Archibald 2016/2017 NHL Pick thread

[Archie]

lets get it!

 

[Matty]

Toronto Leafs +120 (Pinny)

 

[Archie]

nothing tonight

 

[Matty]

Auston Matthews scores the Leafs' first goal of the season (and his first NHL goal, obviously.)

Leafs Nation just creamed its collective pants.

 

[Matty]

Holy shit, his second goal was sick. He made three or four Sens look like ruhtards.

 

[Matty]

I wonder what odds coulda got on an Auston Matthews hat trick tonight. He's got an excellent shot at it now.

 

[Archie]

come on baby, hat trick debut one time

COMMON

just another kid from Arizona added to the list of great hockey stars out of the grand canyon state

 

[roguejuror]

went through the picks earlier but i don't that was even available

 

[Matty]

OMFG

Hat trick in one period and change

 

[Matty]

Let's make it five, Austonballs. One PP goal plus an empty-netter. Common.

 

[Archie]

I'd like to think this thread provided the impetus for this stellar debut


you're welcome

 

[Matty]

Four!

 

[Archie]

greatest debut in a first game for any athlete in any pro sport ever already

 

[Matty]

Let's make it five, Austonballs. One PP goal plus an empty-netter. Common.

An OT winner would also work, I guess.

 

[Matty]

...and the Leafs still find a way to lose.

Final score: Sens 5 Matthews 4

 

[Mudcat]

Well it's the NHL. There's losing - and there's losing.

Which is to say there's losing - which would be losing - and then there is you-lost-but-we-don't-want-you-feeling-too-hurt. So you get a point. See? You didn't really lose lose.

You get a point.

There there.

 

[Blitty]

Typical for a Good ol' boy to step in and save a franchise 'up there'.
