These are gorgeous. Come on, NHL Pens, give us a Sunday gold jersey next year.

Another year, another uggo alternate.

IIRC, there will be no alternate jerseys in the NHL this year because of the contract with Adidas.

Good

less complaining about the jerseys

More complaining about the lack of alternate jerseys.

Yeah that's right, though some teams will have special one-offs like Winter Classics and of course Toronto has some heritage jersey. I'm sure they'll have another 20 minute pre-game ceremony to go along with it.

Alts are expected back for the 2018-2019 season and I'm hoping for Sunday golds.

20 years in NC already? I went to a Pens-Canes game in Greensboro their first year. Milan Kraft ftw.

At PPG for the UFC fights and I've seen three different people rocking Golden Knights gear. Weird.

FLEURY IS SUCH A NICE GUY

The Maple Leafs seems to be close to the cap. Is Lupul really so bad right now that they prefer to keep him "injured"? Feels a bit like mistreatment to tell him to not play until the playoffs. Then again - I would be quite happy with getting 3.5 million dollars for doing nothing for a year...

That's just terrible. I lost a friend to leukemia.

This form appears to be treatable with medication, so that’s good news.

I'm assuming that his analysis for every team will be something along the lines of "get to their game."

Winning a couple cups has washed the stink off of the late bylsma era. I remember him more for his successes than what came after. Best of luck, Dan.

He's the John Gruden of hockey coaches. Won with someone else's team, fell on this face, is now sitting in the booth.

Lots of game gettin to and a lot of stretch passing. Also maybe some grinding down of dodints.
