tigerton Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Well I am offended that you didn't assume I am swimming in pools of cash. Looks like they'll be playing Montreal. Remember to shout "f**k the Habs" loudly throughout. Hope NYR sweep the French bitches 4-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever hated a sportsperson as much as Darren McCarty.

BallochSonsFan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've watched very little NHL this season. I know that it's full of great athletes these days but I just don't find myself enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the late 90s/early 00s. I havent really made much of an effort with the show this season. I've watched far more DEL games (as well as going to 2 DEL games in January). I'm nominally an Avs fan (going back to the days of Sakic, Forsberg and Roy) and a Habs fan (purely to annoy the f**k out my 2 Leafs supporting friends I go to Clan games with). Colorado are pish and in serious need of a full rebuild. Montreal are too reliant on Price right now and could do with some depth. I'll maybe make more of an effort next season, but it'll be competing again with the DEL. I'll be buying the DEL game centre package for 100 euro and hopefully going back to Mannheim for some more games at the SAP. As strange as it sounds given how much I've enjoyed watching Mannheim this season, I kind of miss the late 90s NHL when I feel they had the blend of athleticism, toughness and skill just right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he had to pick his time to have a go at Lemieux but it was such a cheap shot when he did it. No excuses for it. Theo Fleury's book is great if you read hockey biographies. As is Jeremy Roenick's book. The Gordie Howe one is good, as is Bobby Orr's book. I'd also suggest getting Eddie Shore and that Old Time Hockey and The Rebel League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy Blonde Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Going to my first ever Flames game next Sunday against the Ducks. Got cheap tickets up in the nosebleeds so I dunno how good a view it'll be. Never been to an NHL game before but I've been really getting into the hockey since I moved to Canada last May. Only stepped inside the Fife Ice Arena once during my whole time in Kirkcaldy! I finally picked the Flames as my team when we settled in Calgary. Still very much a novice fan and I've enjoyed reading up the last few pages here. I'll be sure to pop by with any questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard bad things about Orr's (that's the recent one, right?), good about Fleury and the WHA one. I have Phil Esposito's coming from some poor sod in Detroit who's surely making a massive loss on the £2.80 I spent on postage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don't think that's what was paid last time, but as the Islanders and Devils won't be making it I may have to dig extremely deep.

senorsoupe Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Playoffs start this week. I hope my Canadiens can win a round or two. Here are my (totally unbiased, honsest!) predictions for round 1 Washington in 6Montreal in 6Ottawa in 7Columbus in 7Chicago in 6St. Louis in 7Edmonton in 5Anaheim in 6 Apart from Montreal, I'm really liking Edmonton. They are a really exciting young team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Leafs playoff tickets went on presale to people who are signed up to Leafs Nation, tried as soon as it hit 1pm, sold out already, $365 the cheapest resale ticket I've seen so far. Ah well, lets go Marlies! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons why I haven't paid to see an NHL game in a while, and I live in Ottawa where the tickets are a heck of a lot easier to get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I was planning a road trip from Toronto to Montreal last year but it fell through. Really fancied going to a game in LNAH. Planned to go to games at every level. Ended up going to see my DEL team instead and absolutely loving it in Mannheim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
