My Blackhawks making a statement! I think the Penguins are the only team that has been more successful than us in the post-cap era.

We got Saad and Sharpie back! We're going for another cup!

Vegas have won their first NHL game!
I had a dream last night that the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup this season and people were calling them the most improved team in NHL history.

Woo, go Vegas!

So, you've picked a team?

Flames should have an easy win tonight (hopefully). Goalkeeping looks good, but the defence was terrible during the first game.



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).

Calgary refuses to build a new arena, NHL warns them the Flames could relocate. I hope the city of Calgary doesn't balk.

I'm sorry, but why the hell should taxpayers fork out money for the arena and the let the owners get all the profits in return? Our city faces hard times, we don't need a billion dollar arena right now. They won't walk anyway, as they have no other market large enough to replace Calgary anyway, and moving somewhere else would cost hundreds of millions of dollars (if not billions).

Not everyone's going to beat Winnipeg 7-2, and the Flames couldn't even score against Edmonton. I'm certainly hoping for a win but I don't think it'll be easy.

Exactly, these owners are rich. The stupid thing is, if it's publicy funded, why do we still have to pay admission to attend games? Even more ridiculous is that after taxing the city to build a new arena, the owners usually charge more for tickets when the team moves to the new arena.

Sorry about misinterpreting your most. Paying admission is perfectly fine, but give the portion of the profits that the city paid for the arena. Of course the owners wouldn't agree to that, so they don't need the arena badly enough.

Yeah, Canada!

But I wanna see the new guys do well too

You cheer for 8 teams, that means you have a 26% mathematical chance of seeing you team win. That sounds like good odds.

Toronto has scored 15 goals in 2 games, what an offensive machine.



flashfire926 on 07 October 2017

Ovechkin comes out guns blazing with 7 goals in 2 games. Hopefully he's better this season than the last.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
