Hi Dru!
Of course I'm following the Pens and Bruins being an Eastern Conference guy. However, I am a big Connor McDavid fan, and so by default I'm now an Oiler fan until the SCF when they face the Pens. I like the Bruins chances this year too. Some really good young players like Pastrnak, McAvoy and Carlo look to give the Bruins a shot of adrenaline. If Marchand can behave himself he might just win a scoring title. Of course Bergeron has been one of my favorite players for a long time. He reminds me of two of the best two-way centers I ever saw, Adam Oates and Ron Francis. Hoping for an exciting and healthy season for all!!

As usual, rooting for my Sens, Dru. Their first game is tonight, sans Karlsson until he's ready from his surgery, which should be soon. My old fav team, the Leafs are looking real good, having beat the Jets last night 7-2. I'm real glad hockey is back!

You should be a really happy Hawks fan this morning. Handing the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pens their worst defeat since 1996 is impressive. On the other hand as a Pens fan I'm not feeling so good.

I'm not a Toronto fan but I see big things coming there.
The Buffalo Sabers are my go to team and it's time for Eichel to quit telling us how good he is and play the game to his potential. I will be a Crosby fan forever (I hope) and I look forward to seeing how his game changes as he ages. Same goes for Chicago Toews and Kane. The Islanders should be improved with Taveres getting Eberle to play with. My prediction Toronto Maple Leafs

I didn't watch the game but it must have been brutal for the Pens. Lots of guys were -5 and -4.

Brutal- yes. I've been following the Pens since 1969. I haven't ever seen a more lopsided game involving the team, and I've watched some pretty bad Pens teams over the years. I think my wife summed it up pretty well when she said to me after the game: "You know, the score could have been worse than 10 to 1 based on how we played."

I’m watching the Vegas vs Dallas game right now. I didn’t know that Marc-André Fleury was traded to the Golden Knights. As a new expansion team, of course they likely won’t do all that well, but with Fleury in the net, they’ll be interesting to watch. I wish him and the team well!

I've been a Leafs fan since the early 60's. Hoping they can get somewhere this year, ya never know.
It's hard getting my hockey fix here in this west Texas desert though, I need to be back in Canada. |

Now...I live near Ottawa, but winter in SW Florida, so I can attest that you have no excuse to not get your hockey fix. No need to be back in Canada (not that that wouldn’t be a good thing)...but it’s a lot cheaper to just subscribe to NHL Center Ice. That’s what I do in Florida. I love getting hockey while there.
