I have to confess that I am a little surprised by how much I missed it.

Thank you, Jim! I was starting to wonder if I was the only hockey fan out in TVCHland.

I'm surprised that more people aren't posting. I know they are out there!

I didn't watch the entire game last night, but what I did see made me feel pretty good. The flow of the game was quite good and the rule changes may improve things (cautiously optimistic). I may be crazy but I think that the strike may help hockey in Canada in the long run. Hopefully Mats is okay.

All in all it was great to see them back in action!

I tried to watch a bit of the Flyers game last night, but I just couldn't...even when they were leading. I kept thinking about how mad I am at the owners for the lockout and what that said about what they think of me as a fan. And I couldn't get over it no matter how I tried. I even turned off SportsCenter whenever they did a hockey story...that's how irked I am at the owners!

I did find out that Eric Lindros is playing for Toronto, though, so at least I can have a team I can sorta root for even though I have an official anti-hockey policy.

Omigosh! I can't even begin to tell you how excited we are at our house to have hockey back. We are total hockey nuts. I love my Red Wings! Especially the amazing Pavel Datsyuk.

I'll tell what Dorks we are...we joined a Yahoo fantasy hockey league. The draft took place sometime after midnight Monday night. I woke up about 2:30 am to discover no hubby in bed...so I tiptoe downstairs, and there he is...at the computer. He looks up at me sheepishly...and says, "We've got teams!"

So here we were in the middle of the night like a couple of kids who had snuck downstairs to see what Santa brought. We were oohing and awing over the players we were delighted to have (I got the amazing Pavel Datsyuk!) and secretly plotting what moves we were going to make to improve our chances.

I know...we are total Dorks!

We have Direct Tv and the NHL Center Ice package...so there goes most of my regular tv viewing. I already missed "Lost" last night, and don't even miss it, and I doubt that I will care who is voted off the Island tonight either. Hockey's back...the Wings are still a good team...and Pavel Datsyuk is still amazing.

All is right with the world!

BTW Sue, I have Dan Cloutier as one of my goalies (and not just because I think he is so cute!), so I will be watching the Canucks closely this year. How do you think those twins are going to do...I have Daniel. He had a really good pre-season so I am hoping that they are ready to take it up a notch.

Tish...I feel your pain. I walked away from Baseball after being a life long fan in 1994 after that last strike. I know how hard it is to get passed the hurt and the anger. This time though I just didn't feel that way. It's almost like this break was necessary to make things better...like a forest fire is needed to regenerate the forest.

I am hoping that the game will be better than ever and that both the players and the owners will have an all new appreciation of the fans. We are all in this together.

Cloutier has been doing pretty good for me, and this last week he was outstanding.

The Sedin twins however, have been at pair of mixed results. Daniel led the team with pre-season scoring, but hasn't been up to snuff since the season began. I had to drop him, but will consider bringing him back if his performance improves.

Henrik on the other hand started to pick things up, so I put him in for a couple of games and he did okay. I dropped him though, but will keep an eye on him for the future.

I am beginning to have a secret crush on Danny Cloutier! As an avid Detroit Red Wings fan, I love when anyone beats Colorado!

I agree about Markus Sue! Love his accent too.

BTW....how did you & your husband get to be Canuck fans living in 2-team-Alberta?

Am I the only 'Nucks fan out there who despises Cloutier? (ok, despise is a bit harsh. but I'm certianly not comfortable with him guarding the net!) I find that what he delivers is quite substandard compared to what the fans seem to think he's capable of.

I'm sorry that he was hurt in Saturday's game, but I have to admit I was pleased to see that Auld got a bit of time to shine, too.

And don't even get me started on the 8-0 Leafs game this weekend... out here in BC we have to spend so much time defending ourselves for being Leafs fans... Saturdays' game just completely unravelled about six months of "It's OK to be a Leafs fan, really!" assurances I've passed out to TO Haters.

LOL Karen. I don't despise Cloutier but I just don't think he's consistent enough and he gets rattled too easily. When he's good, he's really good and when he's bad, he's horrible..

I really like Auld too! I think I heard the 3rd goalie is starting tonight against Minnesota.

You're a Leafs fan??

Sue...yeah, I hear ya, once you start its hard to stop :-)

I cheer for the Leafs as long as they're not playing Vancouver. BF is from London (Ontario) and has bled blue all his life. He cheers for Vancouver as long as they're not playing the Leafs.

Leafs on 'Nucks is always a fun time at my house...

3rd goalie? Really? I thought I saw an interview with Crawford that said he had no idea what would have happened if Auld had been seriously hurt on Saturday -- we dont' have a third goalie. I've been working some crazy-long hours, though, so maybe I imagined that.
