The official hockey thread

[sing blue silver]

Anyone else ready for hockey season?!? It's a known fact that the Blackhawks gutted the team, but I still think they are better than Detroit. Should be another entertaining season.

i've been ready since last season. RED WINGS FTW!!! i'm thinking we'll see some good hockey this year. chicago and san jose are (yet again) two of the biggest teams i'll be watching.

hawks can't even win a game.

Nashville won last night...way to start this season. Can't wait to watch them against the Hawks again!

[bright lights, big city]

christ, the hawks are looking absolutely terrible this year. they can't even win at home. 2 of their home losses have been to Edmonton, who've won 5 road games in all of 2 seasons.

yeah they're really dropping the ball on this season. a lot of the big teams from last year are really going to hell. pittsburgh, san jose, calgary. at least my beloved red wings are consistent as ever.

damn you

Effin ell! Went to the Preds/Blackhawks game Saturday, and wore a BLACKHAWKS hoodie (even though I'm from Nashville),and they lost in a shoot out!  I was pretty bummed.

i thought you were such a huge Preds fan too!

[devilinside]

Like I've told everyone,I'm a Preds fan when they aren't playing Chicago. (unless of course its the playoffs) It's like having to choose your favorite kid!

NICE. I forget how long hockey season is. Thank god there's still over half a season left because the Hawks aren't even in the top 8 in the East yet.

[Crazylegs]

avalanche are kicking ass though. And like half their team is out with injury. Watch out!

[Corleone]

Yeah but if you check the points standings, only 5 points separate 5th place and 12th.

wish it was the same in the eastern conference

My Pens are looking amazing.  Has anyone watched that 24/7 Pens/ Caps special on HBO?  Its fucking sick. 

[4th Eye]

Here's the first episode of 24/7...yet to watch the rest...

That 24/7 made it look like Fairy Tale vs. Nightmare, Pens were all happy happy and Caps were more resembling the current Devils, though there's only one point separating the teams now...Overally though, nice program, well done and entertaining. Gotta watch the other episodes.

i STILL am seriously thinking the Blackhawks aren't even making the playoffs this year. I bought into their re-building because they kept their core team, but jesus they look awful at times this year. I miss Ladd and Byfuglien.

world juniors, canada had an epic fail moment. giving up a 3 goal lead to lose to russia who scored 5 unanswered goals in the third. wtf canada?

Can't win them all... just most of them. At least we got our revenge on the Americans.
