Caged | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 11:30 am  Adven39~ Don't feel lonely! lol We will be #1 and they will want to jump on our "band wagon" soon! FLYERS all the way!! |
Enbwife | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 08:30 pm  Okay - so enb and I decide to take the night off from the Game, and go to an Ottawa Senators game. They were playing the Atlanta Thrashers tonight at the Corel Centre. So they're up like 3-0 and Atlanta scores - no big deal. Then we're up 4-1 and they score again, then again, then again. We end up at 6-4 and Atlanta scores twice more and it's now tied at 6-6... WHAT'S WITH THAT??? They did the same thing on Thursday against Pitsburgh, up 3-0, then ending in a 3-3 tie!!! Man oh man, we need some help. GO SENS GO!!!  |
Flint | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 11:21 am  The Habs beat the Canes 5-2 Woo Woo!!!! After a sucky start to the season they ended up on a pretty good winning streak. Go Habs Go!!! Pizza, Beer, and the Habs winning. now THAT is a good night. Marysafan: A the old Voyageurs. yes, I remember them well. We had just moved to the Halifax area back then. After them we had the Halifax Citadels. Good team, crappy promoting. Now we have a team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the Mooseheads, and they are doing great.  |
Jana | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:56 pm  Jana in Texas asks: "So what is this hockey thing that you speak of?" |
Adven39 | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 05:47 pm  Sorry, Jana, we forget that there are one or two Americans on this board, too. Hockey is an odd Canadian obsession where one group of men with few teeth meet another group of men with few teeth on a patch of ice to see who can be the first to the pull the jersey over an opponent's head and pound him senseless. There's a piece of rubber called a puck, sticks and a couple of nets too, but I'm not really sure what they're for. |
Kady99 | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:26 pm  I beg to differ with you, but it is no longer a Canadian thing or a man thing. My son and I love hockey. We watch the NHL on t.v. and in person we get to go see the very minor-minor league WPHL. I am in Lousisiana BTW, so hockey has invaded the south. Jana, I'm surprised, you've never heard of the Dallas Stars??? |
Jana | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 09:31 pm  we have the Houston Aeros....i was just kidding...yeah i heard of them, just not big here never heard of the Dallas Stars though, but that's just me :P |
Flint | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 08:18 am  Jana, Jana, Jana.....you are going to have to attend Uncle Flint's Hockey School to learn all about the rgeatest sport on Earth, hockey. Tuition is only a mere $5000 CDN, which is about what 50 cents US? Bring a friend, or several friends, class start November 1st. Kady is right though, hockey isn't just a man's sport anymore. There is the rare woman who loves hockey too. Now if I could just find one who owned a liqour store I would be set for life. While the majority of NHL players are still Canadian, the teams are moving south, and a lot more Euorpeans are playing as well. It is kind of sad to see that in order to have a Franchise you need rediculous amounts of money. I blame a lot of this on Gary Betman, the commissioner. Until he came in it WAS possible for small market teams to have an NHL franchise. After he came in we started seeing the demise of the small market teams, as they moved south. Or in the case of the US teams moved to larger cities. I find it very disheartening to see Atlanta and Minnesota get NHL franchises while Hamilton gets rejected again and again. Neither city could maintain an NHL team in the past. The Stars are now in Dallas, and the Flames in Calgary. Yet they get franchises while Hamilton, a great hockey town in Ontario, one that could easily fill a stadium, or two, gets rejected again and again. That is part the NHL's fault and part the owners fault. Regardless, it sucks. Small market Canadian teams are vanishing, and one area that could easily support a team will never get one. But I digress give you ... My 2 cents.  |
Kady99 | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:34 pm  OMG, you are not gonna believe this, I own a liquor store!!!!!!!!! If I wasn't already taken, I would be the girl of your dreams. You are right Flint, hockey is the greatest sport on earth. This is the 3rd year that I have been going to games. Hockey has been in my town for only 4 years so I'm kind of a newbie. Our league, the WPHL is the bottom of the totem pole. But I love it!!!!!! |
Flint | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:43 pm  That is cruel Kady99!!!! Tell me my dream could be fulfilled, then yank the carpet out from under my feet, leaving me with a Lindrosesque concussion. Do you have a sister who owns her own store too????? The "lesser" league games, read that as non-nhl, can sometimes be a whole lot more fun to watch. The players aren't over-paid prima-donnas. They are hungry to get notice, and play their a$$es off. One of the reasons I love watching the Mooseheads when I can.  |
Kady99 | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 07:13 pm  I am so sorry, Flint. No sisters, I just got two ugly brothers. I agree our players are definately not overpaid. The salary cap for the team is 10K per week. I think they are way underpaid for all the excitement they give. Saturday night we were in a 1-1 tie. We use shootouts to break the tie. It went to the 10th player before the other team got one in. We lost, but gosh what a rush!!!! |
Caged | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 09:07 pm  Flint~ I am a major hockey fan and my best friend owns a liquor store!! Does that count for anything?!lol My only requirement is you must be a Flyers fan!!!! |
Flint | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 05:51 am  *sigh* Sorry Caged. You were close though. YOU have to own the liqour store...unless...do you have the key and security codes for the friends store????? What do you mean requirements? I thought only I could have requirements.  |
Caged | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 08:38 pm  Well, I don't have the key now....but I could get it if I had to! Ok, only you have the requirements! Give me a call when you want me to get that key!!! |
Flint | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 09:01 am  What was that phone number again?  |
Jana | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 12:38 pm  Well just don't break in since Caged's boyfriend is a cop! |
Flint | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 07:15 pm  Oops...missed that one, thanks for the heads up Jana. Flint puts away his burglary tools. |
Caged | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:01 pm  Jana to my rescue again! Thank you! Flint, I have a sister that is available if you want her. I must tell you though, she is high maintance! |
Flint | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 06:44 am  Hmmm...just how high maintanence is she? Could she support me in the lifestyle I am accustomed to? Jana to your rescue? I am the one who wouldhave been nailed for B&E. Thanks Jana.  |
Caged | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:02 pm  It depends what lifestyle you are accustomed to. I will find out for you!! |
Flint | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 06:43 am  Thanks caged. ;) Woo woo!!! Thursday I get my digital cable installed!!!! Then I will have hockey every day of the week most weeks!!!!! *drool* |
Enbwife | Monday, October 30, 2000 - 07:29 pm  My beloved Senators lost their first game this season on Saturday night to the Florida Panthers (yuck)!! They play Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night here in Ottawa. GO SENS GO!!! |
Ktsezhi | Wednesday, November 01, 2000 - 07:20 am  I am a Minnesotan and to hear of a person who doesn't know the team that was stolen from us breaks my heart!!!! We loved our beloved North Stars and then the moved from the land of hockey on every pond to the desert!!! At least we go the Minnesota Wild now |
Enbwife | Sunday, November 05, 2000 - 08:19 am  Just an update on my Ottawa Senators. They've only lost 1 game this season so far and are undefeated at home. Played the Columbus Blue Jackets last night and squeeked out a tie (ouch). Ron Tugnutt was in goal for Columbus and since he's our much loved, former goaltender, everyone cheered him when he stopped our Senators goals (hahaha). Anyway, LOVE watching hockey!!! How's the doing Flint? GO GO!!! |
Flint | Monday, November 06, 2000 - 02:51 pm  Feh, the habs have lost their last 4-5 games. Go Habs Go !?  |
