Damn, that's AWESOME!

Canucks have been kicking ass (6-0), too bad it's only the pre-season.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Go Isles!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I feel a resurgence this year. I heard about it on a commercial or something.

Should be an interesting year, one in which I hope will culminate with a Stanley Cup for the Montreal Canadiens in their 100th season. That would be the ultimate.

Go Isles!

I went to the preason game the other night vs the Devils...it's going to be a long season. Good news is that there is a lot of kids playing, so they may not win often, but it should be fun to watch. And if these guys learn to play as a team, they should be pretty good in the future.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Leafs are gonna suck!

<--broken record... and heart

Fuck, was it that bad?

You are correct, sir.

With the young dynamic duo of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, plus defensemen like Duncan Keith and new additions Brian Campbell and Cristobal Huet, the 'Hawks will most definitely make the playoffs and are maybe a year or two away from seriously contending for the Cup.

And this pleases me, as I think a strong team in the Windy City would be very beneficial for hockey in general.

However, they will never be able to compete with the Wolves, sadly.

Mid way through the 3rd period Comrie gave me his uniform, so I played the last 10 minutes. I was named 3rd star. I don't even know how to skate, man.

Hockey
Sometimes you just have to appreciate someone getting drilled.


I'm sooo looking forward to this season. I'm not sure why exactly, but I'll settle for less losses than have been the usual of late

not just "someone": That sumbitch getting beat down = Darcy Tucker.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I can't remember, where is everybody's favourite goon now anyway?

 

[UberBeaver]

Colorado?

 

[BoMac]

Yes.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yet another reason to dislike the Avalanche...

devoted


I do adopt other teams though from time to time just so I can cheer at the tv instead of yelling or being too depressd to bother yelling.


I think it's funny you hate Tucker that much and P named her dog Tucker, remind me to bring that up in November

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I don't hate him as much as some here... He at least played with some passion, like an idiot most of the time, but a passionate idiot nonetheless...

yeah, sorry, I meant UberHater

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

it's all good, I was just rambling as usual

 

[kafrun]

Go Leafs

That is all.

 

[No spoken words]

I'll never hate a hockey player as much as I hate Dale fucking Hunter. I don't care that he's retired, whatever, I hate him.

 

[Screwtape2]

This will be my first season of watching hockey.

Any teams or players I should watch for?

 

[snowbunny00774]

Remind me to bring you to a Knights game if you visit

Indeed

Last year wasn't a fluke so here's hoping...

I know the pre-season doesn't count for much but it's got to be a confidence-builder to have beat the Stanley Cup champions in both games last week.
