Anyone else see the Coaches Corner opening on Tuesday where they showed Crosby and McKinnon hitting water bottles? They cant be real can it? They both take turns. McKinnon starts off and hits all three. For the third on he breaks the water bottle. Crosby misses one then hits three in a row and for his third one, not only break the water bottle with the puck but also break the glass behind the net. Unbelievable!

Pretty amazing, all right.  Must be those new sticks they're using!

Philly loses again ...that's 2 goals in like 3 games?

3 goals. They haven't been shut out, but they haven't managed to score more than once in a game yet either.

If Dion made that giveaway, we'd never hear the end of it.

Bernier would have had that.

Reimer would be blamed for that.

I think we're kind of making the same point.

Let's take this even more serious if we can.

Early candidate for worst goal of the year (shorthanded no less):

Wow, the Sharks are just pounding teams so far.

Thomas Hertl (still a teenager!) scored 4 times including what will probably be the goal of the year for #4:  Link

Yeah, I've been to all the reg season and preseason home games so far, they have been impressive. 

Hertl could be streaking here, but damn does he have a nose for the net, if he sticks with Thornton he's probably a lock for the Calder.

Four goals in just 11:12 of ice time, no less.

Don't think he saw the ice again after his last goal.

So people have talked about Tomas Hertl's 4 goal game and in particular the spectacular fourth goal he scored and it appears as though Adam Oates took some issue with it:

?I?m upset. I was just talking to George [McPhee] and he said all the kids do that nowadays, which I understand. But would he have done it on his first goal?? Oates said. ?He hasn?t scored yet tonight and he gets a breakaway, is he going to do that on his breakaway? We?ll see.

?I think it was a little bit of a mood thing, which I?m sure they talked about, because they didn?t play him after that,? Oates continued. ?I?m glad the coach did that because this league, it will bite you if you?re not sharp. Don?t disrespect the league. I?m sure it was a rookie mistake.?

However, Joe Thornton came to Hertl's defense today in a hilarious, unprintable NSFW-language way:

That's hilarious.

Oates sounds like a pouting little boy. It was a beautiful goal and it worked. The league needs more of that, not less.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

That's going to be one happy rooster if he ever scores 4.

 

[OldTimeHockey]

The point isn't whether or not he'd do it on the first goal or not Mr. Oates.

It wasn't his first goal. It was the fourth..In a 7-2 hockey game. Atleast he made it difficult and challenging.
