2019-2020 NHL Season
Let’s start this season off with the VGK and Sharks ringing up 100+ PIM in a (checks notes) preseason game.
All of them (except 2) in the last two periods.
Gonna be a fun season.

Also, how many games will Evander Kane get suspended for slashing an official?
NHL rulebook says minimum of 3 games, but the NHL will find a way to hem and haw its way down to only one or two I'll bet.

He's going to go for shoving him, not the slash (which, while dickish, was not directed at the ref)
5 games. NHL takes AOO seriously, and they should.

He was gated for "abusing an official" so it better be at least the 3. Keeps him out of the first two games against VGK, where he can't goon it up as usual at least.

I'm surprised DeSmith cleared waivers.

Still more than six hours from puck drop and tonight's Sharks/Golden Knights game is already the most wagered-on regular season game in NHL history per LV Superbook.

I'm excited to lose some money on puck lines this year.

When they visit Las Vegas, lots of people take the opportunity to drop a buck or two on their favorite team from back home. One thing about the NHL now being in Las Vegas and the NFL coming soon, too. The lines on Las Vegas teams probably get skewed because of local money bet on the local team. That was always a fact to some extent regarding Los Angeles teams, but I assume this might affect lines to a much greater degree.

It is. It does. Generally speaking fading the VGK is smart. That said it is going to be beyond a playoff atmosphere tonight. This place is lit and it’s only the pre-game skate.sancarlos wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 4:27 pm When they visit Las Vegas, lots of people take the opportunity to drop a buck or two on their favorite team from back home.

The look on Cody Glass’s face after scoring his 1st NHL goal in his first game is what sports is all about. That was cool getting to see that. (His shift two minutes into the game was the first time a VGK draft pick played in a game.)

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
Up until an hour before gametime, Erik Karlsson was expected to play last night. He was then scratched for "personal reasons". No more detail yet.

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
Been refreshing Twitter to figure out what's up. Didn't him and his wife lose a child a year or two ago? I hope it isn't something like that again.

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
Yeah, they had a stillborn child. Then, there was the whole issue regarding his wife (allegedly) being harassed online by Mike Hoffman's girlfriend. Then, his injury. Hope this is not a huge issue.

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
Whatever this thing with Karlsson is it sounds serious because the reports are he might miss tomorrow’s game as well.

Roman Polak with a scary injury.

Good for him. He should take tomorrow off too to make sure everybody’s OK.

Early thoughts. Refs are calling everything and players are diving everywhere . Not good.

Avs vs. Flames is an entertaining game. (Flipping back and forth with the NFL game and the MLB game.)

Flames are always bad on opening night. 10th loss in a row, 27 out of 30.

Bolts are the opposite apparently. 7 opening wins in a row and the best opening game win percentage in the league. 18-7-2 all time .702%degenerasian wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 11:07 pm Flames are always bad on opening night. 10th loss in a row, 27 out of 30.

When you just gotta lock a guy up until he's 37. $6.5 AAV? What in the actual fuck?

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
I thought they were gonna dodge the trap that a lot of teams fall into after winning a Cup by just locking up almost everyone with no regard to continuing to build for the future when they let Maroon walk, but apparently not.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 9:00 am When you just gotta lock a guy up until he's 37. $6.5 AAV?

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
It seems that with a certain segment of a fan base, no player is as popular as the one you let go.
With Joe Pavelski, I certainly understand the emotion and sentiment. I feel it too. He was a great Shark. But, it was also a business decision I can get behind.
But, last night Joonas Donskoi was credited with two goals for the Avalanche and some people are howling about letting him go. That's just stupid. He had lots of chances with the Sharks and never lived up to his salary, which went further up with the Avs. (And his two goals last night? One was somebody else's shot that grazed his chest and went in. The other was an empty net.)

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
There's always a tendency to overreact to the first few games also. Can't really get a feel for much until about 15-20 games into a season.
