The NHL Thread

[matt9476]

OK, I know hockey is not so popular among you Southerners, but we up here in the North like it. So for all fans of the world's fastest game, here's your chance to chime in.
What are your predictions for the rest of the season? Who's going to win the Stanley Cup? Who's going to choke?

I LOVE college hockey. But...what's the NHL? Is that another name for Hockey East? GO MAINE!

I hope the Red Wings continue their winning streak.
Did you see the hit the guy from Boston took a few weeks back. OMG. We all stood around the tv waiting to see if he'd come around. I was glad to see they taped his legs and arms, and left the stretcher low. Sorry, off on a tangent.
Rachel wants to go to Boston College or Maine to play hockey

I did see that hit, but I can't remember the player's name. Very scary.
I'm covering the Sabres-Leafs game tonight, which should be a good time. Buffalo-Toronto is a heated rivalry.

[Nicksmom]

any one and Toronto

It was Patrice Bergeron, I know the first name is right

I think you're forgetting about the Formula 1 series.

[Nicksmom]

Formula 1 is fast but I don't think it qualifies as a game. Just my opinion.

[matt9476]

hockey = game
Formula 1 = race

I thought that was pretty evident. When was the last time you played Formula 1?

Probably that F1 game on the n64, why?

Either you didn't understand my previous post, or this is a really weak comeback.

[matt9476]

OK, back to the topic of hockey, I can't believe how poorly the Sabres are playing. They won the Presidents Trophy last year and now sit near the bottom of the entire league. I'm sure the team won't stay there for long; it has too much talent. But it emphasizes how much a difference two players can make. Losing Daniel Briere and Chris Drury, who aren't exactly tearing up the ice on their new teams, has plunged Buffalo into mediocrity.
On the other hand, Ottawa is REALLY good this year. This does not help the Sabres' cause.

I'm glad the Red wings have some depth on defenese and in goal.

[Nicksmom]

Oh, and Nick's full name is.."Nicklas" like in Nicklas Lindstrom. I chose the name and couch lump chose the spelling. It was ok with me. We like hockey around here. There is even an autographed picture of Steve Y, by the computer

Red Wings go for 10 in a row against Chicago tonight

It's pretty big here, so I wouldn't say it's not that big in the south. In fact there is more interest here than there is for the Bruins back home in Maine right now.

As for my prediction, Carolina back in the finals.

[matt9476]

Where in the South are you?

[ThatReallyHurt]

It's going to be Calgary. They've got the talent, and now they're more experienced than they were a few years ago.

I hope!

Well, the Red Wings blew it last night. No 10 in a row.
