Man sitting behind the Ottawa bench looks exactly like Paul MacLean.

2 goals now for Turris.

Seriously, how damn good is Tarasenko?

Too good. Hopefully he's not a flash in the pan though. Although, his stats in the KHL confirm he's legit.

Cam Atkinson of the Jackets had a pretty nice goal about 5 minutes ago.

Novacane · 01-21-2013, 09:34 PM

What a move by Brunner to win the shootout.

You beat me to it. You *******.

Also, is anybody else having issues with NBCSN and Center Ice working on the TV? Mine says "This channel is currently unavailable. Please try again later." or something like that.

NBCSN is fine. Haven't tried Center Ice. It was working yesterday at my house though.

Yeah, both worked at my house just fine yesterday, but now both are saying that here at my apartment. I was pretty upset today when I couldn't reward myself after doing homework for a long time today.

Dang, just saw that Brunner goal. Holy moly.

And yet my friend, a Blackhawks fan, won't describe it with any word other than "nice".

Anton Dubinchuk · 01-21-2013, 10:08 PM

Why the **** is Daniel Winnik leading the league in goals?

PublicEnemy · 01-21-2013, 10:10 PM

Because Tarasenko's still adjusting to the NHL?

Novacane · 01-22-2013, 09:47 PM

I wish the Canes could score like San Jose...

MD · 01-22-2013, 10:15 PM

6 goals in the first period vs Edmonton. Wow.

Anton Dubinchuk · 01-22-2013, 10:19 PM

Tarasenko didn't score tonight.

Kill him.

Anton Dubinchuk · 01-22-2013, 10:47 PM

All Edmonton needs is four more highly-touted rookies to score their first career goals tonight and they'll have this thing tied!

**Highway to Cap Hell** · 01-22-2013, 11:59 PM

Since beating us 5-1, the Florida Panthers have surrendered 8 goals in 2 games, and scored 1.

That's how bad we are.

bleedgreen · 01-23-2013, 12:43 AM

just wait till next year when we add murphy to this mess.

mcbain isnt good enough to play?

Joffrey Lupul broke his forearm after getting hit with a Phaneuf slap shot.

Yikes. Well, at least they beat ****sburgh today.

Chicago Made Punk · 01-23-2013, 09:16 PM

Gaborik hat trick. Rangers beat Bruins 4-3 in OT.

Anton H Christ · 01-23-2013, 10:13 PM

There's a sense that the window has mostly closed. Niemi is a very mediocre goalie, Boyle is getting close to retirement age and both Thornton and Marleau are past their best days.

I think they've got another year or two as a veteran-team contender, especially if they double down at the trade deadline and bring in someone like Iginla who could tip the balance of their playoffs. But they're not the hot ticket they were a couple years ago.
