Random open thread: Monday 10/13

I should take advantage of the freeview of center ice. My second favorite team is playing tonight. That is, “whoever is playing the Wings.” Go ’canes.

I wish I had gotten to see the Islanders-Sabres game today. 1-7 Sabres, and a huge amount of penalties, 150 minutes to be exact.

Currently watching Washington-Vancouver on VS. Caps up 2-1.

Carolina

for carolina’s. i like them. i really like their secondary logo (they should just make it their prime logo). And it looks good on the black.

I don’t like the trend of black jerseys.. there’s too many of them. They could have had a spiffy 2nd red jersey or something. A lot of teams have black and it’s just not necessary.

I don’t like the black trend either. I think Dallas’ black jerseys look like a long sleeve basketball jersey, very plain and boring. I don’t know what Atlanta was thinking either when they decided to go with the same style with just a little more color.

I hated Dallas’s jerseys for the same reason, especially after they had nice pre Edge jerseys, anyone siing a connection here? My biggest worry is if they release a white DALLAS 3rd that will quickly replace the current, slightly less fugly, away jersey.

Atlanta completely dropped the ball. They should have stayed with their original home and away jerseys and left the powder blue as a third and brought them over to teh Edge, or made their new third a maroon version of their away jersey.

I know hockey is an aggressive sport but enough with the red already. It always reminds me of the Wings no matter what team is wearing red and it makes me angry.

I find they are the best in sports, because they ahve to be on their game all game. Some of them suck, but, in general, they are good. Play-by-Play guys especially.

Color guys aren’t as talented though.

Exhibit A: Red Wings color guy (there’s not a bigger whiner in all of hockey announcing..) I am 1/2 convinced the reason wings fans are the way they are, is brain washing from that idiot.

Wait a Minute

Which Hawks player is wearing the 19? Kane? Toewes?

We all know who the greatest 19 is… and it’s not Yzerman.

IMO

The league should retire numbers 19, 21, and 33 when the time comes.

oh yeah

19 is the man (Yzerman being one of the few Wings i actually respect. That said Sakic’s better)

It is Toewes. I hope he knows Sakic is the greatest and he will not be able to compete for greatest 19 ever.

This game

Went form crisp and sharp (no pun intended) in the first period to extremely sloppy.

Yeah, but I thought the same thing about last night’s game. I didn’t feel it, though.

LAst night

I felt nervous.. the Avs went into a shell and played for OT the last 4 minutes it made me (justifiably) nervous.

Think the Avs are sitting in their hotel rooms in Calgary watching the games? I mean, we are not in the locker rooms or on road trips. I wonder what they do or if they are too sick of hockey to watch it 24/7 with the job and all.

It got below freezing here last night…

Pretty cold the last three days. Not like San Jose this time of year, that’s for sure.

I’m sure it was chilly in San Jose…or at least chilly for San Jose, since it was probably in the 50’s or 60’s

I’ve seen it in the single digits in Las Vegas, but it’s rare. We usually get lows in the 20-30’s. This week it been in the 40’s at night.

I don’t think they get tired of it. I never did with Track even after competing for 17 years, I still loved to watch when I wasn’t competing.

OT should be 10 minutes.. that was fantastic… but alas a boring shootout

It’s either the SO or play to a tie….I don’t know that you want to play OT till someone scores during the season.
I’m not a big fan of SO thought

Just got home

from an Aeros game. If the Avs are in the market for an backup goalie, they should give Minnesota a call and inquire about the availability of Nolan Schaefer. He was the best goalie in the AHL last year, and he has no future in Minnesota. I believe he’s 29, so he’s not exactly a prospect anymore, but he can really play.

Oh Roy

Boods is fine. Give it a few more games. Yeesh.

Uh

I’d like to reiterate the part of my post that was apparently overlooked.

“If the Avs are in the market for a BACKUP goalie…”

I’m one of Budaj’s biggest fans and I don’t think there’s any need to worry about him. He’ll be fine.

I’m just a big fan of Schaefer and he definitely belongs in the NHL, and if Raycroft is as awful as Leafs fans have made him out to be, then there are some options out there.
