View Full Version : Hockey is Back !!!!!!
Not that many will care, but the best sport and the best players on the planet will be back on my TV. Being a life long St. Louis Blues fan, which is the NHL equivalent to being a Chicago Cubs fan, I can't wait to see them back on the ice and hopefully make a run to the Cup which will ultimately end in their usual heartbreaking fashion. I've been feenin for some NHL action and now that billionaires are done fighting with millionaires it will be back again.
I'm not a woman and don't feel the need to be courted in order to win back my affection. I'm ready for some as$ kicking action and I can't wait for the gloves to fly.trr

Fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the update, that kind of news does not make it on to Televisa here.
And on that note my university/tequila hockey league starts up in a couple weeks. I just need to figure out how to get my shoulders back in their respective sockets and I'm ready to go too!!!!

Go leafs go!
BTW, how can you expect to win with a name like "the blues"?I've been questioning that my whole life. When you name your team after a state of depression what the hell do you expect? That used to drive my old man crazy when I would ask him that. He would explain that they were named after the heavy Blues Music influence that St. Louis has. I remember my mom making me go to bed early when the games were still being played on the westcoast and I would sneak my AM transistor radio into the bed and put on my earbuds and listen to Dan Kelly and Ken Wilson call the games. I couldn't control myself and I'd be sreaming when they would score or a fight was happening and man mom would come in there and give me the business, dad would laugh because it was the same stuff he did at my age. Mom never understood and still doesn't. lol
The opening and closing of every Blues game on the radio and at the arena before and after the games is this song.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CmUrjSbLXg
To this day where ever I'm at, no matter what I'm doing, if I hear "The March of the St. Louis Blues" by Glenn Miller I get goose bumps. There was a point in time that if someone in my family died during a Blues game they better put them on ice until the game was over, because Dad, Grandpa, and I were watching hockey. It was a way of life in my family and god help me if these bastards ever win the Cup. I'll cry uncontrollably like a little girl. Damn how I love this game!!!!

Hockey never left. The NHL left. Why does everyone mix those two up. Ignorance is rampant again.
I hope folks here can understand the difference between a trike and a quad and between hockey and the F'n NHL.
Head down to your local rink and watch some pee wee action. Support the sport not the corporation.

As a fan of the game I also enjoy a good high school game or watching my buddies kids play, but when they start doing the things NHLer's can, then you can start comparing the two. Sorry if I don't live in Hockey land like you do. Just like a three wheeler enthusiast, the hockey fan is persecuted for the most part in my area so to me the NHL is a big thing and its also a huge part of my families traditions with members of it who are no longer with me. So to put it lightly I take offense to your "Ignorance" comment and in the good taste of the website, I'll keep to my self what I really want to say to you.

I coach, I ref, I play, my daughter plays, AND I also enjoy watching the best of the best play and that doesn’t happen when a bunch of greedy fools start arguing over more money than I can comprehend, so yea, Hockey was gone, at least the highest level of it.

My two cents; I'm Canadian and I can't stand the NHL. Who gives a rat's azz that they're back! My son played hockey for many years and I enjoyed watching them give it their all for a few pats on the back and some applause. Add to the fact that we still have natural ice arenas in this area and that makes for awesome grassroots hockey. These overpaid buffoons (players and owners) should make a decent wage but not more than than the average joe; after all it's the job/profession they choose and should be treated as such.

We life in a free market society. An individual can only make as much as someone is willing to pay them and if that’s not enough they have the option of starting their own business. To dislike this is to dislike capitalism. You are lucky to still have some outdoor rinks. That is something every kid should experience.

In the next week or so, I look forward to once again hearing the golden voice of Mike Lange say, "It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh."
This is much needed in my neck of the woods considering the Steelers didn't make the playoffs and the Pirates are, well.... the Pirates.
It's a great time to be a Penguins fan, though. With Fleury in goal and the top two lines still in place, this could be another championship year.

My daughter and I will be going to watch the Blues scrimmage tonight and this will be her first live NHL action. Its pretty special to see how excited she is to go and watch them. I remember my grandpa pulling me out of school and going to watch the Blue's training camp back in the 80's. He had season tickets for the first 15 or so years and knew all the players and coaches. We would walk in and it was like a family reunion for him. Bobby Plager would sit there and talk to him like a long lost brother. It was pretty amazing as a 7-8 year old kid watching Grandpa schmooze with former Blue's greats.
This is a pretty special night that I will remember the rest of my life and I hope she can tell her kids about it one day.

The Blues took The Detoilet Redwings out back behind the woodshed and gave them a good ole fashion as$ whoopin. I haven't been able to say that since the 80's.

Haha! Actually, you could have said “What are the odds that the ONLY Sens fan and the ONLY Jets fan in all of Mexico live within a few miles of each other?”. In other coincidental news we both ride dirt and street bikes as well. Needless to say this guy is my best friend down here.
FYI: There are quite a few Mexican NHL hockey fans in Mexico, they just don’t cheer for the Sens or the Jets. Sky sells a lot of NHL Season Pass packages and we’ve had the 600 seat rink fill out a few times for Junior games. We've even had a couple scouts come down from Dallas to see some of the kids play.

The bigger problem here is that by doing this I will curse the Hawks (My horses don’t just lose, they usually have to be put down on the track). Say yes and it’s on!

Breaking News: AP reports that Webster’s has updated it’s illustrated dictionary to include a photo of the 2012 Maple Leafs next to the word ‘Choke’
Only to be shortly replaced by the St. Louis Blues.
Of course the Hawks get a soft Wild team only to be rewarded with an even softer Nancy Wings team. Meanwhile, the Kings and Blues beat each others brains in and now the Kings get the Sharks who will continue with the beating on each other. Hopefully the Sharks get caught sleeping coming off their sweep of the Sedin Sisters and get taken out quick by the Kings.
I hate the Kings so much right now, but love the way they constantly lean on their opponents and break them down. I hope to see them and the Hawks in the finals. I want to Kings to mame and dismember the Hawks so bad right now I can taste it.

Keep hoping, the Hawks will be well rested.
I can see both LA-SJ and CHI-DET going seven. I am actually looking forward to the LA-SJ series. Both those teams dislike each other and it could be a bloodbath. Even after the non-surpising expected early dismissal of the Blues, I will continue to watch as much as I can, because there is nothing like Playoff Hockey.

Well, well 3 to 1 for the Hawks. Oh, sorry I mean 2 to 1. Bet those refs were happy the Hawks won it, if it had gone the other way they'd have needed a police escort to get out of Chitown. I've only see one Kings game (Tuesday), but they look strong, the Hawks are going to have a tough time in LA.
That is what I get get for rooting for the Wings. The Hawks haven't had to play a team yet that Goon's it up like the Kings and people in Chicago will form a new hatered for a guy like Dustin Brown. I hope this series is a bloodbath and maybe Kane and Brown will both get mamed and disfigured. Oh well here's to lots of blood and permanent injuries.:beer

That series is seriously jacked up! Tell me I’m wrong, but with the exception of game two have the Pens not out played the heck out of them? I’ll turn my TV tonight expecting a blowout win for the Pens (forth time’s the charm) but with the momentum the Bruins have I’m sure I’ll be left rubbing my eyes and wondering WTF went wrong…again.
I'm wondering if Boston is not a team of destiny after rising from the dead in the 3rd period of gm7 against the Leaf's? These whole playoffs have been jacked. St. Louis outplayed LA for most of that series, but couldn't hit an empty net if their life depended on it and then Quick would stand on his head the other shots against. Had he played like this against the Blues they would have been swept, but we can play what if all day long. Just because my hatred for the Hawks runs so deep, they will pull it off just to spite me and the fact they are a damn good team.lol

The Bruins had Toews covered like a mattress in this series and that seemed to give Kane and others a little more freedom to fly out there. I just hope Kane gets his off-ice act together and becomes a role model and not a front page embarrassment for the league. I don’t particularly like or dislike either team, but Toews is from my hometown and given what those kids pulled off at the beginning of the season I figured they deserved to win it all.
