Hockey, unpopular among fellow homebrewers?

[Seb]

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!

 

[Tiber_Brew]

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?

[Seb]

Not surprised you're from michigan (and a Wings fan), there's a strong hockey fanbase there, maybe the biggest in the USA.

Here's for the R&D camp : http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/pu...ing-NHL-8217-s-new-rules-test?urn=nhl-wp10865

 

[bjohnson29]

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.

 

[Tiber_Brew]

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.

There may be only a handful of threads, but they're special. Hockey rules.

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.

Anyone ever heard of the BRUINS!!!!

 

[Homercidal]

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....

 

[Gduck]

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.

Forgot about them for a long time until spring 2011.

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.

 

[yodalegomaster]

I love hockey, When you live in the "state of hockey" it rubs off. Go Wild

 

[mr_goodwrench]

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.

 

[MattyIceGfunk]

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

Anyone interested in a fantasy league this year?

most of the hockey talk happens here

There is also a Redwing fanboy thread somewhere so the rest of us don't have to deal with their yakking.

NYR Fan checking in..

 

[goodgodilovebeer]

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!

We take this as a compliment.

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.
