2017-18 NHL hockey thread

And now I think the FlyBoys are showing their youth. It will be an up and down season. But the same way viewing the Sixers, I want to see growth from the kids. I don't think the current core will be the group to build around.

I want to see growth too. We keep on talking about our young talent network and nothing seems to come from it, except Ghost who was a little bit of a surprise. And goal tending, come on, we NEED the franchise goaltender if we're ever going to get there.

They had one...and now he plays in Columbus haha. They seem to be high on Lyons and Hart. Have cooled on Stolarz. It will be years before we know what will come them...

Wild just beat the habs 6-3, glad to pick up two points.

Price looked shaky as hell in net for the habs. Haven’t followed them any this season but sounds like he’s not been his usual self, wonder what’s up with that?

Flyers made a good show of it last night! They beat and shutout the best team in hockey right now, the Blues. It was on their ice and the first loss for them on their ice.

Impressive win. What is more impressive is the growth and maturity of Ivan Provorov. The dude is a stud and only 21. I know most people outside of Philly don't know of him. He does it all. I know Ghost is more flashy but Provs is the Flyers future. Unreal the amount of mins this dude logs on a nightly basis.

It looks like the honeymoon in Vegas might be over. They've dropped they're last 3 games for they're first losing streak. Hope they can pull it out against the Sens tomorrow.

It's absolutely ridiculous what LV is going through right now. I was uber excited to see Subbie get a chance and happened to be watching the game live when he hurt himself stretching far post. I'm hoping he can get back in the crease sooner than later.

 

[2flyfishin]

Looks like the Knights are getting the 2nd string goalie Subban back off of ir. No more 4rth and 5th stringers.

Like my Devils, the Vegas team can’t sustain what you saw early on. Not that level of maturity yet, but they will grow and learn how they need to play as a team night in and night out. Devils in a loss to Toronto on Thursday played maybe their best game all year and showed they can play a tight disciplined game while having the the energy to generate opportunities. They didn’t bury any but the greater point is they can play the game tight or run and gun. Versatility is huge and I’m impressed how fast they’ve developed into a young team that’s tough to play against. Consistency going forward will be THE key that determines if they are a playoff team or not.

I'm crossing all my fingers for a Sharks vs Devils SCF.. I miss Ryane Clowe and its great to see him on the coaching side of things for a team thats killing it right now. Any other 4TR.org Sharks fans in the house?

Site related thought: Its strange how many 4runners I see in SJ when we go to games... The silicon valley just isn't really a 4x4 kind of area. I bought my 1996 in SJ and thought the 4x4 was broken... Turns out the original owner never used it and the contacts grew enough dust to keep it from actuating.

Going to the knights game tomorrow. Hopefully they can pull off another win and stay ahead of the kings!:first:

The FlyBoys are winless in 8 straight games. Have to move on from the current core of players and start building around the kids.

TERRIBLE! Giving up 2 goal leads multiple times and cannot win in overtime to save their lives! Ugh.:ybrick:

7-2 Jets over the wild last night I keep thinking this can’t be real. Maybe a 2nd round playoff team this year? I hope

 

[2flyfishin]

Go Knights

 

[2flyfishin]

And of course, the knights blew it :redbrick:

It will be interesting to see if Hakstol is back next year. I do think he will be here for the remaining of the season regardless of the "Fire Hakstol" chants. Simmonds should've been moved before the season but water under the bridge now. This team is at the crossroads and you need to find a way to rebuild.

 

[THatfield]

Go Jackets. Hoping to finally advance past the first round... which would make sense given i gave up my season tickets and moved to Tennessee.

Been a Jackets fan my whole life, sat through some very bad seasons, so it’s exciting to have them at least contend for playoffs and in the division.

 

[2flyfishin]

I can’t believe the Knights gave up 5 goals in the 3rd period to [MENTION=154700]aa.allen[/MENTION] ‘s jets last night! :ybrick:

I was having a kidney stone episode last night went home from work and went to bed pretty quickly. The app on my phone alerts me when either team scores. Phone kept going off left me laying there wondering what was going on. When I did finally get up to check it I was pleasantly surprised but wondered where both teams defense went.
