The Official 2020-2021 Season Talk Thread

Jackets and Dubois seem to be on bad terms.

Laine future in Winnipeg uncertain.

Do we dare see a Laine for Dubois swap?

I like hockey again.

5-4 Leafs in OT after trailing throughout the game, down 3-1 at one point.

Andersen still looks shaky, hopefully he gets over that slump quick.

Funny story, I played Leafs vs Habs earlier today and it ended 5-4 Leafs in a SO.

Aside from Ottawa ending up in the basement, I have no read whatsoever on the "North" Division. These are all seriously flawed teams. I think Calgary has the highest ceiling if Markstrom stays healthy and maintains his form of the last two seasons.

Are the Avs sporting brighter-colored jerseys this year or is my TV's color balance off? Looks different from last year.

Avs changed their pants & helmet from black to bright blue.

That opening "announcement" by the ref before the center ice puck drop for the Pens/Flyers was cringe worthy. What in THE hell was that?

"Stay safe"? Do we really need to hear this even at a hockey game? Just shut up already and let's play and show the sport that you're paid to do.

Leafs/Habs had over 2m viewers for their game. The largest audience ever for a SN exclusive game.

Canucks and Oilers with over 1m in their game.

Sharks up on the Coyotes 2-0 after the first period. Both goals came from Tomas Hertl.

Also, I learned tonight that Patrick Marleau is 44 games away from having played the most regular season games of all-time.

Gordie Howe- 1767
Mark Messier- 1756
Jaromir Jagr- 1733
Ron Francis- 1731
Patrick Marleau- 1724
