NHL Hockey
Are there any hockey fans around here?
Leafs season starts tonight against the Habs. We'll see if they roll over and die early on again or if they actually manage to do something this year :p |
I do like hockey. Nearest team is the Dallas Stars. My BFF took me to a game last year.
We used to have a hockey team here, The Monroe Mocasins (not NHL), but was a blast to go to! it only lasted about 5 years. I was sad. |
Go Lightning! I am fan go when I can. Desperately wanted to play until I realized I had the coordination of a drunken goose on ice.
|
I :heartbeat: Hockey!!!!!! :) |
I'm a diehard Habs fan. I grew up in Ottawa long before the Senators appeared (but well after the original Ottawa Senators ;) ).
I don't envision that Montreal will get far (they try but rarely get beyond the 1st playoff round). |
Diehard Bruins fan here. I have hope this year....kinda......sorta......
|
Good to see other fans around!
The Leafs beat the Habs 3-2 last night. Off to a good start, so hopefully they can keep it up. |
I grew up in Detroit, so I'm all about the Red Wings!
|
...............go wings!
|
after many years in chicago...i am a blackhawks fan. however only being 45 minutes away from detroit, i like to see the red wings do well. i actually go to a few of their games a year.
|
Go HABS Go!!!! (mautadine!)

Go Vancouver Canucks! (Happy Thanksgiving Day to all the Canadians here at BFP.)

The Leafs gave the Sens a beating on Saturday. A promising start so far, though I'm careful not to get my hopes up. The Leafs of the late 90's are gone, but the last few games suggest another great era might begin. As per usual, if the Leafs, Habs or Sens win the Cup, I'll be more than happy :D They play the Penguins on Wednesday...I'll keep my fingers crossed :p

I love Me some Canucks and My Phoenix Coyotes (who used to be the Winnipeg Jets)

Can't believe how the beginning of the season is turning out for the Leafs. Three games and three wins, last one against the Penguins. It's been a while since I've seen the Leafs in a top spot in the league. Last time I've seen them like this was in the late 90's, cusp of '00. Hopefully they'll be allowed to develop as a team and they won't start breaking up the team/making crazy trades like Pat Quinn did after the Leafs were close to a cup back then.
|
Sorry Habs I know was your homeopener but the Lightning just rock that much.
|
So fourth straight win last night for the Leafs this year and they're first in the league right now. I think it may be safe to shout Go Leafs Go with some confidence as I cross my fingers :p
|
GO CANUCKS!!!!!! :hangloose:
|
HABS fan here! :thumbsup: most laugh at me when i say that, but s'okay! i love 'em anyway! ya know, back when Roy was goalie, i got to meet him, he was pretty cool - went to a HABS game as well, was a pretty awesome time.. anyway, back on track, go HABS go! |
Been a Stars fan for years.. With the recent Detroit Signing of my fave player Mike Modano, Im a lil torn now... :) Love the game, and if Mike can win a cup before he retires well tha would be awesome!
Now to go and buy my new #90 Detroit Red Wings Jersey :) |
Interesting to see how things change. Now the Habs are #1 for the League while the Leafs have dropped to #10. Still a lot of games to play before we get to the playoffs..
|
And now the Leafs have dropped even lower...weird, weird season:blink:

We have a tradition here in the states where the governors of states where teams are fighting for a champoinship bet their team will win and offer something representative of their state as the prize for the winner. Feel up for the challenge? Of course I did my homework before extending the challenge LOL. BOSTON BRUINS VS.

LMAO. So true. I am a die hard, used to disappointment Boston sports fan. We talk big, sometimes, with our fingers crossed behind our backs cuz we remember things like the ball going thru Buckners legs to cost us a World Series. So maybe it would be wiser to just hope for a well played series between 2 evenly matched teams who both fought hard to get to the finals? |
That I will agree with. I'm really hoping for a seven game series as that's more enjoyable and suspenseful.

I had to look those up....just to make sure you weren't pulling my leg. Those are kind of cool. Never saw one before. I can offer you nothing that cool that I can think of. How does salt water taffy grab you? Or a tee shirt? Or a hat? |
Quote:
We can get Salt Water Taffy from New Brunswick. Has to be something unique to Boston. Do they have any of the old time Boston Bruin hockey hats? |
Quote:
Old time Bruin hockey hats....as in baseball caps or Banff knit winter caps? |

Let me see what I can find and you can decide LOL. You are still in California right? |
Quote:
Yup. :) But I can always find something unique from Vancouver to send you via the internet. ;) Maybe something from the Olympics? (hat, mitts or something) |
