Is anyone else in here a hockey fan? I'm a season-ticket holder of the Atlanta Thrashers. Home opener was last night (8-1 Win over the Caps ... sold out).

I like the Avalanche, but only when they win or get their necks broken.

I earned my red wings. It's been a long time since that happened. But there you go.

Yes, the Colorado Avalanche is a good team. I have a Peter Forsberg NHL jersey. It was a Christmas gift. I was shocked at the price those things fetch. Expensive.

The Dallas Stars are good sometimes. Dallas fans were so lucky. Only a couple years after the Minnesota Northstars re-locate down there, they win a Stanley Cup. Normally a city home to a relocated team or new expansion team has to wait 68 years before they finally get good and win.

During my time at a TV station in Georgia, the main sportscaster guy there would only run one hockey story at all during the year, and that was the final result of the Stanley Cup Championship. His attitude was the sport must use a ball to qualify as a sport. A puck does not qualify. This was coming from a fellow whose first name was "Ducky." I shit you not.

I did like the 'stars ... when they were the Northstars ... now I'll just cheer on my home team ... Blackhawks!

Happen to be watching the Avalanche-Flames game as I type this.

GO AVALANCHE!

(Like they need it...it's 7-3 Avalanche right now...)

Well, judging by the thrashing Atlanta took tonight (9-1 Toronto) I'd say you can probably count Atlanta out as one of the best.

Give me a break Daryl. Even a Jr. HS team of 13 y/o's could kick Atlanta's butt!

I'm talking *REAL* teams like the Wings and Black Hawks!

Only losers who lived in Detroit would like the Wings. They should move to Buffalo.

Hahahahahahha! You Ass! Good comeback!

BTW: "IF" they moved to Buffalo, would they then be known as the "Hot Buffalo Wings".

All we hear about here in Pittsburgh is how the Penguins are once again a powerhouse team now that we have a teenager named Crosby in the line up. Christ, I remember when radio stations would give away free tickets to Penguins games just to get people to call in answers to bullshit trivia questions.

...and no body called.

The Penguins are so bad that I think it'll take more than one young Canadian player to save their asses.

Hockey would probably be more popular there if the American play-by-play folks didn't seem to dis-interested, and slow to call the game. I can't stand them, it puts me to sleep.

On the sports ticker this evening: Brett Hull retires, effective immediately. He's a lock for the NHL Hall of Fame the first year he is eligible. But with the loss of last season, he stays stuck at #3 on the all time scoring list behind Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky.

sorry about the double post!

See that Daryl, two of the three all time goal scorers in the league are former REDWINGS! Then Buffalos number one Goalie had to move to Detroit to win a CUP! I guess we'll just stay here and enjoy HOCKEYTOWN!

What's that? You said the top three goal scorers of all time were Canadian?

You mentioned goalies. Were you thinking of three of the top four all-time NHL win leaders, all who played for Toronto? All four of which were Canadian.

When Detriot decides that "hockey is the passion that unites us all" and that it's "far more important than air", I'll take you're last comment seriously.

The Stanley Cup
It all started on March 18, 1892, at a dinner of the Ottawa Amateur Athletic Association. Lord Kilcoursie, a player on the Ottawa Rebels hockey club from Government House, delivered the following message on behalf of Lord Stanley, the Earl of Preston and Governor General of Canada: ...more

I see my rebuttal caused you to stumble on your words. I'd say a team, made of a majority of Canadians, wins nearly every year. Of course I suppose it'd be difficult for a whopping 93 or so Americans to take on the entire league.

lol yes it would be hard for 93 americans to take on the entire league. Well I'm laying this debate to rest, because its not going to go anywhere but back and forth. But I would say that the Russians and the Sweds are right up there with the Canadians...maybe not as many but, more then american I would think.

And yes your well put response made me fumble my words

Bob I think you need to lay off the "sauce" if you think the Rangers are going anywhere lol
