2022-2023 NHL Regular Season Thread

I don't want to alarm anyone but I think the real season started yesterday and the NHL didn't tell anybody.

Ruh roh!

[Troy McClure]

Not sure what the comment on domestic violence has to do with this?

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I'd like it to be known that Nathan Mackinnon molested me and this should be investigated until at least the end of the season.

PRAGUE – Tomas Hertl thought the Dallas Stars were going to draft him.
“I was actually thinking Dallas at 13 because [their Czech scout] Jiri Hrdina was going on the stage,” Hertl recalled about sitting in then-Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh during the 2012 Draft. “But they took [Radek] Faksa.”

LA’s silver helmets are unattractive.

[Troy McClure]

Interesting idea. A pretty eclectic list given the ages of the guys.

Rasmus Dahlin wasn't even born when Montell Jordan made that hit. But I like his choice though.

[Knives Out]

I've always loved Jeff Skinner and his JoGo lookin' ass LOL.

Ruh roh!

WTF Casey Middlestadt?

[Troy McClure]

Ruh roh!

People are going to be mad when nothing happens to Cole, but there’s nothing the NHL can do. They can’t punish players because of random tweets.

[Knives Out]

Luckily the people who are most "mad" don't actually watch hockey LOL.

Torts may suck as a coach but he's a great interview:

[Troy McClure]

Damn.

[Knives Out]

That’s a boldy strategy, Cotton.

The Letterkenny writers now have a new line to drop in next season.

[Knives Out]

[slaps]

It boggles my mind that people are upset about the NHL not doing anything. As if an anonymous and unsubstantiated Twitter post should be enough to get a guy fired or his life ruined.

If he really did do it, then take him out of the game for good. But it can’t be based on just that post alone.

[Knives Out]

The fun theory is that the ex-fiancé of the woman Cole cheated with while in Carolina was behind it LOL.

Anyways, the NHLPA agrees with slaps:

[Jason]

[Knives Out]

Nice.

It's early. Don't get too excited.


Still, I hope it keeps up because everyone picked Minnesota way ahead of us.

There will never be a time in which I am not excited the Wild gave up 20 goals in 3 games. That’s hilarious.
