Why do these Toronto games go right up until our airtime even when they end in regulation? ####ing start your games on time.

Looks like the Blues are having their way with Vegas. 23-6 in shots half way through. Honeymoon about to end?

[FireGilbert]

Arizona loses again. They are almost halfway to the record of 17 losses to start a season.

This Vegas team is like the Bad News Bears, they shouldn't be competing let alone winning. Up 2-1 on STL with a rookie goalie and a rag tag group of cast offs.

[Machiavelli]

They could have two starting goalies down to injury, though

[FireGilbert]

Wow Vegas won despite being outshot 49-22 and having to rely on two rookie goalies.

That team is magical. It seems inevitable they'll drop off, but holy I want them to keep surprising everyone, it's so much fun.

After their seven game home stand I think we start to see reality kick in for Vegas

[FireGilbert]

Vegas is showing you can be successful with great coaching, hot goaltending, and a bunch of players with something to prove. Their schedule has been super easy so far though and they will fall back to earth soon.

My expectations for the Knights have changed. Initially I had them as a shoo-in for last in the league but now I'm thinking 6th in the Pacific and 25th overall.

More likely a bunch of unsustainable luck.

There's a 10 game losing streak coming up.

They will finish last or very close to it IMO.

Prior to the 2014-15 season, that was a huge problem. Since Rogers took over, it's been no problem. There is no risk of missing the Flames or other western game because there's always another channel to put the game on. City, SN1, or SN360 would've shown the Wild-Flames game from the start if the Leafs-Sens game went into OT/SO.

That was a good Sat. night of hockey. The battle of Ontario was fun and it was great to see the Sens bend but not break when the Leafs mounted a comeback. The parade planning has been stopped as the Sens win 6-3. That Johnny Oduya brain freeze pass in the Sens zone ended up working out. Brassard and Stone each had 3 points.

The Bruins had great offense with Marchand and Pastrnak scoring 2 goals each and led 3-0 and 4-1. The Sabres came back and won 5-4 in OT, O'Reiley with the GWG. The Penguins must have partied hard the night before as the Lightning beat them 7-1. Couture gets the hattrick in a losing cause, Isles beat the Sharks 5-3.

Reimer faced 44 shots from the Capitals, the Panthers on the road won 4-1. Dustin Brown with a 4 point game as the Kings beat the BJs 6-4 and they have not lost in reg time this season. Stars won 4-2 with Pitlick scoring 2 goals. The Rangers end their losing streak by defeating the Predators 4-2.
