Hockey 2003/2004
 

I just started this thread so any hockey fans out there can talk about what they think about any game or team but make sure it is within limits so you don't get this thread locked. The leafs played horrible their first game and got shut out which was a horrible game. But as of now they are winning 2-1 against washington! GO LEAFS GO!

Pft! Leafs! :roll: j/k :P


Hopefully the Bruins will actually do well in the playoof this year if they make them. Typical Boston/New England team: Do really well, make it to the play offs, and do really ******. Of course the exceptions to this rule are the Pats, and Kinda the Sox, although I doubt they'll beat the yankees. *end rant*

Yeah but im from Toronto and I cheer for the Leafs I also like other teams. Hockey is in the blood like most canadians. :lol: I hope the leafs can pull of a win here and not stick with a 2-2 tie.

Gooooo, red wings

GO RANGERS!!! :D

Well it ended as a tie. Oh well. Way to go Columbus on beating the Canucks! And Buffalo on Dallas. I lost a bet I had because of those games but still very nice. :lol:

Lets Go Oilers! Lets Go Oilers!

I hate ties! Anyways I thought someone should have decked Grier for that elbow on Reichel. What a bunch of garbage! I'm hoping the Wild (My second favorite team) will pull out a good year. Even though they lost Gaborik. I was probably one of the few people who liked the Wild outside of Minny before last years playoffs. When they layed down the Avs (with my all time fav player Andrew Brunette scoring the over-time series winner) in the first round I was happy, but when they booted out the Canucks I was even happier. I hope they do well this year.

I'm from Toronto too, but I hate the Leafs. Well, I don't really hate them, I just don't like 'em. :P

I was rooting for the Ducks last year but this year it's gonna be the Avalanche. I'm exciting about the Kariya/Sakic/Selanne line!

I'll also cheer for EVERY Canadian team, including Toronto. :)

Amen to that, brothah! GO OILEYS!

Yeah Colarado is going to be good but the thing is they have goalie problems. Not saying that he is bad but just saying he aint a Roy or a Brodeur.

GO PREDATORS!!! :D

Yeah, I know. I'm kind of worried about that, but hopefully the opposing team won't get past Kariya/Sakic/Selanne.

I still think..dammit what's the goalies name?.. is good though, but yeah. He's no Roy.

So here are my cheers:

Go Canucks Go!
Go Oilers Go!
Go Flames Go!
Go Leafs Go!
Go Sens Go!
Go Habs Go!
Go Avs Go!

Amen to the Avs....they have been a good team since I moved to Colorado.

*pulls out her Preds merchandise and runs around like an idiot* WEEEEE!!!!!!!!! :D

Can ya tell I like hockey? :lol:

Good ole Preds. You Nashville Predators is a cool name. But I want to know what is up with the name of their arena. I ain't against Gay's or anything but still it is a bit weird for a sports arena.

Gaylord is somebody's name.. :roll:

Is it? So that is why they have it like that. Interesting. Thanks. Thought it had something to do with Gays. I am sorry if I offended anyone.

I guess I'm the only bruins fan here?????????.................

Not anymore.

I just found out that Felix Potvin is the new Bruins goalie.

Go Bruins Go!

Nope. You're not alone. But I like Hockey in general. I like any sport where the ref has to jump over a speeding object on skates. And any sport where fighting is the 'norm.

Hell, colorados always been a good team since they moved here....
a cup their first season.

and the Goalie..i wont even attempt to spell...aha..but he already has one shut out. And there aint no one who can top colorados offensive line.

Maybe the team is too good for the players on the other team to shoot on the goalie. But actually he aint a bad goalie. But he aint no Roy and people don't think he is a good starter goalie. But with a team like that I guess you can't have everything.

All I have to say is GO LEAFS GO!!! This is the year man, I can feel it... and there will be no Jersey Devils to stand in the way this time! Mwahahahahahahaha!!!
(Still bitter... no, never. Tie Domi fan... yes, always.) :0)

That's what they say every year. :lol:

Well you know if we keep saying it, eventually we'll be right... see, we have a plan... lol

Maybe..but it doesn't look like they're doing too well. They are fairly low in the standings, then again, most teams have only played 3 games. :wink:

We have Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary all tied for 2nd, so..go them!

Montreal beat Washington 5-1 yesterday, and beat Leafs 4-0 a few days ago.

Take that Leafs! Go Habs Go!

Was Grier being a punk like he did in the leafs game? Oh well. We face New Jersey next! I want them to win. But for some reason the way they are playing the first 2 games. It ain't promising.

To quote Mike: "Didn't we see these guys on Wrestlemania?!"
:lol: I know I know...too soon....

Bah! Last year we started with a 4-9-2-0 record. we're at 0-1-1-0 right now. No big deal. Last year we won by shut-out then tied, this year we lost by shut-out then tied. If it's going reverse we'll be at 9-4 instead of 4-9. BTW Grier got a one game suspension for the elbow and Halpern got a $1000 fine for his slash on Roberts. Also for Grier he'll be losing approx. $9,066.66 under the CBA. Sucks to be him.

Sure does! And yeah I know they ain't that bad but I don't think they will beat New Jersey tommorow. I just don't think so! If they do then COOL!

Well you also don't know anything about hockey Raph. :lol:

Now now. I thought I told you to keep that a secret. :lol: We will see if I am wrong tonight.

Another Tie! Wow! They were so close to a win! 2 Seconds left and in it goes. Boy I feel bad for Belfour. Maybe we can be the beatable team. Not unbeatable. 2-78-2. Now that's a sweet record.

So close yet so far... you know I'm not exactly dissapointed though. I mean a tie is better then a loss, and you know you're right. The way their playing they need all the loop holes like that they can get. :)

Still, I mean they do this a lot... the Leafs tend to play average (in this case WAY below) and then pick up around December/January. It always seems to be enough to get them in the playoffs anyway.

I honestly think though, if they were Western confrence and not Eastern they would not have made it in the last two years... and it hurts my heart to say that.

As for Belfour... we'll he's no CuJo... maybe that's the problem. Even though CuJo was sucking when he left, those were still big skate to fill. I don't think Belfour ever really fell into the roll, and it's not like anyone was really supportive... He was picking up there for a while last year, but now... well...

Nonethelss... GO LEAFS GO!!!

I think Belfour is a great goalie. He just ain't getting any slack the team is letting him down...last year he was incredible. Oh well! Lets get our first win leafs! GO LEAFS GO!

I agree with the win. But I wasn't knocking Belfour's goal-tending abilities... far from... but to the people he wasn't CuJo, you know? That has to be daunting, going in to it like that.
Personally, I think he is a better goalie. He's damn quick too. And I agree that the team is letting him down. I mean one guy can only do so much right?

Exactly. I was a goalie for about 5-6 years. I would know. :wink:

I say it just about every game. "They're hanging Eddie out to dry!" The Leafs are letting that poor guy down over and over and over. It makes me angry that a team with so much talent is such a let down all the time!

go red wings, i didnt know hockey started yet, up until a couple days ago.
