Topic: RE: Any hockey fans out there?
Lots of great hockey up here in Alaska, but my poor New Jersey Devils are AWFUL this year. Seems like sending all their best players to other teams when they want money and then blowing the budget on one overproced russian didn't work out. Oh well, I just hope no one else from the Atlantic wins the Cup this year I hate all of them (except the Islanders, it's hard to hate a team that is so unlovable even the players hate playing there)
Topic: The light's on... anyone home?
I am a died-in-the-wool hockey fanatic and I'd like to start this board up again if anyone's around!
A little about me and hockey:
The Vancouver Canucks are my fave team (although sometimes it's hard to love 'em)...and when they aren't playing, I watch the Calgary Flames (love 'em except when they're playing MY Canucks! LOL) and the Leafs. Ahhh, but this year all of "my" teams are out of the playoffs. This year is Detroit's year! GO WINGS GO!
During the off season, I miss hockey so much that I drag the entire family outside to play street hockey. We all bought new inline skates, sticks, street pucks, etc last year. Unfortunately, my husband hurt his back in a fall, so he's out of commission. That still leaves us four plus my eldest daughter who plays goalie.
I want to play in the beginner's ice hockey league -- I've wanted to for a couple of years now -- but I don't think I can keep up until I have my surgery, get off some of the weight, and above all get a heckuva lot more fit. I have great admiration for all of you who are playing now! I'd like to hear your experiences, etc. Hopefully I'll be out on the ice myself -- hopefully with my eldest daughter -- in a couple of seasons.
Topic: I just found this...
I am quite new around here and I just happened to notice this board on the left hand part of my screen. Never knew it existed! I am from MN, huge Wild fan. Last year was the first year I REALLY got into the whole NHL. Loving this season, we're 6-1 so far, very good start for us.
Anyways, just popping in, saying hi. I can't wait to play hockey again next season after I am done with school, and hopefully post-op!

I am such a hockey fan? My son plays roller and ice so we never have withdrawls. We love it very much.

Topic: RE: Oh well Maybe next year!
ok, i just noticed that this board is here. i had been posting on my Canes for weeks!!! (not much response) of course i was so happy at the outcome. although i was hoping to see them play the Ducks. how cool is that room? we are doing the same with our local boys (Greenville Grrrowl, who incidentally are part of the Oilers) and the Hurricanes. we were in a state of total euphoria here last monday but now we morn the months without hockey. ahhh well, my son is still skating and his season starts up soon. i am so glad there is a fellow hockey fan out there. i met one or two on the main message board but most didn't even know what the stanley cup was. one person seriously responded "i'm sorry, i don't follow baseball".

I'm sorry to hear about your boys. My boys, on the other hand, are an AHL team and they are still kickin butt! The Portland Pirates...they are part of Anaheim Mighty Ducks. We're in round 2 of the playoffs and it's been awesome! I've been to every home game since November. I'm such a huge hockey addict! It's crazy! I love sitting right behind my boys ..usually about two or three rows behind their bench. I've met some of them and have had several autographs etc. They've become like family! it's so weird how ya feel so attached to them after a while!
I've turned my 13 year old daughter into a huge hockey groupie! LOL It's funny! She knows everythign about the guys on our team. She can even tell you what kinda music most of em listen to! She seriously studies their stats and all of that!
I sent my daughter away for February vacation to my parents. While she was gone, I completely gutted her bedroom and redid it in all hockey memorabilia. I had about ten autographed 8X10s, photos of her and some players that I blew up and framed with autographs in them, hung up sticks, banners, picture collages, etc. I bought all new bedding in her teams colors...had shelving made in team colors to put collector pucks on and other pictures. She was sooo shocked when she came home! I had been planning it for a couple months and was so glad that nobody let the secret out! it was great! Oh...and, this is the longest she's ever kept her bedroom clean! LOL Wish I'd thought of this a long time ago! ha ha
Anyway...I was glad when I checked the board out of the blue tonight and saw that at least one other person has posted on the board. I had stopped checking cuz nobody ever responds here.
I'll stop blabbin now...take care and good luck next year!
