Do we have any hockey lovers in the house??
 

starting in the fall and lasting til spring i live and breath hockey- my home team is the Pittsburgh Penguins and i never miss watching a game :) other teams i enjoy, Boston Bruins & St Louis Blues...just not when they play the pens.

i am hoping that there are some other fans on the drome so that we can compare notes this season.

Huuuuge hockey nut, and you know i'm a Penguins fan (just look at my profile pic). All i have to say is that there had better not be a lockout this year.

♥ the pic shreddhead! if there is a lockout i will go bananas... last time we went a year without hockey i was a very unhappy girl.

Oh yea.... HUGE HOCKEY LOVER!!!!! That's me........... My teams are the Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins......anyone that is not nashville or Winnapeg.

I guess that's why we have hockey video games.

HOCKEY!!!!!! Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Being that I live in Ottawa you can guess who I cheer for. Got my season tickets in the mail last night. Better not be a lock out.
I was a Montreal Canadians fan, because me father was. Some of my earliest memories are of Dad, Grandpa and I getting on a bus to Montreal, scalping some tickets to see a game and then busing back that night.
Grandpa was a Boston Bruins fan, and I have much respect for them.

I not only watch, but play rec hockey weekly with friends and on a team at work. My son Justin (6) will be starting his first year playing this year, and i will be an assistant coach for his team.

That's Winnipeg. Although not a fan, so glad to see them the Jets back.

BTW did you know Goaltender Brian Elliot with the St. Louis Blues has Casey on his Mask

I'm also a hockey fan.

Been a fan of The Red Wings(Hockey Town, Baby!) since I was 9.

Too bad I never had the opportunity to play the game.

I was also a fan of the now defunct Muskegon Fury of the UHL.

I haven't seen Hockey in awhile since I was living in Germany. But now since I'm back in the states I would love to see Detroit play again.

Despite never actually being to a single NHL game my entire life, I'm a high follower of hockey, which began when I would play EA's NHL 93 on the Genesis, in particular playing the 1991-92 Chicago Blackhawks team. I like how there are so many different penalties and line changes. Let's not forget all of the body checks, pokes, glass breaks, and fights. Of course I'm now a Washington Capitals fan, home of Alexander Ovechkin and Nicholas Backstrom and have been one of the better teams as of late despite never making the Stanley Cup finals since 1998.

I had NHL '93 too for the Genesis.

Awesome game.

Thats awesome. Some of my earliest memories are of Buffalo Sabres games with my mom and dad. Apparently I would occasionally cheer "Buffalo Bills!" But i was like 3 or 4 yrs old X)


NHL 94 on the Genesis is still my all time favorite hockey video game, and ive played em all. If only it had 93's fighting!

"Y'know, it's not so much me as Roenick; he's good."

LOL. At that age we all just get swept up in the thrill of the game.

I never owned a Genesis, but my friend Matt did. We played NHL 94 all the time.

~S~

LOL how unfortunate for you :trazz:

One of my favorite things to do is watch the Pens play on enemy ice (yes, i am that loud mouth out of towner you hate!) i have seen them play the capitals, islanders, rangers, blue jackets, red wings (sc finals!), sabres, maple leafs, flyers (playoffs!) and hopefully i will add to that list this year.

The Islanders game I attended, which i thought would be boring and awful, turned out to be the brawl of the season- when Haley attacked Johnson and basically every glove was on the ice!

I was also at the Winter Classic game, Pens v. Caps- an amazing experience despite Crosby getting injured.

Look forward to speaking to more of you during the season- glad to see some hockey loving dromers!!!

Hey MC,

I was wondering about your thoughts on the Sutter/Stall trade. Personally I think the pens came out better on the deal. You?

~S~

it didnt bother me. Stall is a great player and a great guy and hasnt had a chance to shine on the Pens- i also like Sutter's style and look forward to seeing how he works with the team.

^No surprise to see Staal go. He's been talking about it for at least a whole season now. Not easy to show that youre a number 1 center with sid and geno ahead of you.

And MC, im so jealous of you! First off that islanders game was crazy, Johnson with the tko lol! And Pens Caps games are my favorite to watch, having lived in both cities. That one playoff game in 09 where crosby and ovechkin both had hattricks was unbelievable.

thought you guys might like this, just a unique part of my hockey collection

Lol MC I love it

Do my eyes deceive me or do I spy 2 Spartacats in that collection?

Totally Wicked!!!

~S~

Nice collection mysterycolor......

let's hope for the sakes of hockey lovers, there's a season this year

I think there will be. The start of the season may be delayed, considering there is no new CBA in place yet with the old one expiring on Sept 15, and no scheduled negotiations.
But I think everyone wants season. It's too close to the last lockout.

This crap again???!

Thanks guys! it is hard to find an audience that appreciates this particular collection ;)

yes, there are two spartacats- the first one i bought was him dressed as Santa... cause i couldnt find him in his jersey :( then later i found the giant one in a jersey and just couldnt resist!!

Nice, A friend of mine from college actually won the contest to name him. He has a plaque on his wall and everything.

that is flippin awesome, give your friend a high-five from me and express my pure jealousy ;)

at least my mascot (and old arena!) gets to be featured in sudden death hehehe

I am jealous too. Everytime I'm over to his place you see it on his wall. I have been meaning to take it off his hands...for a little while.

since hockey season hasnt started yet- i thought i would ask... do any of you guys play the EA NHL video games- i am not much of a gamer do to my Epilepsy (though i love playing when i can). I was reading this article about creating the perfect team and it sounds like a lot of fun... wish i could try it.

The last one I owned (think I might still have it) was '07 for the PS2. We have an Xbox 360 at work, and when we first got it, a group of us regularly played whichever latest and greatest version there was.
We never went through a whole season. Just lunch time matches. Goals meant nothing, the challenge was how many penalty minutes you could accumulate.
Might have to dust off my old console, or see how much a game for my Wii would be.

HUGE Wings fan.

Yzerman, forever #1.


I have a gigantic Red Wings collection.

Yzerman was and will always be awesome. He's from here you know. Many a times have I played on Yzerman Arena at the Nepean Sportplex.

~S~

He is from Cranbrook, BC, and played in Peterborough.

Yes he was born there. But grew up and played here.

From Wiki (cuz if it's written there it must be true:teek:):
"Yzerman was born in Cranbrook, British Columbia, but grew up in Nepean, Ontario (a suburb of Ottawa, now a district in that city) where he attended Bell High School and played for his hometown Nepean Raiders Junior A hockey team."

Anyways, there is a huge fanbase here because of his early years. Many kids, like my son now, are following in his footsteps playing in the Nepean Minor Hockey Association.

~S~

lol, dude....you're talking to someone who has been obsessed with the man since the age of 10. I know his story, I was just clarifying his information ;P


I always hated all the people who took #19 on any sports teams at school before me, ha.

It's all cool HMC!!! Just glad to see other super hockey fans here.

I can sort of relate to the number issue. In my youth I was a fan of Stephane Richer #44, but the team numbers were only 1-15 so I would try to nab number 4. The last two years I played in a league they had jerseys with scattered numbers. I found number 22. So I reasoned, I'm half as good as him.

Picked up the Jerseys for my sons first year of house league yesterday. I'm sure MysteryColor will like them. Pittsburg Colours (Black with white and gold details).

lmao! Love your explanation on the jersey, made me laugh. Funny thought process.

I have a few Yzerman jerseys. First one I got was the Wings home jersey at the time when I graduated grade 6. It's a tad beat up but still alive.

I have two of the then home jerseys, 1 away, 1 old school, 1 Team Canada.

Team Canada Jersey? Sweet!!!
I have a lot of Jerseys, mostly Sens. Old school white, second gen. red and black, 2 new Reds(name and numbered with Alfresson and Fisher) New Heritage Jersey.
I have Four Team Canada Jerseys, Red, White, Black and the 2000 Sydney Olympic Jersey, which was weird because in was the summer olympics.
I still have my Habs jersey form my youth, and some other misc Jerseys, like Tragically Hip, and the Monroeville Zombies.

Speaking of the Habs, my favorite goalie is Patrick Roy. Didn't actually get to shake his hand or talk to him, but he was doing a signing at a mall when I was a kid. I have a picture of him signing stuff in my photo album.

Well they just cancelled all regular season games up to October 24th. I am very depressed.

you arent the only one :(

well since theres gonna be a little break here, does anyone play nhl 13 on ps3?
