Denis Potvin helped take the Isles to their 4 cups.

They still chant that to this day. With or without the Islanders being present.

Avery fucking rules. He's just awesome day in and day out. Every team could use a guy like him.

Yep.

The Devils fans chant "Rangers Suck" at every Devils home game, to the same exact tune of the "Potvin Sucks" chant, with or without the Rangers being present.

That Bruins 3rd jersey does not really look like an official jersey. Meaning, its like when you see a kid wearing some fake jersey made by some random company. Like it would have the wild logo but like drawn to look 3d, but the stripes would be wrong, and made out of t-shirt material. Not authentic looking design.

I don't mind the use of 3rd jerseys myself, it does not help making a team recognizable though. But for the bruins, its not like the old Bear head jersey where it no longer looks like the same team. Or the oilers Gear jersey. If I see that on the ice, I know its the bruins. Its black and yellow.

yeah, the oil drop one for the Oilers was pretty meh.

Very odd defense pairings tonight:

White/Mottau
Oduya/Martin
Salvador/Greene

I don't understand pairing Oduya and Martin, unless they're trying to do a Russian-style five man unit where they go out with the top line to step on the offensive gas.

Nice play, Elias. Add to not clearing the fucking puck by leaving the back door pass open.

The oil drop is their standard logo. The gear was a way for them to see how they could modernize it, since they haven't really changed the logo since they got into the league. I like the third jersey, I own one.

I'm about ready for the Devils to play a team they respect so they stop playing down and taking nights off. I can't believe they're giving points away to the fucking Southeast by not showing up.

I suspect it's been a long time since the Devils have yielded over 100 shots in 3 games. That's just a pathetic ass effort. Mother fuckers are lucky the deadline wasn't a week later.
