NHL Hockey Talk thread
We're about 10 games into the 2015-2016 NHL hockey season so it's time to start a thread. I know we've got a few fans here.
Who you rooting for? What story lines are grabbing your attention? Go Bruins and Penguins! |

Go Sens. Although there not playing too bad, their terrific surge at the end of last season hasn't really carried over to this season, but there's lots of hockey to play. I think they'll make the playoffs.
As for my former favourite team, the Leafs.....I no longer care. Not going well so far. I wonder how Babcock is feeling coaching such a loser.

Of course it's very early in the season but I was surprised by the poor start of the Blue Jackets and the subsequent firing of their coach, Todd Richards. Also surprised by Crosby's slow start. He'd only scored points in one of the Pens first nine games. Of course I was pleased that my wife and I were in attendance at that particular game but still it's been a bit disconcerting as a Pens fan to see Sid struggling so much thus far. He picked up a couple of points against Buffalo on Thursday so maybe he's coming around.

JPD - Starting off the season 9-0 was a fantastic run. Even better is that all games were decided in regulation. I'm not a Habs fan but it makes for good hockey. |

The Caps seem to be doing well. They've been playing tough, playoff-style hockey in October rather than their usual open, run-&-gun style.

Pens have won 7 of their last 8. Don't worry about Crosby, he'll be fine. He's flying around like he always does, making plays and everyone around him better. Remember they're still shuffling lines with a bunch of new players; I think Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz, Dupuis and Bennett are the only forwards that have been with the team for a complete season at this point.

Way to go, Bruins. They've turned it around after an 0-3 start. Marchand has 2 points in each of the last 3 games. I just wish he'd stop those stupid plays like pushing someone into the boards. The guy can play hockey.

One thing that is obvious to me is that when someone puts on the Canadiens jersey they play their hearts out. By contrast, when someone puts on the Leafs jersey they don't try as hard (like "I've made it"). Hopefully Babcock can change that. Gilmour could show them a lesson or two.

How about Benn and Seguin for Dallas? They're doing it again and having a great season.
Can't believe that Condon, Montreal's backup goalie, has better numbers than Price, who is out injured. |

Plain and simple.....Marc Andre Fleury is the main reason that the Pens have had any success so far this season. While the season is young, anyone who doesn't realize this just isn't paying any attention. Go Flower!

Outstanding start for the Habs. Going to be interesting to see what they can do without Price in goal. Good start last night though against the Jets.
Go HABS!

I do expect to see continuing improvement in the Pens play as the large number of new players start to develop better chemistry.
