NHL OPENING NIGHT 2011!!

[Michael Yagami]

Listing to the Habs/Leafs game right now! The march to Lord Stanley's Cup starts now!

 

[HellioN]

Man, I like Montreal & Toronto.
Can't root for a winner there.
Blues start there season Saturday against Nashville.
Can hardly wait!

I've been to one NHL game (and lucked out when Gaborik scored 5 goals), and now I've finally gotten around into getting into NCAA hockey --I went in on some shared season tickets for the U. of Minnesota Golden Gophers.

I know this isn't exactly NHL, but I doubt there's as much interest for college hockey here.

So far I went to the opening exhibition against the University of British Columbia (with Magician from here), and tomorrow I'm heading to the season opener against Sacred Heart (I want to make a sign that says "Desecrate Heart", but I don't know how that would fly).

When are you going to come to Morgantown and take in a Mountaineers game? You haven't lived until you've experienced one of our famous post game couch burning student riots first hand.

If USC ever scheduled a game in Morgantown I would soooo be there. One day I plan to start going to random games around the country, one day.

Morgantown would be on that list, just to hear the whole stadium sing Country Roads --I love that song.

 

[Michael Yagami]

I'd love to see WVU vs. USC. Maybe some day.

Back to Hockey: The Habs are down 0-2 to the Leafs. Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!

The Kings are opening tomorrow night in Sweden against the Rangers. I wonder if a lot of people will show up?

 

[Normdog]

Hope the Sharks can get to the Cup Finals this year.

woo!!!

lets go rangers!
lets go rangers!
lets go rangers!

 

[Renmauzo]

I hope the Canucks can take it all the way this year; watching the finals last season was a heartbreaker

 

[Michael Yagami]

Watching the aftermath was equally heartbreaking.

Toronto takes Montreal 2-0. Not the way I wanted to start the season. But, there are 100+ games left.

Caps start tomorrow night against Carolina.

I went to my first hockey game last year when they beat the Rangers in game 5 in the first round of the playoffs, and I got a partial season plan this year.

Might try and get full season if I can, DC is Cap crazy right now since they are doing well, and every other team sucks here.

the redskins are 3-1 right now.

Yeah, but the Skins have started out strong before. Don't get me wrong I hope they do well and go far. Actually I'll be at the next game vs the Eagles. I was there last year when they got destroyed on MNF so I hope they bring their A game and redeem themselves this year.

Tell me about it.

I caught some of the game last night, but not the end... Still, it felt kinda good to watch hockey again. Hell, it even (almost) felt good to already get a litany of insults from the legions of Canuck haters, who are already claiming the 'Nucks will disappoint in the playoffs.

 

[Arcademan]

Major bump on an unused thread and a big LOL on the last post predicting disappointment for the Canucks in the playoffs. Yep...nothing like the top seed losing in the first round

I knew I shouldn't have said anything...

too bad about your canucks.

bring on the caps! (i know there are a few caps fans on here). Lets go rangers!

 

[Zenimus]

It's awesome to see the Kings finally get past Round 1. The game with Dustin Brown netting two shorthanders was pretty insane.

I hope they go all the way, but if the Kings are beaten, I'll be pulling for any of the remaining Western Conference teams. It'd be a heartbreaker to see the East take it again!

 

[Renmauzo]

No Canadian teams making it to round 2 hasn't happened in 16 years...my interest in this year's playoffs died with Ottawa's and Vancouver's respective playoff runs.

Go Rangers! Lol

But really, Go Devils!

Any time someone cheers on a NY team, I laugh. It's a litmus test showing that the fan has no interest in the sport. NY sports - for the casual mindless consumer.

Lol, reminds mind me of seeing every other teenager or wannabe playa wearing an NY ballcap with the gold/silver authenticity sticker still on the bill.

im originally from NY. Born and raised a NY sports fan. Was i supposed to become a hawks fan when i moved here? bulls? (shudder) cubs? hell no. The real NY sports fans are loyal to the bone. There are tons of fairweather fans out there (like any team except the coyotes and the tampa bay rays), but there is something to be said for sticking with your team. NY sports has an awesome history. On top of that, there is nothing casual and mindless about being a Mets fan like myself- especially a displaced one.

that shit kills me.

Though there is one former Canadian team making it to the second round for the first time since moving to...PHOENIX!!!

Gotta cheer for my Coyotes
