NHL is the worst with scheduling games

Brutal for the Sharks. Knights look sharp so far. Goaltending has to clean up a bit but I think they can make a deep run again this year.

Knights are similar to ND they either have great D or O but not both. They need to fix their goalie situation

Future Calder winner Rinzel gets his first goal tonight!

I gotta give the kids credit....they are alot more scrappy this year.

Had an interesting dialogue today... The Glow Puck would be the best thing ever if done right.

Fox just did it obnoxiously over the top. Have a small illumination, only the size of the puck itself, not the size of a couple of players' heads put together... Subtle enough to completely ignore if one so wishes, but sufficient enough to follow along the near side boards, in scrums, on odd angles.... no flashes, no trail marks or anything over the top like that. It would improve the viewership I'm sure, bc the number one critique I hear by those who want to get into hockey but can't is, "I can never tell where the puck is."

They took an obvious idea and said, "How do we do it,... to the EXTREME!??!"

Nice jerseys, but I hate this so much.

 

[ACamp1900]

Why dafaq, are my pens NOW playing so well,… they were SO SLOW the last couple years now largely with the same roster, now they’re out skating everyone… this was the year I was good hitting complete bottom. Browns, Angels, and even my Pens, full suck, get McKenna… and they do this lol

Knights look good, gonna be a wagon this year.

Taking my kids to the Hawks/Wings game Sunday in Detroit. Be my daughters 1st NHL game and she is so excited. Amazing how much cheaper tickets are at Little Caesars compared to the UC. Got 12th row off ice for 125 ea compared to 3rd level for 270 at the UC

I'm still shocked my red wings have a winning record....and Indiana football is ranked #2. 🙄

Go wings!!!

Go wings!!!

Go Hawks!!! Seriously though, hockey is better when both teams are good.

Absolutely. If I had to cheer for another team it would be Chicago. I have never disliked them and Chelios was one of my favs

Same...I keep an eye on the Wings more than I should with them having DeBrincat and Kane. We used to go to Indianapolis Ice games and they had Chelios and Roenick there one night as part of a promotion since the ice were an affiliate of the Hawks. Got a puck signed by both that one side is the Ice logo, other side is the Hawks

What a great story. Thank your for sharing that. It must have been a great experience/time.

It was...think it was in 91 or 92...I know i was in middle school. I guess I haven't paid alot of attention to their jerseys, but have the Wings done anything special for the Centennial? My Frank Nazar Centennial jersey is out for shipment to my house as I type

 

[ACamp1900]

I’m stuck between happy my pens relearned how to skate and thinking, ‘but McKenna tho’

Sometimes teams skate like they have cement in their skates. The wings play like this quite often it seems. They should iron out the wrinkles soon enough. Season is early

Hell yeah. Speaking of which.....

Wings/BlackHawks Sunday!!! 👍

Got a bit into hockey last year. Previously have very little knowledge of the sport.
Anyone have a youtube channel or videos that explain basic strategy that might help explain why players do certain things?

 

[FU BK]

Hell yeah Hawks. Hate to say it, but damn, the kids are fun to watch. One of the women at the gate asked my daughter if she'd ever been to a game which she said no. Sent us to guest services, and they had posters they they put her name on with the date and opponent. And the topping was her getting a puck in warm ups from Ryan Donato. Only thing that sucked was they made her cut her sign she made in half due to size....guest services gave us tape...lol. Definitely a 10 out of 10 day

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Being a southerner I’m pretty foreign to NHL. Got an opportunity to attend my first game this week in Vegas. They’re playing the NY Rangers. Any tips on how to best enjoy the game are appreciated. Explain hockey like I’m 7

 

[ACamp1900]

Don’t obsess about finding the puck, follow the play(ers)… knowing offsides is good ahead of time,…
