Its gonna be a loooong year, I can already tell...

I'm starting this one off with something about PK Subban who I despise on the ice (mostly because he's not on my team) but I can't say anything bad about this:

Just heard about that on the radio in the car...good for Subban.

Went and saw Phanuef, Kadri and Lupul vs the Ottawa Senators last night in a split squad pre-season game. We somehow managed to win which was unexpected. I am fully prepared for a year of utter suckage so this whole "finding a way to win" won't fly with me during the regular season, that's for sure.

So the Patrick Kane case just got more bizarre. Check out @JulieDiCaro's Twitter feed.

And here I thought this morning it was actually gonna be over today.

GirlsAloudFan · 09-23-2015, 05:12 PM

This is so fucked up.

LemonMelon · 09-23-2015, 05:21 PM

I'm betting Kane is going to get out of this with no prison time, but it's still going to destroy his legacy regardless of what happens. Even if he's innocent.

Frankly, the guy needs to not drink anymore. Some people can handle it, but bad shit seems to happen to him when he does.

elevated_u2_fan · 09-23-2015, 09:46 PM

But he's cultivated his dirtbag persona for so long, why stop now?

LemonMelon · 09-25-2015, 01:16 AM

Hey, look, an attorney lied. Whoda thunk it?

elevated_u2_fan · 09-30-2015, 07:46 AM

Full steam ahead for Tank City.

BoMac · 10-05-2015, 10:12 AM

Peef took a break from Interference, right? He'd be thrilled with the Flyers placing Andrew MacDonald on waivers.

LemonMelon · 10-09-2015, 10:38 PM

Really, really tough start for us facing two playoff teams in a row. Pleased to have nabbed one win out of that.

LemonMelon · 10-18-2015, 03:53 AM

This may be a frustratingly inconsistent season with so many young players like Marko Dano (not yet, but soon) and Artemi Panarin being cycled in and out, but then there's shifts like this one that get me really excited for the future:

There's a ton of talent on this team, it's just a matter of getting the lines straightened out and filling a conspicuous hole at left wing where Patrick Sharp and Brandon Saad used to be. Hopefully Dano and Panarin can provide that in time.

I've been looking forward to playing Columbus since Saad went there and am glad we dominated, but it is a bummer to see them playing so poorly. Could be a coaching vacancy there soon if things don't improve.

LuckyNumber7 · 10-20-2015, 10:05 AM

We are five games in and we've won more games than we've lost.

It's a miracle.

LuckyNumber7 · 10-20-2015, 09:42 PM

If anyone here is a Pittsburgh fan and watched the Florida-Pittsburgh game tonight, tell me what you think of that officiating...

ladyhawke34 · 10-23-2015, 12:50 PM

Welp the boys dropped their first game with Torts as HC against the Wild last night but...but they played well. Much better than the previous games. There are still things that need improved upon and Bob looked really shaky at the start but we will climb out of this hole!

Seeing Torts bench Johansen the last 10 minutes of the 3rd was kind of refreshing. He's been kind of going thru the motions and sulking. But we need RyJo to buy into Torts' philosophy, ugh. Hopefully we won't see crazy fireworks between those two.

All in all, I'm feeling hopeful again because lawdy, lawdy starting out the season like we've done is not good for the heart!

BoMac · 10-28-2015, 07:22 PM
