2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

2021 NHL Irregular Season and Plague-offs?

I hate that the Av's start the season as favorites to win the cup. I have high hopes for the team this year, but being too hyped is never good. That being said my biased opinion is Av's vs TB in the finals. Avs win if either #1 or #2 goalie stays healthy.

Imagine if you could add PLD as your 3C on a contender. Would be insane.

Yes, it will be insane when the NYR acquire him!

Oof. Not a good start for the future champions.

Flyers looking mighty fine! Even with Hart playing a terrible game. Great to see Nolan Patrick and Oskar Linblom both score goals in their returns.

Gritty is an endless source of entertainment. Also the Blackhawks are still terrible.

Dancing, mask-wearing Gritty thanks Kevin Hayes for the support so he could attend Flyers’ season opener

Over the offseason, it was unclear if the NHL would allow mascots to be at games during the 2020-21 season due to the coronavirus pandemic. Mascots aren't exactly essential (sorry, Slapshot) and with fans unlikely to be at most games,...

I swear Gritty gets more media attention than McDavid. That's certainly one way to grow the game.

Gritty's funny, McDavid is dull as a rock.

No joke. They were super overwhelmed by the Blues. No points from MacKinnon and the top line. Good news is theres no where to go but up!

I always enjoy seeing the Blues skull fuck the Avs.

Here's hoping the Caps get off to a good start against Buffalo tonight. Going to be weird seeing Chara in a Caps sweater.

Why does NBC still try to use flash for streaming? Was literally put out to pasture it ain't gonna work.

Nice to see Ovechkin/Bacsktrom/Oshie reunited. 5 points combined in the period, too. Yes please.

Hertl looking like Hertl again - 2 goals in the first. *waits for both knees to blow out*

I'm glad Holtby is gone, but Samsonov was not particularly good tonight. I'm guessing Vanecek will be in goal for the next game

Ironically Holtby beat McDavid 1st game of the season for Vancouver, they played their backup last night and they got wrecked.

Tough to get on Samsonov for 1 game.

Holy shit is Anderson a disappointment in the net for Toronto. I've now been saying it since he showed up. Toronto will never win anything with him in net. If they had a really quality net minder they would be a quality contender. As it is, they're never going to be anything. Yes, I'm blaming virtually all of their losses on the goalie. They have a lot of talent, just none in the net.
