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

That Bergeron chap seems to be pretty good at the hockey. 

First game back after missing 16, and puts up 2 goals and 2 apples.  

Best line in hockey is back in full flight.

Except they’re considering tinkering with things based on how well Pastrnak and Krejci played together. And DeBrusk’s eventual return will change things again.

 
Old Whalers fans are losing their minds over the Canes wearing the retro jerseys and busting out the Brass Bonanza for today’s game against the B’a (and for the return trip in March).

I get it ... as an Expos fan, it would frost me if the Nationals suddenly busted out their uniforms for a game or whatever. But I went to a lot of games at The Mall, whether it was the B’s or just to see some random team because it was easier getting tickets there than at the old Garden. I actually live closer to Hartford than Boston where I am now.

I should have worn my Whale jersey to my family party tomorrow as an “ugly Christmas sweater”.

My wifes 16th bday present was seeing the rangers at the whalers since it was easier to get a ticket in hartford than NYC at the time. She saw Messier and Leetch in the elevator of the hotel.

Don't get me started. Oh, man.   

 
Don’t get me wrong, the longtime NHL fan in me loves seeing things like this.

Then again, I once played a game with the Stars and Devils on PS3 using vintage uniforms simply so I could pretend it was the California Golden Seals vs. Kansas City Scouts.

 
Wow. What a game. 2 shorties against the Bruins. The arena was full and rockin. What an experience for my son!   An unbelievable weekend. Well, only have an 11 hour drive to go home.

The Tuukka Rask Experience is starting to wear thin.

Glad you and your son had a great time. Drive safe and Happy Holidays to you!

 
That's really cynical to sell Whalers jerseys when you moved them from Hartford because of supposed stadium/attendance issues. 

That's just lousy. An iconic uniform is being abused for profit by the same owner the NHL entities that abused them for profit. I never rooted for them when they won, and I hate them now.  

eta* For accuracy. 

eta2* The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off.

For expansion or relocation?

no more expansion now that they are at 32 with balanced conferences. I think the market size of Houston would be a big draw for the NHL if they did decide to move a team from Arizona or Florida. Quebec is just so small that it's going to be tough for them to get a team back, but they would certainly get one before Hartford ever did.

Since 2000, the Hurricanes have cracked the top twenty three times, never finishing higher than 15th. 

I'm sure they have some great fans like Cav, but they get very little support. They've finished dead last at times, and they hover around 24th, if I had to average it from a cursory glance. 

Hartford is never getting a team, not only because they already had one and couldn't keep it, but also because they're too close to the NY and Boston markets. So the Whale ain't coming back, but I'm not sure the pastures were all that much greener. Regardless how you feel about public funding for stadiums, twice-convicted Gov. John Rowland (who I interned for) decided to go with trying to lure the Patriots from Foxboro, got a deal in place, neglected the Whale's request for a stadium, only to be jilted at the alter by Robert Kraft, who got his stadium built In Foxboro. So went the Whale.  

Houston does have a history with the Aeros, that's interesting. Glad Seattle is getting their team after the Sonics debacle.

I was born and raised outside of Pittsburgh.  I decided to become a Canes fan and STH.   I still embrace the Canes and the city that gives me my livelihood.  Most people can't understand or adapt like that.  They move here, make a living, dress their kids up in gear from loser cities that they can't make a decent wage in.  

Also, Stormy isn't going to give a gift to your kid wearing an opponents gear, he is going to give it to the kid fan in the Canes gear, stop trying.  HTH.

Fantasy hockey guys?  I’m in a 10 team point league.  My goalies suck (Allen/Talbot). 

Do I trade Monahan, Gentzel for Hellybuyck and Spurgeon?

3 for goals, 2 for assists, plus/minus, PPG are one extra.  

Goalie wins are 3, saves 0.2 and GA -1

we start 6 FWD, 4 D, 2 goalies. 

Mcdavid, McKinnon, Eichel are my 3 keepers.  I can piece together my other 3 FWDs.

The Caps have gone 15-3-0 over their last 18 games, but have only gained five points on CBJ and three on PIT. Top 3 starting to separate themselves from rest of the Metro
