Been a Penguins fan from way back! Went to Pitt for a few semesters (before I decided I didn't know what the heck I was doing in college at that point...) and loved watching the games. We were one of the few apartments that paid for cable, so we'd charge admission for the games, and that would cover the expense for the refreshments, lol. Fun days back in 1990 and 1991.
Go Canucks! The season opener is tomorrow night against the Flames, I can't wait!

As for the Arena... It IS Ka-la-forn-ee-a, right? "Land of the easily amused"? LOL
Good team. IMHO, Lemieux was the greatest ever. Gretzky had it easy, when the game was played differently.Quote:

Shelteez2 and The Cat Factory... Pay attention to his last entry. :)
Oh man was he fun to watch. I don't think that anyone has ever playing the game quite like Lemieux. Although, Crosby lives with Lemieux during the season, and gets a lot of one-on-one...maybe a little Lemieux will rub off on him :DQuote:

My boyfriend was a season ticket holder so we got to meet all the players and had some of the best seats in the house- 3 rows up from the ice- right next to the opposing teams tunnel enterance.
I wish I had a lot of money, I'd love to see an NHL team in person. When I was in Nashville I stopped at the arena to have a look around- some day I will see a game! Hopefully!
Had Klein autograph many pictures and my bf's Klein jersey...(don't mind the red lines)

ANyway, I am still recovering from Marty McSorley's crooked stick. ACK!
We do have some great arenas here. I do like the Honda/Pond/Anaheim/whoever paid for the name arena, Concerts are good there, rodeos and roller hockey, when they had a team.
I loved the Inglewood Forum, saw tons of stuff there. THat was the Kings old home. Haven't been to the Staples Center tho.....to expensive and parking is 20 bucks off the top!
IT's anyway you want to pronounce it! Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ah is my governor's way to do it! and yes, we are easily amused!
Land of the fruits and nuts, ya know?
Go FLAMES Go!!!
Not off to a great start though. Losing the first game in Vancouver and now tied with them the second game, 3rd is almost over. Come on guys, get your stuff together!!!
I had a brief fling with a hockey player back in '99/'00, and really followed the Dallas Stars as a result for a couple years until the strike, and since then, I haven't really been paying attention. I love going to the games, and would never turn down the opportunity. But, I don't watch on tv anymore. It's a great sport to watch live, though!
I agree - it is much better live. But watching in HDTV is certainly not a bad second choice.Quote:

Our AHL team here is Hershey Bears... but their home opener isn't until October 18th or 19th I think. So we have to wait. We took Hannah to her first hockey game there when she was three months old LOL. can't wait to take her again and take her to see CoCo (the mascot). Although most of the players from the past couple of years are now up with the Caps. they aren't my favorite team but they do have my favorite goalie :D so I can't wait to go see them play this year.
WOOT... Go habs 6-1 win over the Leafs last night *does happy dance*
BUT... I am TOTALLY P.O'd that Hockey Night in Canada actually went through with a theme song change. Why don't you just change the canadian national anthem for crying out loud :rolleyes:
On the radio - brings back memories.
I can remember times driving into work at night - picking up a Canadian station on the car radio. There was a hockey game - in French!! I could still pick out player's names, and no mistaking a goal.
Oh, yeah, I went through two years feeling that way. ;) I listened to many Stars games on the radio at work (we weren't allowed to have radios, but I worked late enough and would sneak one in and keep it low).Quote:
