2018 NHL Thread: Cappy is happy while the rest of us pray to the ping pong gods for Tuesday night (1 Viewer)

Seattle is in.   Arizona to central.   I thought moving Edmonton and Calgary to central and Colorado to Pacific made more sense for travel and rivalries.  Colorado, Arizona and Vegas are natural rivals.  

 
Matthews shot is so ridiculous. It's almost in front of him when he let's it go. 

Eichel was the best player on the ice in tonight's game though. 

 
Who was the last centre who was as deadly a shooter/goal scorer as Matthews?  The Rocket Richard trophy is almost always won by wingers. The best goal scorers the past few years have been Ovechkin/Laine, who are wingers. Late 90s goal scoring leaders were wingers Iginla/Bure/Selanne. 

Is it Mario Lemieux? Was Early-career Stamkos this deadly a sniper?

Stamkos scored 60 but he seemed to do most of his damage with one-timers. Crosby won two Richards also.

Stammer also plays a lot of wing now. I can't remember where he played back then.

He was listed as a C and St. Louis as a RW and Stamkos took the majority of faceoffs, but St. Louis was definitely playing the playmaking role that traditionally would be the centre at that time.

Thanks, I got the tickets!

Looking at hotels now.  PM me where you are located so I can pick a hotel not too far away or is the Marriot downtown fine.  I was also looking at the Embassy Suites off of 40.   I am hoping to come by on Saturday to have my son pick up some things.  If there isn't enough time, we could do it on Sunday, but I'd rather not impact your Sunday.  You mentioned dinner before the game earlier, let me know if you're still up for that.  Thanks again!  So looking forward to this trip.

 
I loved both those Edmonton shootout goals tonight.  no move, total patience, perfect placement.  don’t see those often

I'm scared to ask where the Flyers rank, they're a mess.

16. Philadelphia Flyers

There’s not a lot of good news in Philadelphia right now, where the team is losing, people are getting fired and fans are losing hope. If anything, I’m betting that even diehard Flyers fans might think this ranking is too optimistic.

But this is a five-year view, not a snapshot of what’s happening this month. And in the big picture, there’s still reason to like what the Flyers are doing. They’ve got some good young players, including on the blueline. And while the goaltending is a problem right now, Carter Hart is on the way. There are pieces in place, the cap situation is set up nicely and Chuck Fletcher has a mandate to get better right now. This season has shown that the Flyers are further away than we might have thought, but there’s still time to get there.

Odds of a Cup in five years: 13%

Where to stay is not my thing.  I think Embassy in Cary is an easy drive to the arena.  My house is not close to any of this.  

@Chemical X

My boy Tex, who went to the last game me and X went to is having a party on the 22nd, which is his 49th birthday.  

So after the game I have to go to his house, which is 30 minutes further west.  So the arena is a good mid point.

So......come to my house afternoon gameday.  Get the goodies.  Me and wife will join you at the game.  After game, she will head home to take care of dog.  I have to go 30 minutes west to Tex's.  You can come or not your choice, not sure I will know many people other than Tex and family.

Tex was my best man and I was his, we live an hour apart, so don't get together much and I know his friends but don't know his friends there, if you get it.

So is Dylan Larkin a superstar now, or...?  Obviously the skating is elite, in the past two seasons he's gone from a minus in the faceoff circle to very good (won the key draw last night to ice the game), he's always been good on the PK, he's physical for a 'star',  draws penalties, can/has to drive a line by himself. Because he plays PK/PP, he's always up over/around 20 minutes a night... I know it's a hot streak of late but I'm super impressed every time I watch him play.

Excellent.  Will call you in the afternoon on gameday before we head over to your place.  

Thanks for the offer for after the game but we will be good to do our own thing.  Go an enjoy yourself.  I'm sure my son will want to take his time checking out things to buy in the arena, we can do dinner before the game if you want.  No pressure.

Thanks again!
