Who’s ready for some hockey? Let me rephrase that, who’s ready for some HABS HOCKEY?!!! No more pre-season. No more predictions. No more patience. The puck has dropped, the season has started, and starting now anything goes.
- I wonder who’s going to open the scoring today? I bet it’s Pacioretty. It’s always Pacioretty.
- Ah yes, the refs quickly blow their whistles to stop a perpetrator in his tracks, halting a scourge on the modern NHL to call...a face-off violation. I like the NHL’s priorities.
- No slouches themselves, the Habs respond by gifting the Sabres with an equally dangerous delay of game penalty (courtesy of Ales Hemsky sending a puck over the glass).
