He was left off Team USA for some inexplicable reason, especially after the great playoff run he had, so he's taking a shot at US management.

Ah. I thought that was it.

Probably Tort's fault. Being the tough guy he thinks he is... kinda like iron man Mike Keenan. He's a dick.

^Is that Flea's twin?

Spoiler

or Flea and Wayne Rooney's triplet?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Its weird cus I thought I heard somewhere Kessel was rehabing a hand injury and that was the actual reason he was left off. Guess not if he's tweeting stuff like that.

 

[PhilsFan]

My understanding is that he was left off the team before he decided on having surgery and that the surgery had nothing to do with the decision. Because Torts is a piece of shit.

[DaveC]

oh, well that excuses all his shitty behaviour for eternity, then.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Auston Matthews

So, uh, yeah. Hes pretty good at hockey

 

[bono_212]

Oh, hello. What have we here...hockey?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Good lord, save some goals for the rest of the season!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

This is unreal.

 

[DaveC]

gee, i wonder what i'm going to be talking about at work tomorrow.

 

[LemonMelon]

Suitably heartbreaking start for the Leafs.

Meanwhile, we had this game on lock until we decided to take out everyone on the Blues' roster one by one.

 

[BoMac]

Ken Bone is a big Blues fan, ElMel. The Blackhawks never stood a chance.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Well, it was a disappointing end but not all that surprising. I am still expecting another year or two of painful losses before this team really starts to show major improvements.

At least it was entertaining, other than our new goalie who looked pretty terrible... Its the first game and all so I'll wait to pass judgment on him for now.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Yeah, if Matthews is the real deal, just look how long it took the Crosby/Malkin Penguins to mature. A season or two before they didn't still suck.

 

[Hewson]

He is on a 328 goal pace.

 

[PhilsFan]

Good to see Jon Quick is still more feisty than he is good at goaltending.

 

[DaveC]

on the 6:00 news last night (before the game) the reporter mentioned on a live hit from real sports (the shitty generic sports bar across the plaza in front of the arena) that it's going to be a rebuilding year and that even contending for the playoffs would be a very nice success, but really the most interesting aspect to the season will be to see how matthews plays - then he goes to interview some douchey drunk fans who all said the leafs were a complete lock to win the cup, no hesitation. reporter says something like "hold on a sec, this guy is a rookie and saying he's going to lead the team to win a cup is a bit of a stretch" and they all double down. he's hockey jesus.

then the guy scores four goals.

i'm glad i didn't know any of those people because today i would have surely punched them in the face.

 

[Hewson]

he's hockey jesus.

then the guy scores four goals.

.

Eh, he's old news today, not even leading the league in points any more.

[elevated_u2_fan]

blah, now that the World Cup is over I can go back to hating Marchand's guts.

 

[Hewson]

Maybe Marchand and Matthews can fight Saturday night.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'll pass on that, he can fight our newest goon, Matt Martin if he wants

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Sigh, this is going to be another long season.

 

[bono_212]

Yay Hossa! Someone I bought a jersey for and didn't immediately start sucking.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hawks' goaltending and discipline need to get waaaaaaaayyyyy better, but the offense is there.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Coming up to the quarter way through the season, the parity in the NHL right now is scary.

 

[MrPryck2U]

... and they'll be called the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
