    Question for Islanders fans, how do you feel about Tavares at this point?
    Do you feel he's going to be worth that #1 overall? Do you think he's overrated?

    I thought before his draft that he was going to be Dave Andreychuk 2.0. A center in junior, who because of poor skating, will be converted to wing and provide a great majority of his offense with the man advantage.

    The few games I've seen this year his skating has really hindered him.

    Thoughts?

      I wonder how Red Wing fans care at all? The team hasn't missed the playoffs in about 50 billion years and they've had a lot of success in the Playoffs.

      If the Canucks win the Stanley Cup this season, my interest, even for the Playoffs the following season would decrease.
      A quarter through the season, you're sitting in the 8th seed, and you "know" your team will be in the playoffs? OK...

        You think the Canucks are going to miss to the playoffs? Want to bet on it?

          No, I just don't like the Canucks at all and hope they collapse.

            It's a similar deal with the Flyers. We've made the playoffs like 16 of the past 17 years (and the year we did miss, we had the worst record in the NHL so it was a given from about midseason on that we weren't going to make the postseason). But we've made things interesting the last few times we qualified for the playoffs, placing 7th last year and 6th 3 years ago so we were by no means a shoo-in.

            The regular season isn't as interesting until it starts getting later in the year, but that's what happens when you play 82 games. Some mean more then others, even if they all count the same.

            Who ever decided to play so many games in a season, anyway? We all accept that football plays once a week because that's how its always been, but we could never shorten the season (at least not drastically) now because it's too late. I wouldn't be opposed, though.

              Sharks looked great tonight. When they play physical they are tough to beat. And welcome back Crank Shaft!

                Flyers with the best record in the NHL currently.

                Damn it, it's still November!

                But, I'm glad they've started out fast. If we want to be a Stanley Cup contender, we have to look like one from Day 1 on. Not always going to make those Cinderella runs.

                    Another good 3rd period from the Bruins last night as they scored three times for the victory. Recchi got his 1,500 point, as well.

                      I'm guessing these will be the forwards and Goaltenders at the upcoming U-20 WJC for Team Russia.

                      Kuznetsov - Galiev - Tarasenko
                      Kabanov - Kokhlachev - Yakupov
                      Konozov - Namestikov - Avtsin
                      Kitsyn - Kuchin - Tochitskii

                      Goalies:
                      Igor Bobkov
                      Ramis Sadikov

                        Ryan Wilson absolutely sucks.

                          And he keeps playing instead of Holos is just mind boggling.

                          Shattenkirk is having a great game tonight.


                          Edit: Horrible final minute, deserved to lose after that.

                            What a play by Eberle and nice shot Hall. And a great win for the Oilers.

                              I just got back Scott. No need to rub salt in the wound!
