NHL Regular Season 2014-2015

A new season is upon us. Thoughts and rants in here. As a Ranger, I cannot wait for the fun to commence. Really looking forward to the season ahead after our exploits last year.

smackbunnybaby · 05-10-2014 8:10pm

Looking forward to the season ahead as well, and see how some of the new players fit in at Pittsburgh.
Different looking D from last year.

scottmcb04 · 05-10-2014 10:26pm

really looking forward to this year for some reason...

cant see the west being much different, LA and blackhawks (but anahiem and San Jose might do something this year, the rest are all alsorans imo)

cant really predict the east at all... not even going to hazard a guess!

BonnieSituation · 09-10-2014 2:26am

As a Leaf I have already gone through the 5 steps and it's only have the first 40min of hockey this season:

1. Denial and Isolation
This is our year. Surely. One year it will be our year... but this HAS to be it! I'll just watch this here game online on my own.

2. Anger
**** you Max Pacioretty. **** you Montreal!

3. Bargaining
Please let Price get injured in this game and play a stormer in every other.

4. Depression
Eugh. 2-2. Another lead let slip. What's the point in carrying on with this illusion.

5. Acceptance.
Sure. What harm. We've been here before. We'll be here again. 2015/2016 is our year.

Heard to see anyone outside of the Western Conference doing anything I'd also throw the Avs into your list as well.

I would LOVE San Jose to do something this year. I have a huge horn for Tommy Hertl. Cracking player.

I was living in Canada for the playoffs and The Sharks and Tampa Bay quickly became my second teams.

Only TB, NYR(jammily), 'Canes and Boston for me in the East. But again, absolutely moot considering the mental strength of the Western teams.

Go Jets Go!!

Nice win for the hawks last night, always nice to get the season started with a win. Sitting in the airport now heading off to Chicago for a few games. Definitely have tickets for the Nashville game next Saturday and still working on getting some for the Calgary and Philly games. Can't get any for the home opener tomorrow for love nor money so will have to make do with watching it in a bar.

Berserker · 10-10-2014 12:23pm

Good win for the Rangers last night to kick off the season. Jackets up next on Saturday.

BonnieSituation · 10-10-2014 2:43pm

The Sharks were absolutely brilliant against the Kings. For me the team to beat.

Big call there. I'll hold you to that. One game gone in the season.

The Pens were brilliant at times last night in front of the goal, particularly in the first period but the 'D' looked shaky. I always watch them with interest as I consider them to be the yardstick in the East.

GvidoR · 11-10-2014 11:58pm

Hopefully Sabres will do better this year!

This goal was nice.

Thought the score line flattered the hawks tonight. They were terrible for the first two periods tonight but turned it on in the final period. The bar I watched the game in Chicago was so flat even at the end. Still it's two games and two wins even though the played poorly in both.

sketchpad · 12-10-2014 11:22am

Nice show of grit by Vancouver last night to come back from 2-0 and 4-2 down. Oilers are awful at the back though.

scottmcb04 · 12-10-2014 6:19pm

watched a lot of hockey yday(have free gamecentre with my mobile contract til the new year), this was the highlight, some save!

Well, game 2 is certainly showing them to be starting well.

I just think on balance and how they ended last season plus the play off games v LA that they are gonna take it up a notch this year. But I am completely biased no matter what happens.

Saw it in real time but didn't see the replay in slow motion. That was great.

Gamecenter via the xbox freezes for a couple of seconds after each goal. Anyone having this problem?

Was watching this yesterday evening on Setanta. You could see the Avs sneaking the win alright and they hit the post a few seconds before that.

BonnieSituation · 14-10-2014 6:47pm

That Lightning result against the perfidious Habs certainly warmed the cockles.

Stamkos was on fire. With Bishop playing well I think we've got a live contender here {prob stating the obvious

}

BonnieSituation · 15-10-2014 10:36pm

6-5? The Sharks! What the hell loike! I went asleep and it was 3-0!

Berserker · 16-10-2014 1:30am

Watching the Bruins v Red Wings. Both seems to be shaky at the back.

Ryan Callahan's goal was very nice also... hope they do do well, have some lovely players...

Berserker · 16-10-2014 2:12am

Serious intensity to the Bruins play this evening. The Red Wings have only had 7 shots on goal so far and it's the 2nd period.

Just home from the hawks game. Ridiculous the amount of chances we had tonight and still lost. Crawford was amazing tonight though, he made some very important stops towards the end. You get night's like this though. Bring on Nashville on Saturday, have tickets for that game too so can't wait.

BonnieSituation · 16-10-2014 10:23am

Anybody in a pool on Pickuphockey.com?

I have one going with some mates in Canada but would like to set one up for Boards if there were some heads on here interested and already have a team?

What is the format of the league like? I am in our own yahoo fantasy league but would be interested if others are.

I have Hiller in my fantasy team. Looking at the stats he had an amazing game. Always liked him as a goal tender but was/am worried as to whether he would/will get enough wins with that Flames team.

He really had a great game but the Hawks where so wasteful in front of goal. Hopefully it was just one of those nights.

It wasn't a great game though. Only 1 goal throughout the whole game.
It was 1 of 3 shutouts last night.

Ah just the initial fact that it was the Sabres and the Panthers. Even writing their names out I lose the will to live. Glad to hear it was a good one though.

Sabres are in the middle of rebuilding their team. True, their last season was awful, but I'm hoping they'll do better this year.

I didn't say it was a great game, mainly because, well... it wasn't.

I actually read your "wasn't" as "was". Oops. I have no real interest in the sabres exploits tbh. They just sit their floating.

aaronm13 · 19-10-2014 3:59am

We're going to overtime here at the United center. Hawks have been terrible but Crawford has been phenomenal. He's made at least 4 genuine goal scoring chances.

aaronm13 · 19-10-2014 4:37am

Really stole that game but glad for Toews, hopfully that's the monkey off his back.

BonnieSituation · 19-10-2014 2:38pm

I wish Paddy would get his scoring boots on.

Typical Leafs at the ACC last night. Went to bed in a fouler. I'm getting so tired of Phaneuf.

stuchyg · 19-10-2014 8:52pm

anyone have any trial codes for gamecentre, just wanna be sure it runs well on my now tv before i pay out

Good win for the flames against the jets

Watched that game last night and the Jets dominated the first period. The Flames were lucky to be only down by one at that point. Hiller made some great saves. The Flames looked like a completely different team in the second and third periods and they went on to deservedly win the game.

In other news, an excellent 4-0 win for the Rangers against a very tired looking Sharks team. Nash is on fire at the moment and I think he is the leading scorer in the league now. Some sloppy defending by the Sharks for some of the goals, the second and third in particular.

GvidoR · 20-10-2014 11:56am

2 goals in 4 seconds and a shut-out for the Rangers last night.

scottmcb04 · 22-10-2014 4:42am

Watched the lightnings last two games against Edmonton and Calgary and Drouin looks really good, serious handler of the puck, looks unbelievably comfortable for a lad playing in his first nhl games! got his first point tonight and was denied a gwg in ot by a very good save!

BonnieSituation · 22-10-2014 3:22pm

And then we win 5-2. Gotta love the inconsistency of the Leafs.

aaronm13 · 22-10-2014 5:23pm

Great win for the Hawks last night pity I couldn't get tickets for it so had to make do with watching in a bar. My hockey trip is over today unfortunately but got to see some great games. Raanta was so solid in goal. He's really going to be a great goalie if he keeps progressing like he is.

GvidoR · 22-10-2014 5:55pm

Puck drop at 3:30 AM... damn, these time zones.

Staying up to watch some of the Pens v Flyers game and only realised that the puck drops at 1am. Thought it would be 12am.

Flyers all over the Pens at the moment.

I went on a hockey trip earlier in the year, that's ballsy to go without tickets

We probably ended up paying through the nose for our tickets in advance ...
