abcd1234 Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 The NHL is officaially back and while is is great to be seeing hockey on TV again, it feels a little weird with all the powerplays that there are. It was also very weird seeing a team come back and win after being down 4 goals (Dallas). I think it will take some getting used to but I am just glad I can follow hockey again.
ET Warrior Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 I was very put-out by some of the effects of the new changes. I certainly think LA getting 16 penalties in a game, and only 1 of those was a fight is pretty ridiculous. It really feels like they're penalizing you for TRYING to defend players most of the time, and I don't like that, because I'm afraid hockey will become a game of who has the hotter all-star. Hopefully that's not the case. It was good to see hockey, but I still am harboring resentment towards it for last seasons lockout. I'm not even really disappointed that my avs lost their first game, I just don't feel that into it yet. Hopefully some of these rotten feelings disapate as the season progresses.
BigTeddyPaul Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 It is going to be a long season. 5-1 loss ouch. The overall worst thing ever to happen to hockey was not the lockout but the fact that ESPN no longer carries it. I get to watch something like 5 games this year on ABC or whatever. RaRRRRARRRARARARRR BTP
coupes. Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Montréal beat Boston 2-1 ! Yay. I don't have cable though, so I had to go watch at a "resto-bar", God the beer was expensive ! But hockey is back !

RaRRRRARRRARARARRR BTP You are not missing much with it being on OLN. I never thought I would miss the greaseball that is Barry Melrose, but sure enough, seeing hockey on OLN has made me wish he was back.

You must have played the Red Wings. I know they won 5-1
Darth333 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Montréal beat Boston 2-1 ! Yay. Are you sure it wasn't the beer? Hehe anyways, if only it could last
coupes. Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Are you sure it wasn't the beer? Hehe anyways, if only it could last Hehe! It'll last They won another one on the road tonight 4-3 (OT) against NYR. Ryder played hero again with 2 goals.
Prime Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Is there a list of the rule changes anywhere? http://www.nhl.com/nhlhq/cba/rules_changes072205.html Go Sens and Oil!
Master_Ginn Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 yeah, i lot of the calls were rediculous. Defense can't hardly do anything except poke check. They changed too many rules at one time, making it not the game that I love. Plus my team is so different, and our announcers were crap. They didn't tell us why people were'nt playing and all other kinds of stuff, so I really feel distant from hockey.
