I'm not a huge NHL fan...after all we have the Panthers...we haven't had an NHL team in years. Let's hear it for those of us that still play. Men's league is better than no league.

Best sport without a motor! Fast, exciting, and they get to pummel each other, get a two minute rest, then they get a stick and go back out and do it again. Awesome sport.

O, Woe is me!!
Not much ice around here, and basketball is just too much running back and forth and too much stopping of the damn clock. How the last 4.3 seconds can take 32 minutes is a real mystery, and quite boring!
Tennis, on the other hand, now that's good television! B)

I grew up in the Boston area, and the Bobby Orr era was during my high school and college years. When the Bruins were the denizens of the basement every year, we could get tickets, and we went to games. What fun, booing referees like Bruce Hood and Bill Friday. What pain watching Teddy Green crumple to the ice. What a trip watching Orr, Sanderson, Westfall, rag the puck like it was on a string. What joy when Esposito picked up another "garbage goal." What GLORY with the Stanley Cup finding its way back to Boston. It was a great time to be a Bruins fan.
I moved to Atlanta in 1973 and it was easy to get tickets to watch the Atlanta Flames at the Omni. I went to lots of games, and got to see the Bruins from first class seats several times in 1973 and 1974. Boom Boom Geoffrion was the Flames coach. How great was that?
Stayed in the south for along time, and Hockey wasn't on TV nor covered in the newspapers, so there was no way to be a serious fan.
In 1989 we moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan.... and three great things followed. First, got season tickets at the blue line on the glass in the end Michigan defended twice and another set of season tickets over in the corner a few rows up from the glass in the end Michigan attacked twice.
Second, the Red Wings were on TV just about every game, and the Detroit Free Press had great coverage of NHL in general. Third, and maybe the biggest deal, we were close enough to Winsor to pick up Hockey Night in Canada... what a great resource compared to media in the US, at least as far as Hockey was concerned.
Moved some more, but ended up in Nashville concurrent with the Predators. Thought about buying season tickets, but the games are just too frequent, and we live too far away for it to be worthwhile, especially with all the TV coverage available today (Vs., for example).
I am not a fan of any particular team. Before the Gary Bettman - Craig Leopold Strike era, I was a fan of the game and would watch any two teams play at any time.
The strike year showed me I could live without it and enjoy a lot of other things even more than Hockey.
When they came back, I briefly went back into serious fan mode, bought lots of tickets, etc.... but soon became incredibly bored with their dumbass scheduling. In order to minimize their travel costs after the strike, the schedule was changed so that we just about never saw any original six teams except Detroit and Chicago, and we also ended up playing the teams in our Division so often that it became really really tiresome. The question "who are they playing next Tuesday," was answered with "Detroit, Chicago, Columbus, or St. Louis" most of the time. I hated it.
So.... I am less a fan of the game today, and not a fan of any particular team. If Boston, Detroit, Calgary (old Atlanta franchise) or Nashville do well, I feel good about it. Probably also get warm fuzzy feelings when Edmonton does well...., although the Harry Sinden / Glen Sather fishing trades seemed to always go Edmonton's way, and when Pocklington dealt Gretzky to LA, I felt as deep a whole in my heart as anyone who lived in Alberta.
I will watch games this year. The whole thing seems to become more and more like a soap opera though. And the guys like Chris Pronger, Todd Bertuzzi, etc. who don't seem to have any respect for other people's careers make it harder to watch too.

Attributed to Ernest Hemmingway: "There are only three real sports. Mountain climbing, bull fighting, and motorsports."
I know that for me MotoGP has become the sports passion. Maybe Hemmingway was on to something.

Yeah, I agree. The cheer leaders and the shovel girls do not get near enough TV coverage. Its the one thing that's better in person than on the tele.
And just try to get your TV to dispense a funnel cake... can't be done with current technology :drinks: .

Preds got their butts kicked last night. Was it because the shovel girls and cheerleaders were all at home with you? Or did you attend one of their weddings....
Okay, how have all you Geezers been able to get these pics of yourselves with honeys like this? Been seeing a lot of it lately, and I it's killin' me. All I ever get is pics of forum dudes and bikes.
Back to hockey. I was a big fan in my youth. Originally from Manitoba, but a Montreal fan in my formative years - late 60's-early 70's. Lived near St. Louis and hadda put up with Blues fans.
Back to Geezers. Anybody recognize these fellows? ... Makes me feel ancient.

I met a hockey loving Cop today. My daughter had a hockey practice so we took the bike. Her hockey bag is like a back-pack and it has a stick holder across the top. So it's after practice and we're riding home. A nice brown Crown Vic coming at me all of a sudden it's grill lights up flashing RED. I'm the only other vehicle so I know it's me. I pull over and hand my lisence to the nice man.
He say's are you late for a game?
No sir just heading home from my daughters practice.
MMMM i see . You were doing 116 kms in an 80, that's $271.00 fine .
Yes sir.

Yes Sir!
putt putt putt
Was I ever lucky.
