NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

Hopefully. Need Caps and Pens to enjoy a nice post-cup slump in time for the Rangers to rebuild and have a run. Though NJ, Philly and CBJ are all on the rise as well so probably just wishful thinking.

Guessing regardless of the outcome, Trotz keeps his job so you'll of dodged the AV bullet.

I'm not sold Trotz keeps his job. Successor kind of already in house with Rierden, who we blocked from having interviews last offseason for other head coaching positions.

We'll see about the "on the rise" teams. For all the talent, CBJ has yet to win a playoff series yet in their history, and Philly despite making the playoffs 2 of last 3 years haven't gotten out of the 1st round either time. We'll see what Jersey can put in place around Hall. Rumors are if Carlson does actually get to free agency, they'd be one of the teams looking to sign him (he's from Jersey).

Vegas in 3

My wife is like, is every opening like this?

"Only Vegas."

Really thought Criss Angel was going to do a magic trick with Lil Jon.

It is going to be very funny when the Caps lose to Fleury again. Go Vegas, win it all your first year.

That opening show was bloody brilliant.

Also, can the linesmen be less jackassy? I'm so sick of them yelling at players in the faceoff circle.

I predict 3 games that go to overtime and a game 7.

Vegas is just strangling them right now. Can barely keep the puck in the zone.

Caps look nervous. Was hoping they’d survive the first 10 minutes without giving up a goal. Now they need to make it through the period to settle down.

Edit: and the third line is doing work

Fuck yes! First goal was sick, second was a ton of persistence.

Vegas has such a manic and chaotic forecheck, I love it. From the first game I saw early in the season to the SCF, they battle their hardest for every possession. Lets see if their D can can follow suit.

This is good hockey. I love it. I don't want any blow outs either direction.

Also, if you don't think Fleury is the finest thing on skates right now, you're wrong.

Caps net defense has been awful.

That cross check has to be called a penalty on the goal.

Good job refs on losing control and letting guys get potentially getting hurt when you no call obvious shit.
