Actually, you know what, I'll take that back on the condition that Gritty is played more as being wild, vaguely insane, and possibly dangerous. Like if he'd yell "FUCK THE PENS" during a moment of silence right before a playoff game.
He's already throwing psychotic threats at the Pens on day 1 through his Twitter. I love him.

Here's to the greatest sport on Earth picking back up again. Let's go Preds!

...it sure is weird to see a season opener on the road. The Rangers were busy honoring someone they lost in their organization before they sang the anthem and it did feel just a little awkward to watch.

The Hawks are setting the tone for the entire season in their very first period. They scored a bunch, but gave up even more. I imagine that will be a trend. :v:

Toews Hat Trick OT winner! :fluttercite:

Hawks are surprisingly 2-0, both wins on the road in OT.

Hawks went into OT AGAIN, in a crazy 6-6 tie with the Leafs after regulation. They ended up losing, but it was one of the most entertaining games I've ever watched. The Hawks are not very good, but at least they're not very good in the fun way, with lots of scoring on both sides.

And meanwhile we seem to be playing just like we did in round 2 of the last playoffs... well on the road, but shut out at home tonight. :facehoof:

A banner for the President's Trophy is fine, but I hope those other two vanish as soon as we get the Cup hopefully by the end of this season.

But yeah, I really don't know why the Preds front office decided that was a good idea. With the NFL being a shitshow, it's not like the team is still playing beneath the shadow of the Titans, as had been the situation for a good 10-15 years or so. Grasping at straws like this really is rather unnecessary.

Avs secondary has been amazing so far this year.

Team has been spending WAY too much time in the box so far, but I guess if they keep stopping the PP, go for it. :pinkieshrug:

The Hawks have played 5 games and all of them have gone to overtime, which is an NHL first. :fluttershock:

They're now 3-0-2 for the season.

If the Preds meet them in the playoffs again this year, at this rate I expect we'll get at least one game that goes to quadruple overtime. :shepspike:

I spent a lot of time today working on one-timers and my slapshot. I'm happy to report that my slapshot has been upgraded from "gets off the ice 20% of the time" to "stays below the crossbar 20% of the time." Progress! :yay:

Gotta say, even I was a bit surprised when that popped up on my phone. My impression was that the Hawks had their core picked to death over the last couple of years, not that they had a problem behind the bench.

Q has been butting heads with upper management for a long time, especially after the Hjalmarsson trade. The higher-ups want him to give the younger guys more ice time because they understand it's a rebuilding year, but Q wants to win every single game and will always play more veterans. I think losing a bunch of games in a row was as good of an excuse as any for them to fire him.

I just hope he doesn't end up with the Blues, since he's already spent a lot of time there and Yeo is in hot water.

Last time I actually got to attend a game was almost two years ago, when we got shut out 4-0 by the Kings in what'd be our second-worst game this season. The stars aligned and I had to come to Nashville on a night with a home game, but guess who we're up against tonight? The Kings! Let's hope this goes better.
