Thread: Any Hockey Fans Out There????

Well here we go tonight

I am torn a bit, but I gotta hope the Oilers win this

No matter who wins game 7 it has been a barn burner of a series so there should be no complaints from the fans or the NHL.

Hey Bob. Good to see ya... Figuratively speaking at least.
So, tonight I guess we'll see if the Oilers are going to make a liar out of me.

Figures, no sooner do I make a prediction and they make a monkey out of me.

Well, they pulled it out. So the Panthers win for the first time in their 30 years in the league and 31 years will become 32 since a Canadian team has won it.

Sad news in the hockey world today: Johnny Gaudreau from the Columbus Blue Jackets and his brorher Matthew who played in the AHL were both killed by a drunk driver while cycling yesterday. To make matters worse Matthew's wife is expecting and they were both home preparing to be groomsmen in their sister's wedding scheduled for today. They both were relatively newly wed and have small children. The more you find out, the more tragic the situation becomes. It almost reads like the bus full of nuns and orphans etc, etc.

Please remember these two young men and their families in your prayers.

Very sad news

Looks like the season has staahtah....it’s about time !!!

Go Bruins

No kidding! I was having the hockey Jones.

Interesting thing: the Lightning had their first home game of the seasonscheduled for tomorrow but it was postponed because of the hurricane. Who was it against? Carolina Hurricanes.

Oh yeah...Go Bolts!

The Bruins got some Big Defensemen in the off season...and signed Swayman as the #1 goalie....and Ullmark was dealt away. Got some new faces to learn.

And names...and numbers. I keep saying, " Okay, who is wearing 59 again," or, "Now what number is Geekie," or what's 28's name? Oh yeah, Girgensons."

One thing I was thrilled to see was
Vasi was on fire last night. Last year was an anomoly with that injury and surgery and 12 weeks out after surgery. Thankfully he was back in true form last night though. Watching him do those Van Damme splits still baffles me. That hurts me just to look at it.
