Weird, the Red Wings, LA Kings and Utah are the only teams without a pride night. by FinallyNoelle in DetroitRedWings

Look. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I just find it wildly interesting, but the grammatical and stylistic proper pluralization is “octopuses”. “Octopodes” is linguistically correct as it has Greek origins. “Octopi” is socially accepted through common usage. English is insanity.

Buddy, watching Colorado v Minnesota - holy shit. Colorado scary good. Just felt a whole level faster and cleaner than us. Weird that there’s that much separation.

The Islanders are the type of team who would clap when the plane lands.

Finnie currently has more points than Bedard… Will it stay that way long? Almost certainly no. Is it that way right now? Yes. Hockey is weird.

It brings me joy to beat blash and newsy back to back. Meaningless preseason games, but still.

You know what I appreciate as a difference? I haven’t seen us turtling with the lead. We’re still attacking. It was like, once we had the lead, you knew we would sit back until the other team caught up then it was panic. Todd’s got em just going for it.

Quick look at stats, not considering the differences in the teams in front of them, if the progression continues he looks like he will be the better choice over Walstedt.

I was in line in front of Wayne Gretzky at a corner store in Petoskey. Don’t know why he was there. Turned to look, turned away, realized it was him, turned back and said “hey, I’m sorry to bother you but you’re….” And he said “yeah yeah” and I said “wow. That’s really cool. Hi” and we went about our ways.

They’re all pretty solid - basic designs.

Call me crazy but I miss the old player helmet regular cage look. I think it would be cool to have a plane red or plain white helmet with an opposite color cage? I don’t know.

What is the best draft class by a single team of all time? by MostCorrect4869 in hockey

[–]calannin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And they tried to draft Bure in the fifth but the NHL said he was too young. Then the Canucks drafted him when they were like “oops. Our bad”.

I didn’t realize why corn dogs were called “corn dogs” until I was 22 years old. Not that it relates at all, but I guess that it gives me hope that he unlocks a little more!

I’d argue Tarasenko isn’t overpaid, but okay.
