It's way too easy to say Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter there has to be a twist it way too easy

Why does she need to be related to anyone? There are thousands of planets, I don't think everyone of importance needs to be related to someone in some way. She might be Luke's kid, she might be Obi-Wan's kid. She could be Snoke's kid for all I know. It's leaning that she's Luke's just by the way the story goes and I think it'd be lazy to do that but there's very little evidence that she's Obi-Wan's.

He has in reference to shots/possession. But I agree he was brought here to finish.

I like his game, but I'm hoping he doesn't get 20+ minutes of ice time for much longer. He needs to play a secondary role
- sbroads24

He needs to be in the top 6. But he's a fring top line player. If he could finish his chances he'd be a top line winger for sure. If we get a surefire top line winger and he's on the second line then I think we'll be better off but if he's there I don't think we'll be in a bad spot. Again, assuming he can learn to not be perpetually snake bitten

Anakin made the lightsaber himself, like all jedi do. Hence why Anakin said to Luke in ROTJ "I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your training is now complete". And go watch episode 3, they are using the same one. Anakin's was destroyed in episode 2 by Dooku and made a new one. Anakin and Obi-Wan fought on Mustafar and after he won the battle took the lightsaber. That lightsaber was then handed to Luke who lost it in Empire. It then wound up with Maz and then Rey.

When Obi Wan first trained Luke that was his lightsaber was it not when rey touched the lightsaber Obi one was the one speaking to her the same words he said to luke when he was starting his training

Yea that was quick. Bad turnover, bullet shot on a goalie who hadnt seen one in almost and entire period.

Finns should continue to bring it though

Both those goals were zingers. The Finn defender was completely flat footed waiting for the puck to reach him. Just bad play by him.

You also hear Luke and Yoda. I didn't catch Obi-Wan but I went back and you're right, it's in there. Both Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness (Through voice editing of when he said the word 'Afraid') were used to say "Rey … these are your first steps". We know that Obi-Wan has been able to talk to Luke from beyond, and could be doing the same here.

But like I said, I don't know. You're not the only one who thinks her and Obi-Wan are related. It's definitely and interesting theory.

- gerbe75pts

No when we first see Obi Wan and Luke, Obi Wan gives him his fathers lightsaber

which is why they made sure you see that bit in ROTS as Anakin is about to burn you see Obi Wan pick it up.

So? Since when do vets need time to get acclimated to new teams?

I understand the rookie part, however they have been the best players.

Jack just started to pick it up recently, Sam while not playing poorly can and will improve further.

I believe when you said Luke constructed his own lightsaber that lightsaber was green not blue.. The one we see Rey using looks like the one obi-wan used to first train Luke

I am going to sit over here and try to act like this is not the dumbest comment I have ever read in the history of HockeyBuzz.


Look at trade deadline acquisitions... how many of them actually go to a new team/system and absolutely tear it up!!! A select few. Maybe.

Here in bold is EVERYONE that was not on this team full time last year...

Kane - ROR - Reinhart
Girgensons - Eichel - McGinn
Moulson - Larsson - Gionta
Legwand - Schaller - Foligno

Gorges - Risto
Bogo - Franson
Pysyk - McCabe
Coli - Weber

Johnson
Ullmark
Lehner

That is 14 out of 23 a.k.a. 61%.

Show me any other team that has turned over 60% of their roster and won a lot of games immediately the following year.

I'll wait.

- Herzeleid

this is becoming quite an exciting game. A good look at some high prospects for the draft.

I can spoil it for you (and everyone else here)
you can spoil it yourself by reading the books.
or, none of the above.

I will say they should be better. But I'm not getting antsy...yet

Ive never seen one of the movies, never read one of the books. Never will.



So, DO IT!

There's only 1 book though, isn't there? All the other books mean nothing to the universe anymore.

- gerbe75pts

Yes. That's the point. ANAKIN made the blue lightsaber. No one gave it to him. It's his and his alone. LUKE made the green one. I brought this up in response to you saying "Who gave Anakin Skywalker the lightsaber". No one did. He made it himself. It's part of the Jedi trials, something that all padawans must do before they can be considered jedi. So, for Luke to be considered a Jedi, he had to construct his own lightsaber which was green. Hence why Vader commented on it in ROTJ. In Empire, Luke was not a jedi. He was a kid with a sword and some powers. In ROTJ he is a jedi.

Tl;dr: It's Anakin's lightsaber. Luke either still has his green one or he lost it.

I'm sure everyone has seen the movie me 4 times ( no life)


Rey has to be A Kenobi

She's crazy good at Jedi mind tricks
The light saber that she touched Kenobi was the one speaking to her
The light saber that she had was not Luke Skywalker's or Aniken Skywalker it was Obi-Wan Kenobi's light saber
And why did they make her use her British accent in the movie
- gerbe75pts

false.. i have never seen and have no plans to.. i have only seen the original three and will probably never watch them again nor will i watch these.

I will say they should be better. But I'm not getting antsy...yet
- Dr3aMWeav3r

That is the best way of putting it without throwing them under the bus.

yes I do expect them to be better than this on a nightly fashion... but PATIENCE is a virtue here people. We are talking about a team that is almost 70% under the age of 24 as well.

Get Lehner back... get these lines molding together. We will come together and win some games.

There's only 1 book though, isn't there? All the other books mean nothing to the universe anymore.
- stashu

Correct. The movies, the clone wars series, the Star Wars Rebels series, and the new books are canon. Nothing else. Anthology films are also canon.

Well, lets look at this years acquisitions

Brandon Saad- 16 goals 29 points in 35 games - WOW, how did he adjust?
Artem Anisimov - 15 goals 22 points - Quick learner
TJ Oshie - 14 goals 25 points - Must be a whiz kid
Patrick Sharp- 16 goals 34 points - Seeing a trend here
Phil Kessel - 12 goals 22 points - He's struggling a little bit....still better than Kane

not just 61% ..
but
100% of goalies(however johnson technically was on the team last season)
83.3333% of the top 6

thats 90% of some of your more important players. really the least amount of change was in the top end of the defense

But did all of their linemates need to adjust to a new team, new scenery, new coach, new system as well? Not exactly the same. That said, you're still not completely wrong.

OOOHH baby its gettin wild in findland.
