NHL Regular Season 2014

    Can't see a thread for this, so here goes.

    Rangers played last night. Saw the brief highlights, have the full game recorded. More of the same, i.e. terrible offense. Not too bothered as it is only one game. We have a dreadful start to the season game wise with nothing but road games until October 28th.

    As for the season itself, I am hoping for a change in style under AV, to a more offensive style of hockey, a top six finish in the conference and a decent post season.

    Islanders @ Devils is on now. Should be interesting. Nice to have hockey back on a Friday.

    Watchin the Bruins v Red Wings game now, so great to have this type of game to look forward to, hope it's gonna be a cracker.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Good first period, 1-1, that Red Wings goal should not have stood. The puck hit a glove on the Red Wings bench just before that break.

    St.Luis Blues is the team may surprise this year.They will be black horse in the Western division.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭Lenmeister


    Meh can't see Blues getting anywhere to be honest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 bus.driver


    You'd be surprised.See LA how did they shocked all a few years back.

    Vancouver surprised me a while back, they're not supposed to make it past the 1st round!!

    I'm really excited to see if Torts can light a fire under the Canucks this year. The biggest criticism these past few years has been their perceived lack of intensity in the big games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    That Oilers Devils game last night was an epic, by the sounds of things. I'm flying out to Boston/Pittsburgh tomorrow, taking in two games in each city. Both teams unbeaten at this early stage. Penguins have looked good from what I've seen of their two games, but haven't caught much of the Bruins so far.

    We switched coaches and we are both excited. I think Torts will bring more of a competitive edge to you but he is far happier winning games by 2-0 as opposed to 4-1. He loves his shutouts. Fans find that frustrating.

    I can't wait to see what AV will do with us. Loads of apparent offensive talent in our ranks and I think (hope) he will get the best from them. Good win last night against the Kings. Tough place to go, so I am very happy with that result.

    Scandalous performance. AV's reign could be very, very short if we have another performance like that. I checked a few sites to make sure the score wasn't an error when I saw it this morning.

    Lol, as I type, I just got a mail from the Rangers official site with the heading, "Rangers Look to Regroup Against Anaheim". Understatement of the year there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 419 ✭✭scottmcb04


    Rangers making a balls of things again tonight! How long are they going to give AV after these 2 performances! 15 goals allowed in 2 games(so far)


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 bus.driver


    They miss Gaborik.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭Lenmeister


    lol... I can see every hockey website around now "New York Epic Failers"

    In 5 periods of hockey to be exact. Scandalous stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    Great having a bit of hockey on at an early time.

    Boston @Columbus on Setanta 1.

    1-0 Blue Jackets.

    They are such an improved side after the joke of the last few years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Nice win for the Bruins there. 3-1, although one of those goals was when the Columbus pulled their goalie.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭Lenmeister


    How are Columbus these days I always remember them to be pretty crap.

    Progressing nicely. Play off spot contenders this season.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Frankie5Angels


    Boston @Columbus on Setanta 1.

    Is there anywhere other than Setanta 1 to watch games?


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 bus.driver


    Plenty of options on Internet.

    Try the NHL game centre. Excellent level of coverage on it. Plenty of the posters on here use it.

    Rangers season isn't starting off too well for them. They can do so much better.

    The ducks are bringing back the mighty ducks jersey for tonight

    Come on the capitals.

    I'm new to the sport and cant believe I haven't tuned in sooner. It's brilliant. I've picked myself a team and all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭Lenmeister


    Who? Edmonton? ^^

    Myp2p website is where I watch everything.

    Welcome. It is a very addictive sport. Massive game tonight. Personal I think we, NY, need to win this game. It is a massive for us. LGR!!

    EDIT : Great win for the Rangers last night and a SO, as a bonus. On the negative side, Cally is out with a broken thumb. Will be sidelined for the next few weeks.

    NJD a big disappointment so far this season. I was looking forward to watch the performance of Jagr but it's not what i could expect from him.

    I think and hope it'll click for them eventually. Offense isn't the issue anyway, our veteran D-men have been awful and DeBoer has some fetish for dressing them and scratching one of Fayne or Larsson instead. VOlchenkov has been a liability for us.

    A win against the Rangers tonight is really needed to boost morale.

    I dunno, you have lost some serious attacking power over the last few years. As for tonight, we need to push on from our performance at Washington. Another win would be great. SO would be a bonus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Awful stuff last night. Embarrassing against a winless Devils team.

    Anyway, Marty Biron has announced his retirement. Link

    Not let's watch to see how Sather wastes this money ......

    Great win for Boston against The Sharks, goal in last few seconds to win game.
    Not a great performance based on the 11 minutes highlights i saw but Tukka was fantastic!, lets go Bruins!! :)

    Surprised they won that one to be honest. The sharks are playing really well. The Bruins have a nice run going now, as a result.

    Anyone see the incident in the Flyers v Caps game last night. Absolutely disgusted by the actions of Emery, totally classless and ðesevres suspension for the rest of the season.

    I'm all for chuckin knuckles, but to hunt down a player who clearly doesn't want to fight, and even keep punching when the guy is down, is out of order.

    I watched the highlights after i read your post, i suppose i agree, the fighting is fun to watch but what Emery did was pointless and probably done out of frustration( no excuse though) They were being hammered by the caps. Bit of entertainment for the flyers fans though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Fail to see the logic in that fight. If only Emery showed as much passion between the pipes. He was dreadful last night, only came on in the 2nd period. He played really well last season for the Chicago but hasn't settled at the Flyers, just like every other goalie over the past few years. I watched most of that game but I switched it off when it turned into a hammering for the flyers.

    Bahahaha. Love that they gave Emery the third star with a save percentage of .733! Flyers are a joke this year.

    Says it all about the Flyers D, they can't all be bad goalies. Emery was amazing last season and would kill to have him back in Chicago instead of that sieve Khabibulin. Crawford is going to see way more ice time than he needs.

    Pavel Bure's jersey retirement was the second most overdue occasion in Canucks franchise history. Great to see it last night. HNIC pointed out that the game after was more Gino Odjick than Pavel Bure, but it's always good to thump the Leafs.

    Kassian is going to get Shannabanned pretty hard, but other than that, only positives.

    Luongo has really turned it around too:
    First 5: 2-3-0 0.897SV% 3.19GAA
    Last 8: 6-1-1 0.940SV% 1.84GAA

    I'm interested but it depends on work etc.

    Gutted with that loss last night. Felt really confident that we were going to keep that small streak going given that the game was on home ice. Difficult game against the Pens next before we hit the road again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,061 ✭✭✭✭cena


    The week day games don't suit me at all. The ducks are doing well so far. Could we make it to the Stanley cup finals?

    The 3 California teams, Phoenix and Vancouver in one division is crazy competitive. I think it'll hurt all of them come playoff time.

    Two beauties from the Stars - Red Wings game last night.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,711 ✭✭✭Waitsian


    A hell of a goal from Kessel tonite.
