Alright, maybe I misjudged Boston. They played their best game of the year last night against Tampa. I feel everyone played well in front of Rayzor, although he still did have to come up with some big saves he shouldn’t have to make. It’s early, but I think they may just be OK. Speaking of early, I have a few observations on the new NHL I’d like to share.
– Hal Gill Sucks. He is the worst player in the NHL. He was horrible when he was allowed to clutch and grab, now that his game has been taken away; he is making me physically ill. If Boston is getting scored on chances are excellent number 25 is standing there watching it all happen with that not so bright look on his face.
-I like the no 2 line pass rule. A couple of times last night John Grahame hit someone in stride at the far blue line while he was in his crease. I think Rick DiPietro will have at least 6 helpers this year.
-Where is all the emotion? I realize the fighting will be down because of the rules, but where are the scrums after the whistle? I have seen one good face wash, and I am not happy about it.
-Joe Thornton needs to take the bull by the horns and lead the team in Boston. Oh, and shoot the fucking puck.
-Sidney Crosby is legit. I was very impressed with him Saturday against Boston, and he looked great against Buffalo last night as well. Great passer. I feel he will be tops in the league in assists this year. Someone needs to watch his luggage a bit better.
-Where are the fights? I saw three Friday night. There was none in any of the games yesterday. If I wanted European Hockey, I’d move to Sweden.
-NHL Center Ice is overwhelming. I forgot how difficult it is to choose what game to watch. I may run a poll on this.
That’s all for now. Friday night is the Lowell Lockmonsters opener. I will be in the house, and will provide blow by blow if there is any. Any more observations, let ’em fly!
I with you on Hal Gill, brother.Completely useless in every possible way.
you are my idea…hal gill blows.
