NHL - 2018/2019 Season - Page 9

Best game of the season could be this evening - my Flames, vs. the Oilers. Flames called up Anthony Peluso to keep Kassian in check. Having Dalton Prout on the ice doesn't hurt, either. The last game was old-school - I was in Banff w/the family - my son had an orchestra concert there next day. We enjoyed, as a family, whilst playing Kaiser! Very Canadian!!

$650M for the Seattle team ... wow. Do you think you'll go to any games?

I was born in Brooklyn. The arena isn't far from where I lived. Basketball gets more time in Brooklyn. The fans out on the Island will support the team, if the ownership group steps up.

As for seeing a game in Seattle - no need. I'm in Calgary! Let them come here.

Seattle and Vancouver will have a nice, natural rivalry. People in Vancouver already yappin' about it.

Those Oilers vs Flames games in the 80's were great. Physical games and both teams did come up on top - Oilers moreso but the Steve Smith goal in his own net in game 7 gave Calgary their chance.

Seattle will probably be in your division. You'll be able to see them in Calgary.

I will probably go to a game in Seattle, it is only 3 hours away, and I like Seattle a lot. Go to a game, go to Dusty Strings.

I read today that the Canucks' rookie Pettersson's 5 point night last night was his second of the season and only the second rookie to have two 5 point nights by Dec. Who was the first? I didn't catch that?

I just checked Gretzky's stats for his rookie year. It's not him. But he did have ten 3 point games, seven 4 point games, and 5, 6, and 7 point games ... just not by Dec. Wow - that's some serious scoring for a rookie.

Been trying to find that first rookie...I don't know who that is.

Pettersson is a joy to watch. His slap shot is blistering, his release is FAST. Hopefully he likes it here in Vancouver and sticks around, although I suspect management will not be letting him go any time soon. He has become a fan fav.

Great that Pettersson is exciting the home crowd. How's Brock Boeser doing this year? Last year we heard about him because he was a contender for rookie of the year but Sportsnet doesn't talk much about the west coast teams - just Toronto.

He was off with a groin injury but is now back and doing well. He is +8; 12 goals and 22 points in 23 games. Got a hat trick Dec. 10., mind you one of them was a pure fluke - it missed the goal, hit the back wall, bounced forward, hit the goalie and went in.

They have him on the line with Petterrson.

I didn't realize that Boeser is doing so well. Sounds like the Canucks are building a great team.

Penguins and Capitals tonight. As always, it's a much hyped game between the two big guys.

Lightning vs. Flames, tomorrow, as well. Some great games coming up. Boeser's a real gem, for the Nucks. Green is the right coach, at the right time, for a team I truly root against, even though I like Travis Green!

Penguins beat the Caps last night! Crosby with a goal and an assist. The highlights showed a couple of roughhousing spots.

Both Bruins and Penguins playing tonight.

catdaddy · #**134** 12-20-2018, 08:56 PM

Pens and Bruins both winners over Western Conference foes tonight. Both with 40 points on the season.

That's good news. Toronto/Montreal/Tampa also won in the Atlantic division so Boston didn't gain there.

Matthews had 4 points for Toronto last night and Marner had 3. What a great pair they make. Nylander has only 2 points in his 7 games back since his holdout ... and they both came in the same game a few games back.
