i love 'em anyway!

ya know, back when Roy was goalie, i got to meet him, he was pretty cool - went to a HABS game as well, was a pretty awesome time..

anyway, back on track, go HABS go!

Been a Stars fan for years.. With the recent Detroit Signing of my fave player Mike Modano, Im a lil torn now...

Love the game, and if Mike can win a cup before he retires well tha would be awesome!

Now to go and buy my new #90 Detroit Red Wings Jersey

Interesting to see how things change. Now the Habs are #1 for the League while the Leafs have dropped to #10. Still a lot of games to play before we get to the playoffs..

EnderD_503 · 11-11-2010, 04:57 PM

And now the Leafs have dropped even lower...weird, weird season

Weird? I thought it was business as usual.

EnderD_503 · 11-12-2010, 09:10 PM

Hardy har har

Well, in their defense they haven't opened a season so...erm..."well" since like 2000... So I guess the winning part was the weird part

Yeah, yeah, I know I should have known better than to get my hopes up lol

Go Leafs Go! It's all about the hometown team, kids - win or lose.

Boston Bruins advance to the Stanley Cup Finals

Dare to Believe

Can we beat the Canucks?

Simple answer? Nope, you cannot

With the entire nation behind them and naming them Canada's team, the Canucks cannot lose now. This country will probably explode if the Canucks win. And they definitely have the skill to do it. They just need to be sure not to choke like they did in the first series against the Black Hawks. But it is comforting to know that even then they beat last years champs, despite two disaster games.

GO CANUCKS GO!

We have a tradition here in the states where the governors of states where teams are fighting for a champoinship bet their team will win and offer something representative of their state as the prize for the winner.

Feel up for the challenge?

Of course I did my homework before extending the challenge LOL.

Of course, none of those stats mean anything when they still kick your ass!

LMAO. So true.

I am a die hard, used to disappointment Boston sports fan. We talk big,
sometimes, with our fingers crossed behind our backs cuz we remember things like the ball going thru Buckners legs to cost us a World Series.

So maybe it would be wiser to just hope for a well played series between 2 evenly matched teams who both fought hard to get to the finals?

Linus · 05-28-2011, 12:23 PM

That I will agree with. I'm really hoping for a seven game series as that's more enjoyable and suspenseful.

Are you trying to induce heart attacks nation-wide?

I had to look those up....just to make sure you weren't pulling my leg.
Those are kind of cool. Never saw one before.

I can offer you nothing that cool that I can think of. How does salt water taffy grab you? Or a tee shirt? Or a hat?

We can get Salt Water Taffy from New Brunswick. Has to be something unique to Boston. Do they have any of the old time Boston Bruin hockey hats?

Old time Bruin hockey hats....as in baseball caps or Banff knit winter caps?

Yup.

But I can always find something unique from Vancouver to send you via the internet.

Maybe something from the Olympics? (hat, mitts or something)
