THE BUSTED WINDOW OF CONTENTION WON'T STAY OPEN: THE NHL 2023-2024 SEASON THRED (INC KNIGHTS HANGOVER & PANIC MOVES. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

do kind of hate bissonette being proved right tho

Biz is a major league chode, but this was one helluva scoop by him. CBJ is a super young team, Babs thought he could pull his old stunts with them, and instantly lost their trust. The team will be better off without him, and I don't think he'll ever coach in the NHL again. He's a bully.

Babcock departs with the fourth-best win percentage in Blue Jackets franchise history.

Sheesh.

TIL modano never busted 100 pts in a season

haha same

it's a great day for hockey

He is so smol

secondary assist for his first point, just like he'd always dreamed

off to a great start

I don't know that I hate ESPN showing a little graphic with the puck carrier's name, but it's very video game-y. Were they doing this last season?

this is not how I expected the first Canucks game to go

guys the sharks are 0-10-1

they have scored 12 goals and allowed 55

Shorks

Back where they belong

20 goals against in the last two games

what if they never win a game

Absolute fucking garbage organization. In a just world they'd have their 2010 Cup vacated, Bedard removed from the team and sent to Anaheim and lost their right to playoffs and Top 10 draft picks for the next decade. Hell, even better if the organization was dissolved entirely, right down to their racist ass logo, but I know that's not going to happen.

jvc otm

oilers in disarray

Unhinged

I want them to get desperate and offer their first born for Carter Hart.

appreciate when coaches get fired after a win

3 Canucks tied for the points lead, and Brock Boeser tied for the lead in goals.

This is not how I expected the first 16 Canucks games to go

went to the game against the Islanders last night, it was a blast

so today is native (american) heritage day, and marc-andré fleury, whose wife is first nations, wanted to wear a goalie mask designed by a native artist

and then the NHL said no
and then MAF was like, okay, i'll just pay the fine
and then the NHL said no, and also we will fine the hell out of the minnesota wild
and then MAF was like, okay, i'll just wear it in warmups
and the NHL still said no

and then it became a news story, and the NHL folded, and MAF is wearing it in the game tonight

i swear this league is run by the dumbest fucking people alive

Sure seems like it

Kane to the Wings rumors really solidifying, dunno how I feel about that.

Who would think Corey Perry of all people would do such a thing?

Jeez is there any news on what Perry did? Maybe related but I’m amazed by how little coverage the Lucic thing has gotten.

If the rumors are true, wow.

Also, if the rumors are true, it's fitting that the slimiest club in hockey will freak over consensual adult sex but cover up rape all day long.

i can't imagine the rumors (that perry slept with bedard's mom) are true, and in any case i don't think the standard player's contract covers such events

but yeah it's rough when the chicago blackhawks are trying to take the moral high ground against you

* googles connor bedard mom furiously *

it's rough when the chicago blackhawks are trying to take the moral high ground against you

lmao exactly

Rumor debunked apparently. Bummer!

joe pavelski is such a beast

coyotes have won five games in a row, and those 5 games were against the last 5 teams to win the stanley cup (caps, blues, lightning, avalanche, knights)

there's playoff talk for them lately - really happy for their fans honestly! the team's been well-managed from a player standpoint and it's about time things begin to turn around

(From the isles broadcast, after the sharks made another big comeback tonight)

Brendan: The Sharks have come back from 4-0 to win 6-5 in ot

Butch: They have no quit in them

Thomas: They have no start in them either

nice

he's a good coach, but somehow eventually they all eventually stale

feel like mike sullivan's time with the penguins is approaching an end

would you guys help me out? Toronto native, lifetime casual hockey fan and I’m looking to better my understanding of the game. Sites? Podcasts? Where do you guys look? I’m into advanced stats as well. Cheers! 🍻

Well goaltending wasnt invented until 2003 or so

it's a sid-getting-buried saturday night

xp how dare you slander kelly hrudey

you've definitely come to the right site fF

That’s a good chirp

(oops huge) but deservedly so

Who is that?

I remember the time that Ariana Grande got hit by a puck at a Panthers game (true story)

Well I don’t remember it from the time bc she wasn’t famous yet but eventually the story emerged

Roberto xp

nashville splashing out

Kane and now Tarasenko, shit, they can't recreate the early aughts Wings when they just bought all types of old stars… can they?

shoresy-veteran-presence.gif

not sure those guys Know Their Roles anymore

what is it that makes stan bowman so much better than all the other hockey guys in the world who *didn't* sweep sexual assault under the rug

(don't say his dad)

Brutal. RIP
