Flint | Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 03:46 pm  Woo Woo! Hockey starts TONIGHT. Some pundits are calling for the Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup, and no games have even been played. To them I say *phbbbbllllttttttt*, Avalanche will take the west, and I would HOP the Habs take the east. (Yeah, yeah, maybe it is a pipe dream.) Hopefully the Habs will have less injuries this season. |
Enbwife | Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 03:49 pm  Excellent thread man!!! GO SENS GO!!!!! I am an avid Ottawa Senators fan (hate the Habs) and can't wait to get hooked on hockey all winter!!! Alexi Yashin came back to our team after sitting out a whole season demanding more money. I'm proud of the Senators management for not caving in and giving him what he wanted. That loser now has to come back and play a year with us, and put up with the constant boos he gets when he steps on the ice. |
Flint | Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 06:35 pm  It was nice to see a team stand up to one of those bloody primma donnas! About time they learned a contract is a contract. You renegotiate around the time it runs out. You don't demand it a year before. So, I take it you think the Sens will go to the finals this year, eh? Who do you think will take the West?  |
Flint | Thursday, October 05, 2000 - 10:03 pm  Hockey almost every day. *drool* Sens tied the Bruins 4-4 tonight. ;) |
Adven39 | Thursday, October 05, 2000 - 10:58 pm  Flyers won 6-3. If they can unload Lindros and get something half decent for him, they're my pick in the East. Out west, Colorado. |
Flint | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 06:46 am  Oh no, a Flyers fan!!!! And not a Lindros fan? |
Marysafan | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 07:20 am  H-e-y! Just a dog-gone minute here! I am a die-hard Red Wings fan here and ya'll are pickin' on my team! I am so happy that hockey season is here! I bought the Hockey package from Direct TV for hubby (well, okay for BOTH of us) and so far we are LOVING it! We are considering adjusting our "hours of operation" so that we can stay up late and watch the games out West (would have love to have seen St Louis at Phoenix last night) How about these new penalty calling fools in the black and white striped shirts...they called stuff last night that was a figment of somebody's imagination. Had one player talking to himself in the box he was so ticked off...couldn't say that I could blame him either...and he played for the opposing side! |
Adven39 | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 08:12 am  Yes, Flint, I am a Flyers fan. It's sort of like enjoying BB. You can't explain it, you just do. No, I've got nothing in particular against Lindros. The feud between him and Flyers management has been pretty childish on both sides. It's clear he won't play for the Flyers again, so I'm hoping once he's cleared to play in January that some team will take a chance that the concussions are behind him and be willing to cough up someone half decent for him. With his health history, it won't be anyone nearly of equal value, but a couple of second tier players would be nice. |
Snave | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 10:18 am  I'm with Flint on this one. Avalanche will probably take the west. And the Loyal Habs Fan part of me insists the Habs make a miracle recovery and take the East. They play NJ today. Urg. We're, uh... yeah. that's it. |
Flint | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 10:41 am  Marysafan; Heh...well the Wings DO have Yzerman and Shanahan, so they aren't THAT bad. I just don't know if they still have the drive to win the cup anymore. There are a lot of teams in the west that seem hungrier. It is strange to compare the Eastern and Western teams, almost as if there are 2 styles of play. The East is a lot tougher and the west seems faster, more scoring. Adven39; I hope Lindros will be able to play again too. It would be nice to see him in Montreal, but not likely. Odds are he will either be in Toronto, or get gobbled up by one of the richer US teams. Snave; Yeah, rebuilding, after those ba$tard$ Tremblay, Houle the Fool, and Corey gutted the frickin team. The Habs win the cup in 93, by playoff time in 94 over half the frickin cup wining team is GONE. By playoff time 95 over 75% are gone. It was disgusting and painful to watch. They actually looked pretty good last year, when the top 10 players weren't all on the disabled list at the same time. *sigh* Sometimes it is hard to be a fan. Here is hoping they can embarass the Devils tonight. |
Snave | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 11:12 am  Can you really see Lindros playing in a French city, after the debacle in 1990, where he refused to play for the nordiques? Quebecois hate the guy, with good reason. Plus he has a glass head, now. Just like his brother Brett. John LeClair, on the other hand, is all class. I've still got my #17 Habs jersey, with LeClair on the back. He's awesome, even if he does play for the Flyers...  |
Adven39 | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 12:43 pm  I caught that dig at the Flyers, Snave. I agree Lindros won't end up in Quebec or anywhere else in Canada, with the possible exception of Toronto. If the Leafs feel they have a legitimate shot at the Cup by mid season and can get him without gutting the team, they might go for it. It would be risky, though. Lindros could make a good team great, or he could get hit on his first shift and be out of the game permanently. |
Snave | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 12:50 pm  Yup. Tough game, eh? ! I actually secretly like the Flyers. Boucher rocks. I was mad when they traded away Brind'amour, the hardest working (and, alas, the ugliest) guy in hockey. The only thing is, they break your heart every damn year when they choke. It's enough to drive one to drink, if Bobby Clarke hasn't done it already. |
Flint | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 01:18 pm  Of course this harkens back to an old drinking game we used to play while playing hockey. Spot the Ex-Hab. ;) Everytime an ex-hab was mentioned, we drank. Philly has a few. Colorado, Dallas, the list goes on. ;) |
Snave | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 02:46 pm  Yeah, Dallas is out of control with '93 cup winners. When I first started playing, we used to idolize Tiger Williams. My personal hero was Larry Robinson. I met him in the Bay, once. He and Serge Savard were walking down the aisle in the winter coats section. They seemed so HUGE. They just towered over everyone and everything. Of course, I was seven, so that probably explains it. |
Marysafan | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 03:24 pm  Larry Robinson is Huge! Back in the early 1970's my husband was stationed in Norfolk, VA. They hosted the Virginia Red Wings of the AHA. One of the players was Herb Boxer from the Hancock, MI...a fellow yooper! I wrote to him and told him that we were there rooting for him. He invited us to come and meet him after the next game. The next game was against the Nova Scotia Voyagers (the best team in the league at that time). After the game was over, we were walking down the hall to the dressing room to meet Herb, when who should we run into but two members of the Nova Scotia team...Larry Robinson and Yvon Lambert. They were huge!!! I never felt so small in my life...at least not until I got on the elevator with six members of the Green Bay Packers....but that is another story. |
Sandyc | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 08:41 pm  I love watching hockey games. Just get me some time off work and that's where I'd be. Now you'll have to get me off this board too. It takes about two hours everyday to catch up here. I'd say 'go Sens' but I'm mad at them. They always let you down in the second round. So that leaves the Habs. At least they fight till the bitter end. and then there's Domi who's always fun when he's allowed and the real miserable sob Forsberg who I love to hate. And Peca - Mr. black and blue and I could keep going... there's always some fun to be had watching any hockey team play their hearts out. |
Enbwife | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 08:46 pm  My pick for the west would be Dallas or Colorado... I actually like the Flyers too. Maybe the SENATORS will trade Yashin for Lindros, after making their point to Yashin that we weren't gonna cave. The sooner he goes the better for the team! 4-4 last night Flint? Excellent!! I can't believe I missed it on TV to hang out here and set up the Game all night last night Oh well, tons of games on TV this season - WOOHOO - GO SENS GO!!! |
Adven39 | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 09:27 am  You know, Enbwife, I thought of the Lindros for Yashin trade, too, but with Lindros' "glass head" (love that term) thought the Senators fans out there might jump all over me for suggesting it. I feel much better now. You can be the lightning rod. |
Enbwife | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 09:24 pm  SENS beat Dallas last night!!! Our fans booed Yashin again, as usual, however, he worked his butt off for the first goal, so we had to cheer him too.  |
Admin | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 09:35 pm  Go Sens Go!!  |
Charlotte | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 04:52 pm  Hey I'm a Sens fan too!! (I hate the Leafs with a passion) I was at the Dallas-Ottawa game. Everyone cheered at Yashin's goal, but as soon as the replay came up on the screen showing that Yashin scored, the place ERUPTED in boos Nice to see some Sens fans here!! |
Adven39 | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 08:47 pm  Send Yashin over to the Flyers. He'll feel right at home. They boo everybody. |
Caged | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 10:03 pm  Lindros needs to call it a career and retire! I have a friend that works at the First Union Center and I hear all the stories about him.(not all his problems are due to hockey) You would think that as "big" as Lindros' head is, he would be protected! Born and raised in South Philly, the home of the "true Flyers fans", I am behind them all the way! Unless of course if they go through with it and trade Le Clair! Then I need to find another team! lol |
Adven39 | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 07:19 am  Another Flyers fan! Thank God! I was feeling very lonely. |
