Very good game. Rest wasn't as impressive as the 1st though but it's fine. Tkachuk directly contributed to two goals, Dube with a wicked snipe on his goal and Mangiapane was the best player on either team for the back half of the game. Spun on Quinn Hughes then drove to the front of the net on one occasion, fed Gio a backdoor pass on another and went behind the back to Dube on the second goal. Markstrom with a shutout is always nice as well. Tonight's standouts were Matthew Tkachuk, Dillon Dube, Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, Andrew Mangiapane, Mark Giordano, Chris Tanev, Noah Hanifin, Juuso Valimaki, Nikita Nesterov and Jacob Markstrom

EDIT: 9 pages in a day, is it unrealistic to set a goal of 500 by year's end?

As long as they're real burgers and not that fake stuff.

Better goaltending performance tonight: Price or Markstrom?

Both were excellent.

Hard too say, IMO just goes to show how good Markstrom really is despite changing teams

Didn't have high expectations tbh but he's been great. I though separating from Ian Clark and his systems in Vancouver would hurt him but thankfully not.

Sorokin lol

FeelsBadMan

pretty sure Varlie had the worst night after that head shot.

Dobson had a really bad game, it doesnt matter hes really young and talented but watch hickey end up in that spot. Really nice to hear barry criticize ross and also happy that leo didnt end up playing.
Sorokin didnt get any help from his team. There were some goals he shouldnt have let in (especially the 2nd buch goal) but he had some moments where he showed why there was so much hype. He has to work on some stuff (positioning, getting used to a smaller rink) stuff like that but he showed promise.
It would be really nice to see wahlstrom in there and hopefully varlys back soon.

If the season ended today Maxime Comtois would share the Rocket

Detroit is in a playoff spot

I love early season stats lmao

Koskinen looked okay-ish and the defence in front of him didn’t really help
Price played great, Montreal did a good job of neutralizing Edmonton’s top players, Petry and the Tatar-Danault-Gallagher line did really well, this is the kind of game that if Montreal plays it the whole season they’ll make the playoffs

Better you than me. You have my support as the Wild rep on here.

As a side note this thread is going to get really long, is there a cap on how many pages a thread can be for these forums?

Well I’ve seen threads with over 80 pages so I don’t think so

That would be an awesome goal!😅 500 by end of season?

Can I add you to the list?!

Agree sabres coach takes the young guys out sometimes after bad games and it's ruins confidence and they are harder to get back on track....

I can add you as well! We need multiple opinions!

LFG BRO! PANTHERS OPENER IS FINALLY HAPPENING! AND IT'S THE ONLY GAME ON AT 7 PM SO EVERYONE WILL BE FORCED TO WATCH IT!

Or we can just not watch hockey

Who are they playing?
Everyone's gonna be watching for the other team ...or Barkov and Huby

They’re playing the 0-2 rebuilding blackhawks

Oh...can't wait to see the tv numbers on that one 😳

Buds played well. Brodie was sound defensively, first line was on fire.

Game Score:
92/100

One of the only downsides was nick robs injury, other than that, the game was fairly sound.

I say play campbell and give freddy some competition to force him to be his best if he wants to keep his job.

We may disagree now and then but I, for one, always appreciate hearing your takes

So far your favoritism of Lundell over Rossi has been validated. It's still really early but still!

I think I'm a Lundell fan over Rossi as well, 2bh what Lundell was doing in Europe earlier this year was pretty special.

I still think Rossi is gonna be a 1C, he’s just so talented
