Come up to the UP! We have a great beer league! I'm old, too, but not too fat, yet! I have two games tomorrow AM so I plan on being dead tomorrow evening.

It might be a little too far to drive after work for a beer game

I actually play up there twice a year at the Berry Center for tourneys.
Which translates into "I go up to drink twice a year".
Though, next year, i'll probably only play in February as my "farewell tour"

We're also playing in the St. Ignace Pond Hockey Championship.
Which, of course translates into "i'm going to get drunk in St. Ignace in February"...

I'm pretty sure we're going to skate in the Eagle River Pond Hockey Championship this year. We get kind of screwed though- women's teams aren't broken into age divisions. So our over-40 team plays against college players. We still suck for over-40 but we REALLY suck when you compare us to college players!

Oh that sucks!
This is our first time playing there, so I don't know what the other teams are like.
I've heard that the over 30 teams are usually either very good, or they're us.

Are there alot of women teams that show up?

Oh, yeah, I think there are alot. Not nearly as many as men, of course. But it makes the bar ratios alot more fun for us!

Well that just helped me make the decision on whether to bring SWMBO with me or not.

I love beer league hockey! It helps that my team, the Pylons, have won the championship 3 times in the last four years.

Hey Sabres Brewer, you going to Hawks/Sabres game Saturday?
Patrick Kane returns home to Buffalo for first time.
Wow, that kid is a stud, very fun to watch.

Cheers to new era in Chicago!

 

[xjiefx]

I was at the habs vs Tampa game on tuesday!!! THe home team (mtl) lost in S/O... Good game overall, but the canadiens are not so good this year... again. They got all in place to be good but nothing is happening! They had a great start but now they just plain suck!

Go Habs Go... WIN God dammit, WIN!!!

I have a sweet scar from a hockey stick going through my cheek at a 'pick-up' hockey game. A kid I went to school with road by on his 3-wheeler and saw us playing but didn't have his skates. Unfortunately that didn't stop him and when he swung his feet went out from under him and his stick came over the top and hit me in the face. Ahh youth.............sometimes it a miracle we survive it.

I freakin wish! That kid is nuts but I no doubt could skate circles around him. Ill be watching hoping we can shut him down.

What's with the new logo?

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

There were rumors it was because of the whole Adelphia thing. Their colors were black and red so they were getting rid of the bad mojo that almost killed the franchise. Also they knew the Sabres would be an amazing team that year and everyone would want their stuff so they changed the logo and all the people with old stuff bought new and people just bought new stuff because they jumped on the wagon. Either way it was genius because the Sabres lead the league in merchandise sold.

Also I think its more of a fast speedy looking logo compared to our old "goat". The goat was agressive and mean looking but its more about speed now and that what the team was/is about.

 

[RICLARK]

anyone hear about the Las Vegas Expansion they are trying to make. They need to leave it alone in my opinion. It already pisses me off that the wings dont play the bruins or leafs this year!we dont need another team.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

Havent heard but doesn't surprise me. I have already said to people the schedule seems kind of funny this year i wonder if their playin around with it experimenting for expansion. Thanks adds to my ego some more.

Well, the board of governors met at pebble beach a couple of weeks ago and said that they will allow the western confrence to play the east more next year to maybe get some of the origional six rivalries back. Hope it happens! I dont even have a Redwings and Avalanche Rivalry anymore!

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

Didnt they meet last year and decide the exact opposite? No matter I love beating up on the western conference!

Cmon you need to accept the fact that the Wings own the Eastern Conferance!lol

I do have to admit I love watching Ryan Miller play Used to go watch him when he played for the spartans He is just awesome in the net!

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

Ya the wings are damn good. They should get moved to the eastern conference lol

Actually Buffalo had a sub par visit to the west this year but it happens sometimes.

You hate to see the crazy scheduling that happens with big road trips like that. As much as I want to see it, the more the east plays the west the season either gets extended, BEST THING EVER, or the schedule gets more crammed and the quality of games goes down and teams fall victim to their schedule.

I second that, I just hope your sabres can stop them Flyers God I hate that team!

 

[ytsejam]

I'll 2nd the Flyers hatred!
With the new jerseys and such, I'm just glad the Hawks' stayed mostly the same.
Best jersey in all of sports!
Here's to a good game between Hawks & Sabres tonight!
Cheers!



edit: On the pregame show they showed Byfuglien wearing Kane's jersey and signing stuff for fans.
Kane - 5' 10", 165lbs, white
Byfuglien - 6' 3", 250lbs, black
Classic!

Chicago trades Jim Vandermeer to Philly for Ben Eager.
Vandy was my favorite Blackhawk.
I'm crushed.
I need a beer.

Anyone else ever had their favorite player traded away?

I'm sure this will all go over easier for me if Eager beats on Tootoo tomorrow night.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

I had half my team traded away last year. Chris Drury AND Daniel Briere. Not to mention Marty Biron. It was a sad year in many respects.

Ya what was up with that move did they need cap room?

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

I guess we couldnt afford Briere (not so sure because Briere did want to stay) and Drury wanted to play for the Rangers( the team he grew up with). But I sure do miss being number one!

 

[ytsejam]

Yeah, I forgot about the Sabres fire-sale of 2006.
I don't get to see too much eastern conference hockey here.

I'm not as bummed about the CHI-PHI trade as I was last night.
Hopefully Eager will beat on Tootoo. I'll be an instant fan then!
I know I can't be the only one here that hates that guy (Tootoo).

 

[RICLARK]

Well my Wings Win again the Kings aren't very good this year we just need to figure out the damn hawks now.

 

[ytsejam]

Gaborik had 5 goals and one assist tonight.
Monster of a game.
WOW!

 

[Fingers]

World Junior Hockey Championship begins on Boxing Day. It's being held in the Czech Republic so I guess we'll have games at odd hours.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]
