Thunderfox Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 So after the 3rd lockout in like 20 years, we finally have a 2012 - 2013 NHL Season. It won't be as big as the NFL topic ofcurse but here were Canadians, Europeans and those Americans who have become enlightened to the glory of this sport can discuss, make our predictions and what have you. That first Canucks game was just depressing
Helios Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Wanna talk depressing? How about that Wings lost last night. 6-0! I'm more of a casual hockey fan compared to other sports I'm a fan of, but damn even I know the Wings shouldn't have lost to the Blues that badly.
Icon of Sin Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Lidstorm's absence is showing, while the Blues are becoming quite the powerhouse. I wonder if Edmonton is going to get itself together or if their defensive issues are going to cost them a playoff spot again.
Gone2Ground Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I live in montreal. Therefore, out of fear of being lynched, go habs.
Thunderfox Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Eh given what the Blues did last season once they got Hitchcock, and given their line-up of good young players like Backes, Pietrangelo, Halak, Oshie, Perron, and now Tarasenko and Schwartz they're probably going to be a powerhouse team for a few years now. Yeah the loss of Holmstrom, Draper, Rafalski and Lidtsorm will hurt the wings but they have one of the top coaches and top GMs in the league, so they'll probably figure it out. I really doubt the Oilers will be last/second last again this year, but a playoff spot? We'll see
Second Pronoun Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 This might actually be my team's year, Heatley looked good last night as did Granlund and Parise, we have depth and a good goalkeeper. My team of course is the Minnesota Wild.
Thunderfox Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 I'm a Canucks fan, but I've always felt that Luongo has been treated terribly by Fans and media, so I'm glad he's playing so well right now. I mean I do like schneider, but especially in a short season like this where the Salary cap doesn't really matter, there are worse problems to have than 2 Goalies who can both start 50-60 games in a regular season
