I'm not a hockey fan. Then again I'm not a big fan of most sports anyway.

dquan97,

Aha! You a netminder too?

We are an odd breed, but these "forwards", "d-men" and assorted riff-raff just don't understand us. :)

Hockey is my favorite professional sport. I went to 5 Devils games this year, and I'll be watching as many playoff games as I can. I just get sick of watching the Devils/Flyers series on Comcast, because all they do is piss and moan and whine about how the Devils get away with anything, but the Flyers keep getting penalties. Brodeur gets run into and takes a few shots at the guy, and they're crying about no penalty on Brodeur, Esche gets run into and takes a few shots at the guy, and they're crying about no goaltender interference. Cry me a river.

You think you can stop the other team on your own ? ;) Your d-men (and the goalposts) are your best friends.

3.5 hours till game time... it's been too long.

I'm a goalie as well... few pics of my teams

The saran wrap I use on the goalposts help a lot with keeping the top corners covered ;)

The d-men are good just to get the screening forwards out of my face

And to box out or tie up so they can't get to any juicy rebounds. See skaters are good for something. ;)

EDIT>>> Wow you guys get nice trophies... all we get are t-shirts and hats if we win.

The trophy stays in the arena...each team members name is on a plate, which gets affixed on the trophy. No free t-shirts or hats for us :(

oh, we have a skills competition every quarter or so...winner gets a sweater from the pro shop

Wait...you mean there are other sports??! ;)

IMO, hockey is the only sport worth watching. I have been a Boston Bruins fan for years, watch and I also have been a season ticket holder to the local AHL team, the Manchester Monarchs (LA Kings). Up here in the NE, specifically New England, hockey is big.

If all that isn't enough hockey for me, I can watch some of the best college hockey around with local hockey east teams like BU, BC, UNH, and Maine.

Go Bruins!!!

:D:beer::D

<--Watching Philly vs NJ now... :D

Man my car would be pelted in 2 seconds flat if I had a Caps flag on my car on Long Island. Anyone remember Hunter-Turgeon ? ;)
