Best sport on the planet is about to begin anew...

Pre-season starts this weekend!

BREAKING: Blues sign Steen to a four-year, $23 million contract extension ($5.75 AAV).

— Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) September 23, 2016


w00t! Steen's probably one of the best 2-way forward in the league... but, that definitely signals that the Blues won't be able to resign Kevin Shattenkirk .

Boston fans, who you got to trade?

I'm off to the United Center tonight to see the Blackhawks open up their regular season. I was bummed when they didn't make it to the Cup finals last year, but man, they needed a rest after their deep Post Season runs...and Cup victories!...of the last 6 or so seasons. I'm looking forward to a rested and healthy Blackhawk team bringing the Waaagh this year!

I understand that Games Workshop has really turned a corner this year, but I think wargaming has been doing pretty well throughout. Certainly saying that it is about to begin anew is a bit exaggerated.

Oh, to be a Leafs fan. To have your star no. 1 pick score a record-setting four(!) goals in his NHL debut, and still manage to lose the game.

Anyway, Go Nucks!

And those 4 goals are not cheap goals either.

Good for the leafs!

The Blues beat the Blackhawks yesterday!

Blues won their home opener v. the Wilds 3-2.

New guy Yakupov scored his first goal... that dude has some serious wheels.

Anyways, I was absolutely revolted by the officiating in the season opener for Detroit/Tampa last night. Detroit got 2 PP's the whole game, and one of those was a 32 second power play... Hell, the ref's were even putting our guys in the box for Tampa's penalty. At least we were able to enjoy the giant middle finger Vanek gave to Minnesota last night, scoring two goals right off the bat.

I think he's tired from all the Post Season and Stanley Cup action the Hawks have had the past few seasons. It's been 8 years since the dance for you guys right? I think we've won 3 Cups since then. That's okay, the Red Wings look good this year...sitting at the bottom of their division!

Hossa put in #500 tonight!!! Booyah!!

Good to know...If I'm ever down that way again during the hockey season I'll be sure to bring my blue sweater

Also hoping for the Nucks to get a cup this year.

Post only relevant at time of reply. Intentional moving of the goal line, 2 minutes in the box.

Ahh, I get it. We're playing by the rules that the Ref's hold the Wings to. Unfair expectations to give everyone else a leg up.

Now, now, don't get all sulky. As both teams are squared atm, record-wise, how about a gentleman's bet for who goes farthest this year? Loser makes model donation to whoever is doing a charity raffle painting effort on the boards?

With the Blues and Nashville in your Division, that might be a fair bet. Counters Tampa and Florida for us. Lets say one troop choice?

Done. Remember, it's who goes the furthest. In case of a tie...unlikely, but theoretically possible...both of us send a troop choice to a charity raffle effort. It's for charity after all, and therefore, a very good thing.

4 Straight wins for Detroit now. They are certainly starting to fire on all cylinders.

Only question I have is when they're going to make Mrazek the back up he still needs to be.

Didn't the Habs start out hot last season and not make the playoffs?

The Wing's defense looks fast and pretty solid. The Blues shot a fethton, but the Wing's defense did a great job limiting the 2nd/3rd chances.

Just a question WTF is wrong with the NHL? David Pastrnak just got a 2 game suspension.


Giraldi drops his head and takes it in the chest and head and Pasta (who is about a half foot shorter) gets a 2 game suspension? Fething stupid

I was on Washington St when the puck dropped last night. Wasnt in a situation to get some tickets unfortunately. Loved that shootout though. Zetterberg once again sticking it to the Blues.
