Baseball can't end soon enough, football is great and all - but now things really get fun. The NHL season is underway, and I couldn't be happier.

I just wish I had some extra cash for the NHL center ice package.

Gooooooo Devils!

Did you like the new Sabres jerseys?? I kinda like em.

 

[Echo]

Plus they won!

 

[MMcG]

Yep!

At least they are back to close to their original colors. Those grey, white, red and black jereseys just didn't go with the Sabres.

I think they should go Retro with their third jersey and sport the navy blue and gold colors again. And definitely they need to sport those socks with about a zillion gold stripes running across them.

Yea, I think so. Definitely better than the previous ones.

Go Blackhawks! I have NHL Center Ice (Thanx wifey!). 40 games a week! Anyone want to buy some bikes, some hockey gear, a stereo, a dog, 3 kids, probably some other stuff too. No time, gotta watch tv!

 

[MMcG]

JohnE - I feel sorry for you that you are a Blackhawks fan. That's even worse than being a Bruins fan. (that oughta get splat and others riled up a bit!)

Im a Blackhawks fan as well, but I only see them play a couple times a year. When they play the predators I make sure to go to the game, sporting my blackhawks jersey. That said, I also like the Predators, and they're stacked this year. They should easily make the playoffs.

...but the Blackhawks well, who knows?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Did T.O. play last night?

 

[JohnE]

I know, pity me. I was born into it though. As a kid, my Pops worked for the Hawks. I got to see alot of games back then. The Mikita through early Savard days, when the organIzation actually seemd to care about winning...I also like the Cubs...
Thinking about therapy

 

[JohnE]

Oh yeah, I was going to poke you about the Whalers, but the damn 'Cames did okay last year I guess. If you like winning and stuff...

 

[MMcG]

I used to love to watch Denis Savard play! His spinorama move was awesome!!!

 

[JohnE]

Savvy was who I wanted to be as a kid (Along with about 9 million other skaters!). Ever see the video where he went coast to coast (to score) against the Oilers? I think he threw the spin on Charlie Huddy at the blueline. Pat Foley about shat himself!

That's even worse than being a Bruins fan. (that oughta get splat and others riled up a bit!)

Hey the B's didn't lose last night at least!!

 

[MMcG]

Hey the B's didn't lose last night at least!!

Did they play last night?

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I pull for the Sharks, but is the season over yet?



Please say yes!!!!


I can do without the NHL & NBA

 

[llkoolkeg]

A season of cheering for the miserable Orioles has ended and but for the joy of Cowboys football, my season of cheering for the miserable Capitals would complete my misery 3-way.

 

[stevew]

I predict the Flyers to suck in the playoffs.

Barry Melrose ripped the new jerseys on ESPN last night, apparently oblivious to the irony of making such a commentary while rocking a pinkish suit jacket and greasy two-tone mullet.

 

[JohnE]

My wife loves his mullet...thinks he should go with the full on ponytail.

 

[MMcG]

Melrose! hahaha - who buys his suits?

Does Brian Engblomb still commentate at all? Now there's a classic balding mullet if ever there was one!

Go Habs! :biggrin:

 

[Munster]

Hopefully they can accomplish something in the playoffs this season.

 

[MMcG]

Not with Martin Gerber in nets they won't!

I think he'll be better for them than Ray Emory. Maybe not in the long term, but Ray is too green for NHL playoff-level hockey.

 

[MMcG]

I'm just hoping Christobal Huet and David Abischer have good years between the pipes in Montreal.

 

[Munster]

I think he'll be better for them than Ray Emory. Maybe not in the long term, but Ray is too green for NHL playoff-level hockey.

Funny thing is, Emery has almost 3 times the playoff minutes Gerber has.

The Sens weakness has always been toughness and "grit" or the "will to win". When they don't win, everyone seems to end up blaming the goalie come off-season time.

 

[jacksonpt]

perhaps, but he doesn't have much big game experience. Gerber had been in some very big international play and performed well. I think that gives him a leg up on Emery.

We have the Ottawa affiliate here in town so I saw a lot of Emery over the last few years. I think he'll be a solid NHL goalie... just needs to grow a bit.
