NHL Hockey - Page 6

Hockey lover, here!

I have a few favorite teams: the Canucks, the Wild, and the Blackhawks. I try to catch a Habs game here and there, as well. Canucks are my #1 however.

Here in Portland we have a minor league (WHL) team, The Portland Winterhawks. Not the greatest team ever, but in a city with no NHL franchise, it's nice to be able to go out and see a game.

Recently, the Canucks pulled their main goaltender, Luongo, for a few games and were using their backup, Cory Schneider. A lot of people were upset about that, but Schneider has done fantastic for someone not having much ice-time with the Canucks. He even had 2 consecutive shutouts a few games back. Unfortunately, Schneids had a bad start last night, so they stuck Luongo back in the net at 2nd period. It was a pretty intense game (surprisingly), but in the end we lost 6-5 against *deep breath* The Predators. Blah.

I grew up in Boston, so I'm a Bruins fan. Went to college in Pittsburgh, followed the Pens. They play in Boston over Turkey weekend, and again before Christmas. Which game should I go to?

Well, I think the better question will be is: are they going to strike or be locked out? http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2012/8/2...-cba-christmas
