The prehistory of this thread comes from me and Taro talking about the line matching during the preseason. It's hard to pay attention watching online, so I had to look at how Housley is matching lines using the NHL's html reports. Normally I would sit on this for a while, because it's difficult to tell if the numbers are right, but this is interesting for me, so I'm going to go ahead and post, and if I decide the numbers are wrong, there's worse things in life than being wrong on the internet.

Well...

Preseason schedule is out.

2017-18 season schedules are coming out 3 o'clock this Thursday.

Did you here that Ott is now an Assistant Coach for the Blues?

Makes sense...the only guy who actually plays hard every night and is having a career year, has good possession numbers on an abysmal possession team...but yeah, lets trade him...

SMFH...

WATCH | HC Chris Taylor announces captain and assistant captains for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

Some interesting numbers from the Sabres core in 19 games since the calendar turned:
O’Reilly 9/10/19
Reinhart 8/10/18
Eichel 7/11/18
Okposo 3/14/17
Ristolainen 3/12/15

We have five players in the top 50 in NHL scoring so far in 2018.
Risto’s tied for 48th with a million others, fifth among defencemen

6-4-1 since the Dallas debacle. Wins over the red-hot Bruins and elite Lightning.
Scored 34, allowed 26. 11 for 34 on the PP, 28 for 35 on the PK. Outshot just three times. Читать дальше...

I'll start:

Conversation happening in the Bills thread. What made Gretzky so dominate? How would he do in today's NHL? Would Crosby be better than him in the 80's NHL?

You know, I just don't like him.  And today, I figured out why.

He does a perfectly good job of describing a hockey game.  He really is very good.

There's nothing wrong with his voice.

He's no John Gurtler.  (If you're reading, John, I'm not saying this to be mean; that just wasn't the job for you.)

You know what it is?  I associate his voice with this team sucking.  And that's not his fault, but I forever will.

True story.  I had had it.

Not trying to take away from all the great photos in the "sweat" thread, but I thought having a photography thread might be a cool idea. I enjoy taking pictures and usually make it a big part of my vacations, if not having planned around it. Maybe this thread could take off, maybe not. But lets see some of your pictures that you're proud of. I've got a bunch I can add, I'll start with one. Mods feel free to delete this if it might take away from the other thread, it's not the intention. 

While this forum sure likes sitting on their computers or phones wasting time talking about food, beer, liquor and sometimes even sports, I can't imagine we're all maintaining a sedentary lifestyle.

So let's have a thread about it. We can discuss what we do for exercise, our fitness goals, accomplishments, failures, questions, etc.

As for myself I'm an active cyclist, beer league hockey player, and I run when the tendonitis in my knee isn't acting up. Thanks to my job and all of... Читать дальше...

"After the second goal." Presumably by the Kings. And then what? He slapped one of the cute little kids in the stands?
