Philly is a fluke. They don't look good will fade badly. Dallas doesn't "have it all." Not sure what that is even supposed to mean. They have lots of mediocrity as they have for years now. Pretender at best. Boston actually does look good so far. Vegas is playing well too and deserve recognition.

The Wild; Flurry is looking as good as any goalie that sat on the bench through a couple of Stanley Cup championships.

Not sure why anyone expects a team with 15% of their cap in dead money to compete. Seems insane.

Fleury is resting up for the inevitable trade to the Avs that NHL Network and FleuryBuzz will be pushing in February. Guerin has generally handled a bad situation pretty decently in MN but he really f'd up their goalie situation falling for the Fleury hype. I'll bet he'd love to go back to Talbot and Kahkonen.

No, they are legit, Torts has them playing that '' find a way to win'' hockey. Now we see how long the players can withstand his verbal abuse.

The flyers will be the best bounce back story. Torts had lesser rosters in Columbus. 90+ points

I thought the best signing of the summer was Toronto adding Zach Aston-Reese. He was just what they needed, even if it took them right to the 50 contract limit, and giving them very little flexibility to even dress 2 healthy goalies. But maybe ZAR was 1a and Marchment was 1b.

Boston so far is getting offense up and down the roster. However, their sloppy d zone play is asking the goalies for nightly miracles. if they don't clean that poop up, this won't last.

Maybe Lou can coax Chara and Greene out of retirement.

Its 4 -5 games in.
How can you tell anything.
Wait at least 15-20 games.
A week into the season, who cares.

I will say the flames look awfully good yes of course its 2 games but knocking off the avs and oilers, if they beat vegas tonight I think I actually believe the flames have a massive history of losing in October, when they win its lose or win the cup! Ask history.

Hart is giving up a bad goal per game so far. Why not mention that aspect? They have also played 2 non playoff teams. They were also outplayed in both games overall

Ek, didn’t you pick the flyers to be 8th and wasted our time with nonsense about other teams in Philly?

He had good rosters until Jones, Bob and Bread decided to leave.

According to @NatStatTrick

Kaiden Guhle was up against Sidney Crosby for 15:28 of the Penguins captain's 18:58 tonight. Helped hold him to zero points and just one shot on net.

Ek, you picked the Kraken for the Pacific cellar with the comment that they won’t move out because they don’t have Fleury. Fleury has given up 11 goals in 4 periods. Fleury is cooked. Tell Guerin.

Corel Centre sold out tonight, Sens better show up so far they haven't and the fans are doing their part. Time to put on the work boots and get to work, all their guys get paid and then they stop playing?
