And Vegas are now first in the NHL!

:) Lasted 1 day I think.

Well, they won their last game too, I guess we'll have to see if they can keep pace with Tampa Bay. President's Trophy in the first season would be insane.

Yeah. I knew for sure it was the best start by an NHL expansion team, but this article shows it's also the best in major pro sports history. Not too surprised by that. Hopefully the wheels don't fall off.

If they win the Stanley Cup this year it'll be shocking, more than the Diamondbacks winning in like 5 years.

Since you’re a Detroit fan, which goalie do you prefer?

4 FUCKING OVERTIME/SHOOTOUT LOSES FOR THE FLAMES!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I remember in 2013-14 when Detroit had 5 OT/SO losses in a row.

So, tomorrow is the All-Star game!!



HomokHarcos on 27 January 2018

Why do they need two All-Star games?



VGPolyglot on 29 January 2018

So, the Pacific Division ended up winning yesterday's all-star game.

I'm not much into the All-Star game, but those uniforms were interesting. If there was a hockey scene in the original Robocop movie, that's what the jerseys might have looked like.
