I am surprised there is no thread on this yet. Is anyone else TOTALLY excited that hockey is back (Oct 5 baby, well pre-season actually but none of that matters).

I am the most obsessed hockey fan, I would scare you with my playoff rituals and crazy game reactions, lol!

GO VANCOUVER!! ALL THE WAY BABY!! LOL

Anyone else excited?

And it looks like the STREAK is over for the Predators. Columbus beat them tonight 3-2, hading the Pred's their first loss of the season.

Of ALL the teams to lose against, how ironic!

At least they STILL grabbed a point out this matchup and they still have not lost in regulation.

What is with these no-loss teams losing to crappy teams, first Carolina ends Ottawa's no loss streak and now Columbus ends their first loss....STRANGE!

Mitch, I think it has to do with the better teams as in Nashville and Ottawa in this case overlooking Carolina and Columbus and the fact that the two bad teams had the chance of making themseleves feel better even though their team isnt doing too well this season as long as they beat an undefeated team. Columbus and Carolina probably played their hearts out while Nashville and Ottawa just didnt care and half assed the whole game. I watched more than half of the game and the Preds looked awful the whole night, like they thought they had the win before they even started to play. Even though they lost at least they got a point for the OT loss.

Ouch Colorado killed Vancouver. Hopefully next game it's all Canucks.

Happy the Sens won, but I'll miss the Toronto game sadly.

Oh man, my Canucks were slaughtered out there in Dever, poor guys. I knew they wouldn't win this one, too much pressure and eagerness to get this game over with (considering the media hooplas surrounding it).

Now that it is past them, I expect the REAL Canucks team to come out on Saturday and take the Divealanche to task.

On the whole though, despite the score, Canucks outshot the Avalanche and they set a Vancouver Canuck record by not allowing the Avalanche a SINGLE shot on goal through the entire 3rd period (too bad they didn't play this well in the 1st and 2nd cause if they had they would have OWNED the Av's)

Did any of you guys see Jason Spezza's OT winner last night against Montreal? It was beautiful!!! Can't wait for the Ottawa/Toronto game! GO SENS GO!

Spezza's awesome (I met him once lol) that goal was beautiful!

I have to listen to the Toronto game at work but whatever, I hope we kill them.

That Spezza goal was the goal of the season so far. The way he undressed was it Souray for the Habs? OMG That is what I call hockey. Sens in T.O to face the Leafs on HNIC. I cannot wait

Two AWESOME games on HNIC tonight! Sens VS. Laffs and Canucks VS. Avalanche, probably the two biggest rivalries in hockey!

I didn't watch that Sens game but I know it was brutal for Toronto fans...yikes TO needs help.

And the Vancouver game angered me. Before Arnette charged into Cloutier a penalty should've been called. That goal shouldn't have happened.

Great game between Colorado & Vancouver. I love when these 2 play. Too bad the Nucks couldn't win.

I loved the Ottawa/Toronto game...we kicked the leafs but. It couldn't have happened to a better team!

GO SENS GO!

Yah too bad the Nucks lost, but at LEAST they stole a point in this game and are still 5PTS up on the Avs and 4PTS up on the Wild.

How about that ass kicking the SENS gave to T.O.? LMAO Totally awesome.

Toronto really had surprised me out of the gate with their play and then came along a stinker like last nights game. Man those Sens are on a flying roll. Even as a Leaf fan I am technically supposed to hate the Sens but lol I cannot hate a team that is so friggin skilled. Leafs hopefully can rebound against Florida but lol if they don't improve their play against divisional teams like Ottawa well it could be a long season in T.O.... we shall see what the month of November brings.

It was a rough few games for my Sabres, but they rebounded themselves with a 6-4 comeback win over the Isles.

They play their next 14 games over 28 days. It should be interesting to see how the team holds up.
