2015-2016 NHL Thread

With training camp days away, figured we could close the book on last year's thread and start this year's.
 
Pacioretty named captain of the Habs after a player vote.  Can't go wrong with that choice, although I'm somewhat surprised it's not Subban.

I'm not. I think the players recognize some of the stuff that he does on the ice, and realize that he's probably not the best player to have as the guy they have talking to the officials about plays that didn't go their way.
 
Does Pacioretty speak French? Or have they given up on that?

Because watching Brian Gionta struggle through a very simple French paragraph that had been written for him remains one of the funnier things I've seen as a hockey fan.
 
Josh Ho-Sang showed up late to the 1st day of training camp and immediately got sent back to the OHL.  For a guy with some attitude/character issues who didn't really have all that great of a post-draft year season that's not really a good way to build up your stock in an organization.

Read that he has a French teacher (as does Subban).  Not sure if it's of their own accord or if the team asked them too though.

This is a stupid kid IMO and can't get over himself.  How many of us on here would just die to be in his position with the talent that he has?  I would have been at the rink 2hrs ahead of time.  He was probably out partying the night before or something.  He deserves to not make the NHL if he keeps this crap up.

I don't really get the story. The picture was already going around social media and then someone decided to blackmail him with it? So I guess it was "around" social media but only on private pages?

Either way, no, Jagr doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who'd care if people know this.

Also, what exactly are they trying to blackmail him about here? He's not married, she's of legal age. There's nothing here that would really damage him if it got out.

I'd guess the fact that she's apparently dating another player and that 43 year olds sleeping with teenagers is, if not illegal, somewhat frowned upon in some circles.
 
Pavol Habera and Daniela Pestova parody the Jagr.

The Ducks have Vitaly Vishnevsky at their training camp on a PTO. Played with the "Mighty Ducks" from 1999 to 2006. Left the NHL for the KHL after the 07/08 season. He was always kind of a personal favourite of mine in the EA games. Very surprised to see that he's only 35 years old, didn't realize that he was so young when he played for the Ducks. Anyway, just kind of a weird blast from the past. Would be awesome to see him in the NHL again but I'm pretty sure he's a long-shot to earn a deal.
