The Everything NHL Thread

Congratulations to the Washington Capitals! I did want Vegas to win for the sake of my bracket however the Caps definitely deserved it more. Seeing Ovechkin and his fellow teammates finally be rewarded for all of their hard work was great to see. Also, the speech from Oshie just about brought me to tears. Very happy for them all. Can't wait for next season!

Well the new season began today, and I am so excited! The months until hockey season seemed to last forever. Excited to see what the Sabres can do this year, especially with Eichel and Dahlin looking strong. Eichel was also named the captain, so can't wait to see how things go.
 
Generally when a team gets slaughtered like that, they will comeback the next game (at least from what I've seen), maybe not win, but at least try really hard to win/not get slaughtered.
 
Here's my odyssey as a hockey "fan".

From 2010-2012, I watched a lot of it as I was a student with a lot of spare time, I was supporting the Sharks. I stopped watching the sport after this because I just didn't have the time to keep up.

Last year, I went to a Vegas Golden Knights game in person (my first ever NHL game) and loved the atmosphere, so I picked up hockey again, jumped on them and made them my team.

Just last week, I got approved for a Canadian Working Holiday Visa and will be living in Toronto for 2 year as of next year, and I really want to support a home team, so here I am supporting Vegas in the West and the Leafs in the East. Is that weird?
 
Halfway through the season now (or just about). Hows it going for you guys? Maybe your looking for that least piece to make a playoff run, or maybe your looking at draft picks already (;-;). Its pretty obvious its going well for the lightning but the real test is in april for us.
 
I'm just about done with Phil Housley and very close to being done with Jason Botterill.

The horrendous ROR trade is looking worse every day that Casey Mittelstadt keeps sucking ass at the NHL level.

Dahlin is hella cool tho.

Having an excellent season as a Kings fan :(
 
Yet again another season involving a roller coaster of my emotions. I was on top of the world when the Sabres had the top spot in the league, as well as during their 10 game win streak. Lately they're meh and have fallen out of a wild card spot and seem to be falling back into old habits, so I don't know if we'll stick it out. Been a heck of a season for sure, but still have hope.

sens fan here just hoping the avs don't get hughes or kakko from us :( hopefully stone resigns and duch+zinger bring in 2 1sts and a top prospect at the deadline like they should, but i'm sure dorion will find a way to fk that up. while they finish this rebuild i'm cheering for the flames (#2 team) and lightning (stammer is my fave active player). feel like that will make for an epic final, both have crazy depth and excellent top-tier players. regardless, playoffs this year will be fun to watch for sure!

in terms of fantasy i'm in 1st by so much i kinda feel bad for my buddies, hopefully i don't choke in playoffs lol
