!

The rookies are finally coming into their own, veterans are acting like it, and Khudobin's been able to take a lot of pressure of Rask (his win last night was his first since Rask's return, while Rask hasn't lost a game since his return.)

Gonna be hard to keep momentum going until game 82 but goddamn we're looking solid after an absolutely crushing season opening.

While I love seeing them beaten down, Montreal is absolute trash this season so this doesn't really mean anything lol.

While we're on the topic of "sans <player>", we literally just shutout the top Atlantic team without:

- Chara (captain!)
- McAvoy (wunderkind)
- DeBrusk

Melinda Karlsson has filed an order of protection against the longtime girlfriend of Senators forward Mike Hoffman — alleging a campaign of harassment that plagued the Karlssons after the death of their son and through much of the last NHL season, this newspaper has learned.

Quote
“Monika Caryk has uttered numerous statements wishing my unborn child dead,” says Melinda Karlsson’s sworn statement to the court.

Erik Karlsson, too, was allegedly targeted.

“She also uttered that she wished I was dead and that someone should ‘take out’ my husband’s legs to ‘end his career.’

“Monika Caryk has posted over 1,000 negative and derogatory statements about me as a professional.”

The 2013 loss is not relevant. The only players left from the 2013 loss are Kadri and Gardiner, and none of the management group is left--thank god.

The worst signings yesterday/today:
Leo Komarov with the Islanders for 4 years at $3M AAV. He's 31, going on 41. He had 19 points, plays terrible D, and has some of the worst analytics in all of hockey. Somehow, he averaged about as much ice-time as Marner and Nylander. Dubas' second best move yesterday was not re-signing Komarov, so that Babcock doesn't get a chance to overplay him. Note: A coach if overplaying him if he isn't a healthy scratch.

James Neal for 5 years, $5.75M AAV with Calgary. He turns 31 before the season and is coming off of back-to-back 40-point seasons. Wingers like this never age well. Thought teams might have learned after the Lucic, Eriksson, and Ladd contracts.

Dishonorable mentions: Bozak and Roussel. The JVR and Stastny won't end well.
