re: 2022 NHL Season Thread

What the hell are these Edmonton Oilers jerseys? Is that a meteor for a logo.

Please stop messing with perfection.

It's their shitty Reverse Retro jerseys that also sucked 2 decades ago. I thought it was some ridiculous comet that was shot off of some spaceship in Star Wars.

There are actually many of their fans on Twitter and YouTube that like these monstrosities.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NHL POWER RANKINGS

LINK

1. Boston Bruins (16-2-0)

Previous rank: 2

Indestructible: The Bruins shrugged aside droves of doubters, a coaching change, and injuries to star players over the offseason to find themselves atop the league standings. Boston's core simply refuses to take a step back.



2. New Jersey Devils (15-3-0)

Previous rank: 3

Juggernaut: The Devils are the best team in the league in terms of expected goals for and expected goals against per 60 minutes at five-on-five. They're also riding a 12-game winning streak, so it's hard to believe they're not for real.



3. Vegas Golden Knights (14-4-1)

Previous rank: 1

Healthy: Injuries severely hampered the Golden Knights last season, causing the franchise to miss the playoffs for the first time ever. Now that Vegas has all of its key players on the ice, the team's playing like the powerhouse we expected it to be.


4. Dallas Stars (11-5-2)

Previous rank: 5

Balanced: The Stars have four 20-point forwards, none of whom average more than 17 minutes per night. This Dallas squad has plenty of candidates up front to take over any game.


5. Colorado Avalanche (10-5-1)

Previous rank: 6

Stellar: While it's a bit concerning that the Avalanche sit in the bottom third of the NHL in expected goals for percentage, the defending champions are among the league's best clubs by most other measures. Goaltending was a question mark entering the season, but Alexandar Georgiev and Pavel Francouz have excelled so far.


that is your top 5.


29. Arizona Coyotes (6-9-1)

Previous rank: 30

Embarrassing: As far as the on-ice product goes, things could be a lot worse for the obviously tanking Coyotes. But playing at a 5,000-seat college rink - which they're not even selling out every night - is a stain on the NHL.


and this is why i fade these crappy teams


31. San Jose Sharks (6-11-3)

Previous rank: 31

Karlsson: Hockey is a team sport, but perhaps no single player in the NHL has done more team-carrying this season than the Sharks' lone bright spot, Erik Karlsson. With 28 points in 20 games - 11 more than the team's next-best player - the 32-year-old isn't only becoming worthy of Norris Trophy consideration: He's also deserving of some Hart Trophy recognition.


32. Anaheim Ducks (5-12-1)

Previous rank: 28

Yikes: Everyone knows the Ducks are still rebuilding, but Anaheim was expected to take a step forward in 2022-23 with Calder Trophy runner-up Trevor Zegras developing further, along with the offseason additions of Ryan Strome and John Klingberg. There are still plenty of games left, but to say this team isn't making progress would be an understatement.

devils up 5-2 late 3rd

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$



13 straight wins for devils. unreal. so much money to be made on these top teams this year.

boston winning yet again.

see what vegas does tonight.

Wild game in Vancouver tonight.

No score halfway through the game.

3 goals in 4 minutes and the Knights take a 2-1 lead into the 3rd.

Cue the craziest damn 3rd period I've seen in some time.

Canucks score 3 times in 6 minutes to take a 4-2 lead.

VGK come back with 2 goals in 2 minutes to tie it at 4.

With 10 minutes left, VGK appear to take the lead but the goal is waved off. Replays show that the puck hit a camera that was situated in a hole along the glass and that play should have been blown dead.

VGK come back and score with just under 6 minutes left, then hang on for a 5-4 comeback win as the Canucks blow yet another 3rd period lead.
