Just did a research for hockey threads and saw only a handfull.

Are we a minority in this message board?

Being from Montréal you'll understand I'm an avid Habs fan!
 
Can't speak for everyone else, but I'm a huge hockey fan. I support the sport itself first and foremost, but I'm a die hard Wing Nut. Go Wings!

Anyone hear of the proposed rule changes in the NHL this coming season?

Lifelong Pens fan checking in. I know they're talking about a number of changes: removing the trapezoid, adjusting OT, curved end boards (to prevent pacioretty-type injuries) but im not sure whats going to happen. I think they just finished the R&D camp, so im sure there will be more to come.
 
I also heard they're trying some rules that will increase the power play advantage. One surprising change they tried was not allowing the PK to ice the puck when clearing.
 
I love hockey, just wish I had the opportunity to:

A: work for Sharks Radio Network again
B: Mix audio for Fox Sports again.
C: have the $$ to attend a game or two.
D: have the ca$h to visit the nearby brewpub that always carries the games.


Go Sharks!!!!!
 
I am (unfortunately) a Caps season ticket holder. Because of this, I must drink a lot of beer, especially in the post season. I have just started home brewing, so now I can drown my sorrows of another choke with my delicious home brews!

The best thing about going to weekend Caps games is getting to go to RFD ( http://www.lovethebeer.com/beer-list.html click on the weekly draft list) and having some real tasty beers before the puck drop.

2 years ago I went to a trip to California to watch the habs play against the Kings, the Sharks and the Ducks.

I must say that I absolutely LOVED the HP Pavillon. You guys got great fans.
 
I enjoy hockey and would trade the Blazers for a hockey team in a heartbeat. I use to do cable work at the Sharks arena so they are the team a root for.
 
I heard the league might test out a slightly shallower net, and add a second line behind the goal line to make it easier to tell if a puck has crossed.

I'd love for them to get rid of the trapezoid, but only if the goalie gets to take a hit outside the crease. ;)

On second thought, they can get rid of them anyway.

I also heard they were going to test curved glass where the players benches are, and have them spring loaded to help prevent the injuries.

I'm not a HUGE hockey fan. Just spent a few minutes this morning looking up the schedule for the Wings' prospect camp and training camps.... :mug:
 
I love hockey, despite being continually disappointed being a Sabres fan and all. I also play hockey, though not terribly well, but damn I always have fun playing. Plus when the game is over we crack open beers in the locker room.

+1

I play goalie and defense, although I'm no superstar. It's such a fun sport to play. So active, fast paced, physical, mental, and above all - most of the guys (and sometimes girls) are really awesome people.
 
Die hard Sabres fan here... and Gduck, I have a feeling that we will be very pleased this season.

As for the hockey threads, I am not as active on the forums as I used to what with a new house and all... never really get into hockey threads here anyways.

True, I know a lot of people from MN, and they all play and watch hockey. I went to a Wild/Wings game at the Xcel center last season, and I must say I was impressed. Very nice venue you guys have. It's nice not having to get mugged on your way in like @ the Joe. Of course, all the fans were "Minnesota nice" even though the Wings won.
 
Flames fan checking in. Ever since Sutter was replaced it seems we're in "re-building mode"...God help us. Although we did pretty good during the second half of last season

Suck it Sutter!
 
I love hockey also, and I'm for any team with a Newfoundlander on it. Loved it when Ryder got the cup last year. This weekend he is bringing it home to Bonavista, and I can't make it :-(

As a habs fan, I hated it for so many reasons.

NYR! Love hockey played it for 17 years as a goalie in AAA. Live in San Diego now so not many games are televised here especially my beloved RANGERS!

Go Caps!!!... Until the playoffs that is. :(

C'mon now, have a little faith. THN picked the Caps to win it all, and with the more defensive style and all the changes GMGM made this summer I think we can really do it. Of course, I thought that after the trade deadline this year too...
 
Hockey is the best. I live in RI but am a Lightning fan. I lived in Tampa when they became a franchise. Basketball - give them pads and let them go at it and then you MIGHT have a sport.
 
Oh, I LOVE hockey! It's my favorite sport.

Here's a picture of my team from a couple of years ago:

I'm in the front, right in the middle, with a bright green stick.
 
hey gang... I'm going to be putting my Hockey Jersey Collection on EBay soon.
I was wondering if anyone here would be looking for size XXXXG Pro Player Jerseys.
1- Original Logo Phoenix Coyotes
1- Original Logo Atlanta Thrashers
1- Original Logo Pittsburgh Penguins.

All in excellent condition. In airtight storage since 2001.
I lost so much weight.. so they would be freaky huge on me.

pm if you want. Pix and post in classifieds later.

Well they made the more defensive style last year too and we see how that went. I wish Varlamov would have kept healthy. He could have been amazing. I think Sasha needs to step it up big time and same with Green or I would like to see them dealt by mid season. Backstrom looked like crap in the playoffs too but I think that's a guy we(Ovechkin) needs no matter what.
 
Ill be honest, I dont think you have much room to complain about varlamov...neuvirth played amazing last year.

Yeah, Neuvy is great. Plus we picked up Vokoun for a song. I like Holtby, but I'm glad we're not relying on him as part of a goalie tandem quite yet.

As for the more defensive style, that's what I meant about last year. December was so rotten and then the guys settled into things, I loved Jason Arnott, and by mid-March I was really optimistic. Then we did so well against the Rangers, and I was even more optimistic. And then they hit Tampa and I just don't even think about that series anymore. Hopefully this time we can keep it together.
