Unbelievable how fast this summer has gone. Seems like only 3 months ago since we were getting snowed on. Wait, it was only 3 months ago :D. GO SHARKS!

So, if the Caps have the best regular-season record once again, will they make it to the second round of the playoffs before getting blown out, or will that happen sooner? :mad:

Having grown up in L.A., I'm actually a Kings fan, from way back when they wore yellow.

Sad, sad, sad.

Lol Ditto. Like the old saying, "I went to the fights the other night and a hockey game broke out."

The Caps, well, all I can say is, I'm a Sharks fan so I can't really say anything there :p
The Kings should be really fun to watch this year with their new aquisitions.

I think hockey is mostly lost on us Southern folks ... look how successful the Atlanta Thrashers experiment turned out!

It is nice to see football again, though. Roll Tide!!!

Hockey? Isn't that a bit like cricket?

Yea, that was a fiasco but it's done pretty well in Tampa. That team is loaded with talent and now with Yzerman as GM I bet they get another cup in the next 10 years.

Lol, kinda. Except for the part where nobody knows the rules and all the stopping and starting. :)

This is hockey!

I'm glad there are a few hockey fans here too! Even my wife, who is English and doesn't particularly care for sports is an avid hockey fan now. She will watch games even if I'm not here :). We make it an annual big deal to make the drive to San Jose to see the Sharks. Hoping to see Sharks v. Wings (Pavel Datsyuk is an amazing player) this year.

Amen! Especially now that they have Scotty Nichol playing for them this season. I love watching that guy play. Pure heart.

Grrrrr! Sometimes I just don't get professional sports. Most of the guys on the ice are millionaires, and I know they really are great at what they do, but after the last couple Sharks games, I swear sometimes they just don't give a ****. I do know that I am wrong, but I also get very intense about watching hockey and it's frustrating. OK, I'm through ranting. Anyone else enjoying the 11/12 hockey season so far?

Grrrr! is right! Caps fired Boudreau? Why - because he benched a few whining slackers for ... slacking?! Ovechkin is MINUS 7. Semin is only concerned with Semin. Green forgets he's a defenseman.

Well, now we'll see if the problem was the coach or the players.

Grrrr!

We've been out of the loop, hockey-wise for some time, but things are starting to whip up again. People in hockey shirts everywhere.

:D

I'm only a bystander fan of hockey. Playoffs and the like.
