The Official 2010-11 NHL Hockey Talk Thread!

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

This is true. But, being a Bruins fan I get great pleasure out of rooting for the Laffs to lose every time they play!

So that means you're pulling for the Habs tonight? Turn in your Bs fan card at the door.

Get out of here. Montreal is going to tank hard if Carey Price starts alot of games but I can and will root against Toronto no matter the opponent if it means we get to draft Adam Larsson all day long!

BTW, the opening thing for this MTL/TOR game is like the cheesiest thing ive everseen and it keeps gettint worse haha.

How do you think they invented poutine? Someone at a Habs opening ceremony held out an order of fries and gravy and cheese curds magically appeared.

Horray another season! I can get my hopes up that the Islanders will make the playoffs only to have them destroyed by Christmas

I have never seen a team that can so consistently play so poorly.

They have 4 cups. Tell your story to a Canucks fan.

Hahahaha! touche.

Four cups and all in a row, what a dynasty it was. I can just about say the same thing for their recent inability to make the playoffs as well... what a dynasty.

Opening weekend is over the Bruins start off .500, and it was the tale of two teams this weekend in Prague. First game, it seemed like B's were enjoying too many Pilsner Urquels the night before because they came out flat as can be and lost 5-2. Next day seemed like an entirely different team and all the players were giving it there all. Tim Thomas played exceptionally well notching his first shutout of the season in a 3-0 win sunday.

Other notables are:
Bruins new acquisition Nathan Horton has 3 goals in 2games.
Tyler Seguin Scored his first NHL goal on a break away which was the result of an excellent pass by Michael Ryder.

I didn't get a chance to watch either game this weekend, but I heard that Ryder played pretty well for a change on Sunday.

Bruins looked great on Sunday - Saturday not so much. Krecji, Bergeron, Seguin, and even Campbell down the middle look goooood. Defense both nights looked a bit rusty, but played a ton better on Sunday. Tuukka and Timmy will be just fine together.

Horton looks like a beast. This could be the year.

Every time I see the Bruins I just laugh now. This is coming from a Flyers fan so you should be able to understand ;)

Go Flyers!

You guys upset the B's last year when they had there 5 best players injured and a rookie goalie! We'll see whos laughing come that time this year.

I see a ECF Rematch between the Bruins and Philly.

Don't get upset - every fanbase was laughing at the Bruins last spring. Up 3-0 in game 7 after being up 3-0 in games - that's LOL funny and you know it! This a new season though.

Dont make me relive it... MY liver shutters at the thought of the thrashing it took when the flyers clawed back into that game followed by the prolonged alcohol consumption until I awoke facedown on a shag carpet :(

Think harder - was that really a shag carpet . . . aaaaaaargh!!!!!

Too bad about Savard - if he was healthy I'd have put money on them reaching the Eastern final.

I was at the Lightning home opener last Sat Night when they shelacked the Thrashers. Watched them beat Montreal last night in OT, and will be watching and cheering tonight as they play the Flyers.

New Owner, New GM, New Coach......picked up Simon Gagne during free agency.....he's skating very well with Vinny. Now we just need a primetime goalie.

Go BOLTS!

It looks so wrong seeing Gagne wearing a Lightning jersey. He was one of my favorite Flyers but could never stay healthy. I am excited to watch the game tonight, I wish Bobrovsky was getting the start again though.
