So glad its back, even though its not like a usual year, still very happy. I dont know, with a shorter season anything can happen. I would say a team that normally suffers from injuries would have harder time to survive in the shorter season. Already there are a bunch of teams at the top of their division that I would not have expected to be there.

@stevenanto :Yeah, shorter season definitely worse for teams that have more injuries. I think Toronto Calgary and Montreal will top North, Tampa Columbus and Dallas in central, Boston Washington and Buffalo in East, and Colorado Las Vegas St Louis in West.

let's hope Toronto can take advantage of this shorten season and division realignment 🙂

@CFPartDeux :Ahahaha, even if you hate Toronto, gotta say Jason Spezza 3rd goal tonight was killer determination.

Huberdot goal tonight incredible too.

The Jets 3rd sweater this year pretty good:

Montreal 3rd sweater this year is disgusting:

Just confusing to associate blue with the Canadiens...

All of his goals were pretty nice, actually, but then Vancouver has some SERIOUS problems on defense. 😮

Well, clearly beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because I actually quite like Mtl.'s "reverse retro" jerseys. When I saw T.O.'s 3rd jersey the other day, at first I kinda liked them, but then I got a closer look, and they were rather bland, and that Jets thing above is EVEN worse, and I generally like grey! 🤮 😂

@CFPartDeux :Haha yeah Vancouver serious problems for sure, and their whale sweater the least of their problems.

Eye of the beholder for sure, still won't ever get used to royal blue for Montreal, grey can get used to because it is bland and not as loud - loud like those bright green Seattle Seahawks sweaters haha.

Are these the Toronto 3rd sweaters?

With teams only playing in their own divisions, it’s hard to know how the divisions match up. I’m a Leaf fan so hoping they do well but wonder how they match up with the best of other divisions

I cant believe Montreal lost to Ottawa lol

Re: Hockey Night in Canada!!!

@stevenanto :Yeah Ottawa gonna suck this year and for few years haha.

Re: Hockey Night in Canada!!!

TheGx — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 20:10:01 GMT

@Pipcan :Yeah, will be difficult for sure to assess them when playing only their own divisions, Toronto will top their division for sure. But when playoffs here it'll still be Tampa Bay and Boston getting furthest.

Well, you look at it and see Vancouver spanked Ottawa, Montreal spanked Vancouver, so naturally you'd assume Montreal would spank Ottawa, BUT, Montreal wasn't sharp, weren't fightin' for it as much as all the rest of their games, AND Ottawa's goalie played pretty well(if the TV guys are to be believed, apparently one of, if not the only, good games he's had since Ottawa got him). That, and as the TV guys pointed out, all their games last year were close, so it's just one of those oddities that are hard to explain..... 🤔

Agreed - only playing these same teams over & over isn't a true indication of how a team actually stacks up.

Toronto will top their division for sure.

Maybe.... we'll see.....

But when playoffs here it'll still be Tampa Bay and Boston getting furthest.

See above. 😉

Hmmm, and the last I saw of it, it was 2-1 Edm., after having spent ~85% of the 1st period in Calgary's end..... guess they woke up in the 2nd and/or 3rd..... 🤔

TheGx — Sun, 07 Feb 2021 19:31:28 GMT

@CFPartDeux :Yeah in first Calgary had too many penalties couldn't get going, they got going and didn't let up pressure all second and third - don't understand why NHL didn't make this a Battle of Alberta series instead of single game.

As CFPartDeux was saying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, here are all those retro jerseys:

All these retros are pretty good, especially LA Anaheim Quebec Washington Buffalo both New York's and of course Calgary.

Can't stand Montreal as said before, and can't stand Arizona Columbus Las Vegas - can't handle Montreal in blue and St Louis in orange and Las Vegas symbol is to plain compared too their original designs.
