    The Ice Hockey Thread

    Well well well well...

    Seems like this isn't on the horizon here and quite possibly I am the only nut here for the sport.

    Any way after a bit of warming up last week its all kicking off tomorrow woo.

    Currently I have lined up on Sky+, 11 matches alone, and I can't bloody well wait.
    I was meant to be heading to Zilina via Prague in order to catch Phoenix v Boston and if any if Ye can get the opportunity to do so do it.

    Anyway, nothing else to be said but bring it on and GO LEAFS!

    Go Habs!

    I was caught off guard by the first weekend of the season. It's a big weekend in College Football and I didn't realise ESPN America would be showing none because of the NHL coverage. I've got 4 laptops lined up to help me get around that (5 screens if you include the telly) for an epic Saturday night in.

    Can't wait for it, am going to the Coyotes v Bruins here in Prague on Saturday night

    Rangers fan myself and think they have looked good so far in pre season, getting Prospal on another contract was a great piece of business for them too. Hopefully will make the play offs this time around, Start with a tough game away to the Sabres on Saturday

    It's on. Best of luck for the rest of the season. Here's to a canadian team being successful this season.

    Looks like the Maple Leafs aren't up to much this year. No wonder this thread has tumbleweed.....

    With a few months in it looks like the Canucks are steaming ahead. Canadia might stand a chance this year
    Weaseling out of things is important to learn, it's what seperates us from the animals!! Well... except for the weasel.

    Well the problem with the NHL regular season is that you get far more churn of top seeds in the early rounds of the playoffs than in the NBA, making the regular season seem to matter less. Still some good games but with over half the teams making the post-season, it's hard to care all that much except about teams battling for the last places. Come the late spring now, then it'll get fun.

    Canucks by far the best team I've seen this year. The 9/2 on them to win outright is a top bet IMO

    Dallas and Montreal might be sneaky outsiders. Vancouver have a strong roster but they're capable of blowing up when the going gets tough. It'd be nice to see a Canadian team be successful, though I have a feeling it won't be this year.

    Anyone see the Bruins / Canadiens games last night - 14 (8-6 to Bruins) goals and 46 separate penalties!. At one stage there was no room left in the Boston penalty box!!!

    Giving out about it on PTi at the moment - not sure if it's good or bad. Probably bad!

    Yeah. The Bruins have been involved in some memorable games this year. I'm looking forward to watching them in the playoffs!


    I hope the Rangers qualify this year and that the Canucks can bring it when it matters. Once again there will be questions asked of Ovechkin and the Caps come the playoffs. I think they just can't wait for the playoffs, it's looked like that to me since the start of the season. They just wish it was time for the playoffs already.

    Here we go...Tampa Bay at Boston now. Conference finals are go.

    Come on Boston. Shame it's Versus coverage on ESPN America rather than CBC's.

    Also anyone else see Bobby Ryan's goal against Nashville. It's out of this world.

    So we've hit game seven of the Eastern Conference final. I'm 45 min behind live TV due to the comfort of bed. Catching up slowly but surely. Been a whopper first 10 min though.

    Go Bruins.
