Don Cherry sacked by Sportsnet. Finally and very well deserved. Could never stand the guy. Dinosaur who thought fighting was an important part of hockey.

He's a goon. But fighting did and sometimes still does serve a purpose within game strategy. It's ridiculous but it is sanctioned by the league still.

Yeah let me clarify what I meant. There is place for fighting, if two players run at each other the whole game and they then fight I have no problem with that, Better than a cheap shot from one of them like Ulf Samuelsson on Cam Neely.

But Stu Grimson fighting Marty McSorley have no matter in the result of the game. Entertaining sometimes maybe but not important for the game.

David Ayres was sitting in the stands with his wife at Scotiabank Arena when Carolina Hurricanes goalie James Reimer went down with an injury. Ayers, the on-call emergency netminder in Toronto, left his seat and got half dressed into his gear on the off-chance something might happen to Carolina’s second option, Petr Mrazek.

Midway through the second period, Ayres noticed his cell phone had started to blow up. What he didn’t realize was Mrazek had been hurt in a scary collision with Maple Leafs forward Kyle Clifford and was down on the ice. The next thing the 42-year-old Zamboni driver knew, he was walking down the tunnel and into the spotlight. And not long after, he had an improbable first NHL win. He is the oldest goalie in NHL history to win his regular-season debut.

Struggling to understand the play off system at moment. Is there a qualifying to a group stage or to a knockout round? 

Good to see hockey back even if its August 😂

There is a play-in to the real playoffs where the teams seeded 5 - 12 play each other in a 5-game series. NHL has done this great so far and probably have an advantage to other major leagues cause they are in Canada.

Ok to watch too; especially with english-speaking commentators and not Shouty McShoutface Niklas Holmgren.

A 56-game season agreed. New divisions for this season. An all Canadian division should be interesting.

Boston-Buffalo-New Jersey-NY Islanders-NY Rangers-Philadelphia-Pittsburgh-Washington

Carolina-Chicago-Columbus-Detroit-Florida-Dallas-Nashville-Tampa Bay

Anaheim-Arizona-Colorado-Minnesota-Los Angeles-Las Vegas-San Jose-St. Louis

Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto-Winnipeg-Edmonton-Calgary-Vancouver
