NHL fans?
 

Hockey starts Oct 4. Any fans here? Which teams?

For me, Chicago Blackhawks. This season could be very good for us.

Lots of fans here. :)

I've been a Red Wings fan since I was 5 years old. Not planning on changing that anytime soon. With Stevie Y gone, we've lost a lot of heart, but I think we still have a great season ahead of us.

We certainly deserve a good season after all we've been through! I think Dale Tallon is on the right track now. If Ruttu signs and can stay healthy the could have a decent first line in Havlet, Handzus & Ruttu.


It will probably be another year or two before we're really competitive, after Toews, Skille and some of the other forward prospects are NHL ready.

Go Hawks!

Linda, check out the 300 level board(formally S.H.I.T. Supportive Hawk fans In Termoil) if you like I could get you in just pm me.

I am a Sharks fan. I have high hopes for this year. I wish all fans and teams luck.

Hey Will, do you think Bell will actually see some minutes on the first with Thornton & Cheechoo? I'll be interested to see him play with some real talent.

I'd like to think so. Mark Bell played a lot of good games for Chicago (all 82 games, if I'm not mistaken). I read through his stats back in July when he was traded. He is an impressive player. Also, He's from Ontario, just like Thornton and Cheechoooo. I'd like to think that they might get along well (and thus play together well) because of their common roots.

Wings fan here. Could be a rough season, but with all the overpriced, undertalented free agents that were in the pool this year, I think it was good that Holland decided to wait till next offseason to make a free agent splash. I still question the decision to bring Hasek back, but again, there weren't alot of choices available. Let everyone who cares know more after I get back from training camp in September.

Huge wings fan ever since I started watching hockey (which was out of the womb... I live in Hockey Country; Eastern Canada). Yeah, I was confused and a little disapointed about the Hassek deal; why turn to him? I just hope they don't let me down. We all know football won't be kind to me this year (Packers Fan)

I am a TV only fan of the Avalanche. Does anyone else have a problem w/ the overpriced tix to catch a game live??? Outrageous!

not sure what they are for the Avs, but Detroit's are also outrageous. Luckily, after years of fandom, I've met enough of the "right people" that I can usually get discounted tickets. If I had to pay full price, or worse (scalpers!!!!), I probably would still go, just not as often.

I paid a lot for my season tix, but they are section 128 row 2 at HP Pavilion, so they're well worth it.

Ducks fan here. Love the name change and the new uniforms!!

I see no reason why we shouldn't get deep into the playoffs again :thumbsup:

'Nucks fan here

It's going to be a long season

Dave Nonis should be publicly castrated and flogged.

Go Flames Go!!!


Friesen, Tanguay, Zyuzin, and Noodles is back; it should be a good year!
I expect another division title at the very least. Well wait until season 2 starts to make any claims on that.

Go Flyers, Go! Hope, if not good sense reigns eternal, lol!

Long time Leafs fan... sigh.

I thought missing the playoffs was going to act as a wake-up call for management, but nothing's been done yet. I will continue to pray to the hockey gods that significant changes will come.

Amen, maybe only the hockey gods can save the Leafs and the Flyers

its going to be shakey for my Wings this year but I'm not really worried about the division... other than Detroit... it's weak.

This, my friends, is the year!!!

Once they get rid of JFJ, it'll be all better. The reason the Leafs aren't going to make the playoffs this season is the fact they don't have a whole lot of scorers on the team. Sundin, Tucker, O'Neill, anyone else?

NUCKS 4 TEH WIN!!!!!!


/sigh, yeah, nucks fan

Is Charles Wang the biggest jackass or what? 15 year contract to an unproven, mediocre goaltender. Good luck Isles fans, you are gonna need it.

It's the same as Yashin... they didn't learn their lesson last time so they decided to add more years to it. Wow... I love the Islanders

Oiler fan here. I hope we can get back in the SCF this year.

Flyers fan as well. I can't wait to see a healthy Forsberg and Gagne in action again this year..... as for the rest of the team... well... Bobby Clarke isn't the smartest guy in the world. After all these years he still can't see that one line won't win a championship.

My Sharks are really showing some amazing talent. I don't know if the Oilers will be able to stop them from getting the cup this season. As of right now, the Sharks are up 4 to 0 against the Red Wings. Cheechoo just tipped in a great shot right in.

Now it's 5 to 0.

It's not easy being a Calgary fan so far this season.

But last season, we started 4-7-1, and ended up winning the division.
So.. here's hoping for a repeat (of the regular season), with an improved playoffs.

Go Flaaaaaaaaaaaaames!

ohh c'mon now Ace.........we ain't doin' too bad right now.

decent road trip........let's just see what they do tonight.

It's all good.

Right

I'm sure the Senators wouldn't want them to change a thing :)

No worries with the Leafs, just some kinks to be worked out all will be good like Leto said.

We will get to see a picture like this again someday soon.

10-0



subject to change, of course..........:thumbsup:

And I lucked out and got Miller for my goaltender in the TFP Fantasy Pool, so I can't really knock the Sabres, got Manny Fernandez as well, scored well for goalies.

I knew as soon as I opened my big, fucking yap, that they'd lose one.


ah well, 10-1 is still pretty nice..........

Haha, that's usually the way it goes Joe. 10-1 sure is pretty nice.

you got that right buddy............:thumbsup:

Looks like we're screwed with injuries to our top 4 players, as the line goes;

"If we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all!"

It could be worse Brewmaniac, you could be a fan of a healthy, underachieving team who traded off all of the wrong players last year.
Havlat could have gotten more ice time in Ottawa if we unloaded Alfredsson. As far as #1 goalies go, Martin Gerber sucks. Emery has been far better so far. They should have spent Gerber's $3 million on keeping Chara.

Maybe things'll work out for us the opposite of the way they usually do. Instead of fininshing the season near the top of the standings and going out in round 1 or 2 of the playoffs, maybe we'll just squeak by in 7th or 8th and make a decent run... Stranger things have happened.

So anyone have any thoughts on the debacle in Edmonton last night? My only problem is that the NHL gives McTavish a fine for saying McGeough's call was "retarded", and that he should be suspended, yet McGeough, who admitted he blew the call, gets nothing for costing Edmonton a chance at 2 points.

I'm sure there was some disciplinary action... we just don't know what it is.
