Any hockey fans out there?

Blackhawk fan here. We’ll be back!! But it might take a few more years.

Nah, there's plenty to look forward to this year. If we stay healthy we can make post season. Then next year the fun begins when we gain $14m in buyout cap space

Those contracts are still killing them.

Another disappointing season watching the Wild I guess. *cue the “I’ve got no more effs to give” song*

Looks like you were wrong. Best in the league. Heck yeah. Let's go Wild!!!!

God they're looking good this year. What's more shocking is how little personnel change they've had from last year, and yet they're doing so much better

Result of a young team and a good coach. Wait, nevermind, I think I just learned from the football thread that coaching doesn't matter?

Every year starts like this for the Wild, I’m still gonna play the role of the long-suffering fan!

Yup, must be a minnesota thing. Good enough to be relevant every year but not good enough to play at the high level.

Maybe this year will be different, one can only hope and just enjoy the ride right now. It sure is fun watching this team. That kap to rossi to boldy goal last night was a thing of beauty.

Not last year! I don't think I recent memory we've had this great of a start, and we've never had a super star leading the league

On a plane in route to Vegas for the huge game tomorrow.

The Gus Bus has been horrible the last two games allowing 4 and 6 goals. I was scared as a result that tonight against the Sharks it may be Fleury but so far early indication is Gus.

I REALLY WANNA SEE FLEURY tomorrow in that Vegas crowd atmosphere - would be his last game there. Don't screw it up Hynes!

I’d recommend getting to the arena early to see the pregame show. Pretty impressive. They’ll probably do a “welcome back” for Fleury and the home crowd will surely show him their appreciation. They did that for one of our players when the Canes were there.

Pretty good chance if gus gets beat up again. Can't believe how many D we have lost. Just when we were finally starting to get healthy

Fleury was a question mark last game, must be over his illness?

My Pens are bipolar again. Not sure what they are doing in the back offices, but we get good guys, then trade them away. It's crazy. Beginning to feel like the Pirates over took the management for the Pens.

The Vegas Golden Knights were in first place of the entire NHL then lost to the NY Islanders who are 2nd to last in the Metro division 0-4

How early? Game start is set for 5pst. Normally that means actual puck drop at 510pst. We were planning on arriving around 4pst

Back to back nights for Fleury? Wtf Hynes.....you realize that starting Fleury tomorrow is like having home ice right? As every save the crowd chants FLEURY
