Nhl thread

[CFH]

i have only been in the vancouver area for 3 years on and off for the last 5 years but I know what you mean about the fans.... everyone is a great fan when they win :S but when they are not so great... even though they make the playoffs so many people/fans just bash them :S... the canucks won the presidents trohy twice in a row... they were no mugs....but people say "man i gave up on the canucks, they suck, they neever win".... what a load of bollocks :S..... only one team ever wins the stanley cup and tha canucks have done very well recently but still so many people here just talk balls about them... but still they are my nhl team... The fans are crap here... they do pay the money to go to games to be fair but still the amount of nonsense that comes out of the majority of their mouths is ridiculous.... they are our team here... lets suppport em no matter... but no.. most just talk crap.. anyway whatever I am a canucks fan so I am biased !...

Managed to find the cheaper tickets for the canucks devils game on tuesday so I am off to gm place for that ! 91 a ticket...... what a scam, far back and behind the goal..... but it'll be fun to go there

Could be a cool game to be at if Schnieder starts for the Devils, which he is almost certain to.

Where did you come to Vancouver from?

Ah, cool. I came here just over 2 years ago. What part of the Lower Mainland are you in? We just moved to the North Shore from south-east Vancouver and I am already itching to get back to East Van.

At least you're going against traffic.

We're in Lower Lonsdale in North Van. We moved from Vancouver because I got a job on the North Shore and didn't want to deal with the horrendous bridge traffic.

It is okay here, but it's so incredibly white, middle-class, and boring. I much prefer East Van.

Burnaby is okay in some areas, I just got back from dinner on Hastings and I love running around Deer and Burnaby lakes. I used to work by SFU when I was with the Red Cross.

Boston should be quite solid this team, pretty excited and believe that they have everything necessary to make another superb year and who knows, perhaps pull the great honors in the end.

I'm going to bump this thread #1 because I'm following hockey closer again and #2 I'm preparing myself to start playing again......yeah AGAIN. Born and raised in the South and I played growing up and will hopefully get back on the ice soon.

I've been reminiscing with one of my friends who was on my team back in the day about all our favorite players, the GOLDEN ERA of the NHL (1980's up to the strikes for the most part), and of course the games we played in growing up.

I'm not certain that guys like Crosby or Ovechkin would be stars back in the day just because the league has changed so much. Yeah you have oversized goalie pads and no calls against 2 line passes, but back in the day there were some greasy quick players and their acceleration was so amazing. Bure and Federov alone were just magical on the ice.
