NHL Talk

[electrochemical]

Well since I noticed that at least 2 people on this board are fans of the NHL I thought I would make a thread on that topic. Here we can talk about our teams or trash talk or do what ever that relates to the NHL.

Enlightened I have noticed you like the dreaded Red Wings, one of the original 6. They have won the second most championships in NHL history way behind the Montreal Canadians. They are the defending champs and they seem to get better with age as they have mostly older players on their team. Now they have Hossa.

Me I like the Devils who have been good every year. They won in 2000 and 2003. Those are the championships that I have seen while being a fan of them. The legend Marty has helped that to be possible. This season he got inured at the start of the season but they have played very well. They are currently in 3rd in the Eastern conference. We will see hoe things turn out in the second half of the season!

Well I started out watching Mario Lemieux, I dont care what anyone says HES THE GREATEST. If he wouldnt have gotten cancer hed be the best ever.

After he retired I noticed Serge Federov and Ive been a Wings fan since. Havent seen any games lately, but Id like to when I get cable again. Also, being in GA, Im hoping to see them when they come here again.

Also a Sydney Crosby fan, I still keep up the the Penguins. Also like my Thrashers, but all in all Im a Red Wing.

The only teams I HATE are Colorado and Anaheim.

Mario Lemieux, I have to agree with you on that one! The Thrashers have done decent in the recent years. And Sidney Crosby, He is plastered all over the sports news here in Canada, much like how Hockey in like a religion here. Especially the Juniors that recently came to a conclusion. I am very excited to see the winter olympics in Vancouver next year, Team Canada will have a ton of good players on the team, none better than Crosby. Team Russia has a good chance to win gold too as they are stacked!

I dont see Devils games much, only when they play canadian teams do I get to see them play. There used to be a time when I could see them in my home town of Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Jets, then they moved to Phoenix to become the Coyotes. Now they are in trouble of going under. The ONE thing that makes me annoyed at the NHL is their dumb need to bring teams from the northern states and Canada to southern states. All of the teams in the south are doing horrible, no one in LA or Phoenix cares about hockey. I wish there was a hockey team here in Winnipeg! Everyone really badly wants a team here. But in a city with only 650,000 people that wont happen with this NHL. So we have an AHL team instead. Gary I hate you for taking the Jets from us!
