Devils signed John Hynes to an extension. Makes sense as this upcoming offseason is going to be a rough one with several player contracts coming up as well as Hynes needing a new deal in the offseason for himself. Helps continue stability with head coach and I think reaffirms here that management, specifically Shero should understand that this year isn't all on him.
Hynes can only play the players he's given, and after virtually doing nothing in the offseason to acquire new talent it felt like everyone in the NHL got better while the Devils hovered in idle. It was a serious mistake going into this year thinking Cory would come back and play like he did three-four years ago. Even more by letting guys like Patrick Maroon walk and not addressing serious issues with the defense. Hall seemingly dealing with a nagging injury problem this year also doesn't help. As much as I love Palms, he can't be your main offensive threat.
Just a real shame after making the playoffs last year the team is struggling this hard.

I've been a Lightning fan since 2001 thanks to Vinny Lecavaliar being fun to watch and basically getting me into hockey.
I live in Northern Cali and I'm finally getting to goto my first NHL game at the Shark Tank this Saturday (Sharks vs Lightning). Any tips as a first timer or must see things at the Shark Tank? Is it safe to assume my family and I will be the only Lightning fans there?
Thanks!

Oh goodness that does not look good at all....................................Pettersson injured on a stupidly unnecessary interference move by Kotkaniemi
cancel the Canucks
find Kotakaniemi
build the Trump-Wall with his dead bones

You won't be the only Lightning fans there. I've never been to an NHL game where there hasn't been at least a handful of opposing fans.
It's going to hurt all the more when they choke in the playoffs again.

Hopefully the Lightning won't get any penalties, or you'll see a lot of dorks make chomping motions with their arms.
The game plan on the Canucks has been to just make life miserable for Pettersson. He's drawn a ton of penalties for that reason. But I feel like teams are getting more brazen (Ottawa game was a good example) and refs feel they "can't call everything" so half of the infractions go uncalled. We suffer it, though, because he still produces and usually! goes uninjured. So it's super fucking frustrating when an idiot like Kotkaniemi has zero subtlety to his execution and ends up hurting EP....and still remarkably no call.
Apparently they don't think it's long-term. He won't play Saturday and there's not much word beyond that. I'm going to Vancouver in exactly two weeks to watch the Canucks and Pettersson - confident right now he'll be back in time but man...

14 good seasons to start a career is pretty damn impressive i gotta admit, i wonder how he'll do for the next 20 mid-career seasons?
Pens get their first real test in 8 games tonight. Jets are damn good.
Also, WTF at how good the Lightning are this season. Scary good. Kucherov gonna lift that Cup?
And Ovechkin with 14 straight 30-goal seasons. Legendary.
Hockey's really interesting this season. Really enjoying following it.

As in, you're trying to stream yourself playing something? Is the tough part getting it all set up? Or talking and playing at the same time?
He may just be going to Toronto for an MRI. Their road trip ends tomorrow as well so why not just pull a Melnyk and have him fly back with the team?
It's the same treatment that all star players get and it's an unfortunate part of the game. It makes durable players like Ovechkin and the Sedins look more impressive in that they have/had productive, long careers despite having opposing defenders hanging off them at every opportunity. Unfortunately with Pettersson his size and lack of experience (he is still only a rookie) make him a more vulnerable target, even if he is aware and making an effort to dodge hits (and brace himself if he can't).
EDIT: the effort last night after Pettersson went down should tell us everything we need to know about this team. Yes, Price played very well, but there just wasn't enough finish. Little net presence or high-quality chances, even with all the late power plays. If you count the New Jersey game, that's 4 goals scored in their last 3 games, and 3 of them were by EP. With EP they're a bubble team; without they're a lottery team.
Yo that's a cool computerFinally my backordered shipment of 300 blue LEDs came in and I was able to finish my custom PC rig. Can't wait to fire up some Parkitect and put this bad boy through it's paces!
We all know the Cooper coached Blots are gonna choke at some point in the playoffs.
Green was wrong; he actually said it wasn't a penalty. It was deliberate and reckless interference, watching the puck at the same moment. The consequence was an accident.
Absolutely no malice, though. Just as you said...fucking frustrating.
Lol there are certainly worse ones out there but I'm an Old and I want my PC case to look as much like a featureless grey block of nothing as possible.
The Shark Tank is not exactly an exciting venue, but the arena experience is still pretty fun. Just go and enjoy the game. Based on the Sharks' recent adventures, you will probably get to cheer a lot!
They've played like 5 different goalies already so far this year iirc.
I'm just making fun of the fact that whenever they think something isn't an issue it feels like the injury is 10 times worse.
