(+) Yeah! (+)

Hurricanes score with like a minute and a half left in the game to tie it

Give up powerplay goal in OT less than a minute in.
---

Anyone using ESPN for fantasy? They totally fucked up basically everything just before the season started.
---

After having used them for about 5 years now, I defected to Yahoo this year because of how shitty everything was pre-draft.

Amazing how every website on Earth that has something good decides to actively ruin it.
---

I can't imagine using anything other than Yahoo for fantasy stuff.
---

Yeah someone dropped Bishop in my league so I put a claim in to get him and ended up succeeding. So I switched him in for Raanta and all was good...until later I checked and he was mysteriously absent from my lineup and I couldn't put Raanta back in as it was giving me an error. So I lost out on a shut out. It's not just our league but lots of people are getting fucked. Everyone who drafted Monday and Tuesday had their entire leagues autodrafted. And that's just some of the stuff that's been going on with ESPN.

I don't mind ESPN for hockey but I definitely prefer Yahoo for football. But this has been so fucked that our LM is thinking of moving is over to Yahoo. Think the only thing preventing it at this point is that he can't manually enter the first week's scores if we switch over.

I feel like once a game Marner blows me away with a pass that he makes.
---

Good to see the Freddie Andersen of October back. I got worried after that first game that he might actually have a solid start.

lets go Devils

Fuck the Devils. Oilers are now 0-1.

Grapes crushing the Leafs for dropping McElhinney.

And unsurprisingly taking Marchand's side in his jumping of Lars Eller.
---

Imagine losing to the Ottawa Senators in the year 2018.
---

Toews showing some sparks of life two games in! Hat trick in game 2!

Maybe he's not quite dead.
---

Aw man and he rode my bench tonight

I had Radulov on my bench... damn it
---

Whatever necromancer the Blackhawks paid to resurrect Jonathan Toews, they need to pay him double.
---

That Rangers/Hurricanes game sure was something. Entertaining in a "so this is what it looks like when nobody plays defense and the goaltenders are both godawful" sort of way.
---

Pyjama boy gets his first hattie with the Leafs.
---

And Kane ties it at 5. Entertaining as hell game.

Edit: lol nvm. Way to leave Matthews wide open there.

Edit: AHAHAHAHA Kane immediately responds by tying it AGAIN. This game is on drugs!
---

Cut Sparks right now. Play with an empty net the rest of the game.
---

Never a doubt.
---

That may have been one of the funniest endings to a regular season game I can remember.

GG, david
---

Crazy game, but holy shit is Sparks not an NHL goaltender. Still can't believe the Leafs chose him over McBackup.
---

That Matthews celly that Kane immediately copied was great stuff. Matthews' face after was gold.
---

I'm very confused why Ward started back to back games, but Forsberg was injured earlier, so maybe they were playing it safe.

*Makes another offering to the hockey gods to Crawford getting healthy*

A goal that certainly doesn't count, but one of the most creative efforts at scoring I've ever seen.
---

Amazing.
---

What is the post to have the bots bump this?
---

Marchessault is the only skater on the entire Vegas team that looks like he gives a shit so far this season.
---

One of these days the Blackhawks will play a game that ends in regulation. One of these days.
---

Murray has another concussion.

Come on...

Matthews need to stop scoring or he's going to have a hard time reaching his goal of having more assists than goals this year.
---

The Leafs are going to win/lose every game 7-5 and it's going to be great.

I'm okay with this for relatively new franchises with no other accomplishments.

As long as it's Matthews and Marner scoring for my fantasy team I'm okay with this!

If you've got more than 3 words to describe your banner then there's an issue.

Can't wait for the "Most wins when up by 3 goals with 11 minutes left in the 3rd period" banner.

100% agreed.

No prizes for second place

"Yay we are the best losers!"

Is it too early to get back on the "Vegas isn't good" train?

I've been saying it for the last 12 months, it's bound to come true eventually!
---

Vegas definitely isn't good right now. The defense is nothing short of embarrassing.

I have faith they'll turn it around, though. They're actually looking slightly better each game, and they've had some real bad puck luck. Might be too little too late at that point, though, I'm afraid.
---

I like the cut of Dominik Kahun's jib. He's got the best reaction faces.
---

Auston Matthews can stop scoring now, thanks

9 goals now through 5 games. This powerplay seems good.
---

Last year I was all anti-Vegas and they just kept winning.

This year I'm anti-Leafs sooooooooooo
---

Morgan Rielly also passed Bobby Orr's record for most points by a defenseman through 5 games with 12.
---

And the Leafs might still lose this game, as is tradition this year.
---

Greatest empty netter I've ever seen.
---

The Wings allowed one like that last year too. They're already bad, they don't need that kind of luck as well.

Or the kind of luck that had them hit the same post twice in a row: https://twitter.com/KyleWIIM/status/1050561186163544064
---

The post is clearly the Leafs best defender
---

Hawks have yet to lose in regulation. Unexpected!

The defense is hot garbage and completely blew it tonight, but they're at least Fun Bad.
---

I mean I definitely expected them to be a lot better than they were last year.

I've got them penciled in as "fighting for one of the last couple playoff spots in the central."

And speaking of the central, that division looks like it might be interesting as hell. Nashville and Winnipeg haven't looked as strong as we thought. Chicago and Dallas both look improved. As of now, I feel like every team in that division might, or might not, make the playoffs.
