Hey heres the spot to talk about anything and everything hockey. The season is rapidly approaching and I want to know who people think is going to be the team to watch this year.

For me the Big4 in the east are going to be the Caps, Pens, Bruins, and Flyers. Being from Boston I of course think the Bruins made some of the biggest improvements in the offseason by adding Tyler Seguin(who scored his first goal as a professional vs florida last week) and Nathan Horton who almost has a goal a game preseason right now. Also promising Rookies Jordan Caron and Bartkowski have impressed the coaches and could push for a roster spot this season. On the down side Marc Savard has come out with his Post Concussion Syndrome and willmost likely be going on LTIR for an unkown amount of time leaving a big ? right in the middle of the lineup for Boston.

I dont know much about the western conference so if somebody out there would like to share there thoughts on their favorite western or eastern conference team it would be awesome.

I think its going to be a really interesting season esp and looking forward to hockey talk here.

and Go B's Go

I'm amazed by the anticipation leading up to the Bruins season this year, even after the embarrassing exit from the playoffs last year.

Alotta people feel it was a fluke I mean what are the odds that Bergeron, Lucic, Krejci, Sturm, Chara, Savard are all hurt in the playoffs again this year?*knocks on wood*

ESPN also put them in the cup finals with vancouver so we will see.

I hadn't seen that. I'm not quite that optimistic about their chances this year, but I do think they'll do better than they did last year. I do hope that Savard doesn't end up on long term IR this season. They had a hell of a time trying to score without him.

Take anything said on ESPN concerning the NHL with a grain of salt.

Do you B's fans think that the only reason that Savard is still on the team is because of the post concussion syndrome? Redwings fan here. Looking for a better year out of the Wings. Hopefully the injury bug stays away.

Do you mean *not* on the team?? Or that he didnt get traded because of PCS?

That he didn't get traded. No team would want to take on that contract if they aren't sure he will play anytime soon.

Is he out again? I saw him dancing around someone wearing bleu blanc et rouge just the other day.

Regarding a Canucks v. Bruins SCF: I'll bet 100 gazillion dollars against that happening in my lifetime.

He shouldn't have come back so soon. His brain is still scrambled.

I had to re-read the thread - thought the player in question was Patrice Bergeron.

He's looking really good this preseason actually. Which is exactly what the B's need to replace savards points until he returns. Seguin and Caron two rookies have some of the most goals for the B's this preseason and made the team. While impressive rookie D from Boston University Matt Bartkowski was sent to the AHL, while Ferrence and Hunwick are under "evaluation".

Going to be a fun season, I dont put them at #1 in the east that will be the Caps and #2 the Pens most likely. But I could see them winning the division for 3rd and then its just a matter of playoff luck/success.

Go Flyers!

Actually I like the Flyers (despite the pain last year causes me to endure when thinking about the historic B's collapse) Mike Richards and Chris Pronger nuff' said. Two of the best and toughest players in the game today.

BTW, NHL Center Ice is going to have a free month to star the season most cable providers. So I will be watching Tor/Mtl and Philly/Pitts tonight sizing up the East lol.

Using any team playing against the Leafs as a way to judge the East is a waste of time.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
