Chedda, I see your great photos from Czechia on Instagram. Did you attend either of the NHL games in Prague?

I wish. We left for Milan late Thursday night. We did roll by the Four Seasons in Prague on Tuesday and saw the obligatory autograph hounds outside the hotel. Walked in to use the facilities, and man, that's a nice hotel. I did get to see Inter/Torino tonight in Milan.

Dylan Guenther with the first UHC goal.

Now I just need to learn who Dylan Guenther is.

He’s only 21 and he was a big star in junior hockey, so he could have a bright future.

Just to get ahead of this for tonight and for however long this all has to last with a reusable template:

No I don't think Rempe is an NHL level player and yes I acknowledge that hit on _______ was both dangerous and, if not illegal, completely predatory.. If _______ did that to a Rangers player, I'd be furious. Any retaliation against the Rangers is likely justified and the onus is on either our coaching staff to teach him how to play the right way or on our front office to remove him from the roster.

Flames can score but can't defend. Take the OVER on them all year.

Oilers losing 6-0 is certainly a hangover.

I resisted this when they posted shorter clips, but... this isn't bad (acting quality aside).

Off to a good start. Two more for Günther, including the OT gamewinner.

Wild third period too.

Celebrini with his first goal for San Jose in the first period of his first game. Hope it’s an omen for the future!

It deflected in off a Blues defenseman, so kind of a cheapie.

ETA: Draymond Greene is at the game, wearing a Celebrini sweater. (Celebrini’s father works for the Warriors, so he got to know the kid.)

A lot of Rangers twitter was saying too many men on the winning goal but I don’t think it was. The pick play in the first minute of OT however … more Boston Hockey Club than Utah Hockey Club.

i think the most damning thing i can say is "meh"

Rabid/diehard fan since i was 4 (still have the 1975 Finals pennant - my first game!) and i don't even watch anymore. Pegulas have nearly singlehandedly killed my interest in the NHL, and I know I'm not the only one. I can't invest my hope right now again for WELL INTO a second decade which is just insane to type. Plus baseball postseason is everything in this house so if they're above .500 after the Series I'm sure I'll be back in some capacity.

I want to care but I'm dead inside LOL. It is really a bummer tho; ppl don't believe it but for my generation it was ALL Sabres around here for decades and the Bills were a very cool fall diversion ... and in the end it all kinda makes me hate the Bills in an absolutely/admittedly jealous way.

It's only been 4 games, but boy are the games ever better to watch compared to last year. Lots of hard work and guys - and the team - playing well above expectations all over the place.
