Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Since there is a NFL football thread, I decided to make a hockey thread. Also, do you like the new NHL? What's your favourite hockey team? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Avs fan through and through. Have been since they came to Colorado. I'm really not a big fan of the new rules, mainly the new penalties. It's too hard for defenseman to play defense. And these overly high scoring games don't set well with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Pfff, you stole our Nordiques Being a montrealer, it is unavoidable that I'm a Montreal Canadiens fan. You have to be if you live in this town. Or we unleash a lynch mob on you. Defensemen will adapt eventually to the new rules. The game is faster and more enjoyable. Personally, the high scoring doesn't bother me. It's a nice break from soccer where there's little scoring. The anti-goalie rules however, I don't like them. It gets really tough for goalies to do anything, especially sicne they can't pick up the puck in the corners any more. Some call it the anti-Brodeur rule since he's the best at doing that and now can't anymore. The best additions are shoot-outs. During soccer competitions, shoot-outs are wonderfully stressing. Your heart is pounding very fast. It's the same for shoot-outs in the NHL. They're simply awesome to watch. However, they should increase the number of tries from 3 to 5. 3 just seems too low.

Prime Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I grew up an Oilers fan as I was born in Edmonton, but now that I am in Ottawa my wife and I tend to follow the Senators more. Besides, they are stacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 I like the Edmonton Oilers...since I was born there and I currently live here. I also like the Ottawa Senators and the Colorado Avalanche. Prime: Do you still like the Oilers? There not as good, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 The Senators is the worst name for a professional sports team ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 The Senators is the worst name for a professional sports team ever. Why do you say that? Ottawa is the capital of Canada, which means the Senate is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Why do you say that? Ottawa is the capital of Canada, which means the Senate is there. Yeah, but it makes a reference to a useless institution in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clone L68362 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Red Wings FTW. And it's not cause they're the best team. Here's to Jiri Fisher (wonder if I spelled that right) gettin better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Racer Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 My favorite team use to be the Blackhawks, but now that more of the players I really liked on that team play in the Flyers now, Philly is now my favorite team. If the owner isn't out to with the Stanley Cup like the Blackhawks' owner, then what the point? Also got to root for the Kings since they have my favorite player, Jeromie Reonick.

The Doctor Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 The Senators is the worst name for a professional sports team ever. No, that would be the Leafs. Bad Grammar. I swear a 5 year old named the team. I'm with Hallucination. I don't really watch Hockey. I really only like Football (the real one) and Cricket (just like my namesake).

Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well, if the Leafs name is so bad. What about the Sharks or the Kings. But, it's the Maple Leafs, which is much differnet than the leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinkle Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 i'm from philadelphia, so i'm a de facto flyers fan. hockey is by far my favorite sport. however, lacking the patience to watch television, i rarely see games unless i'm at the bar drinking and the game happens to be on. the only team i dislike are the devils, mostly because i loathed jacques lemaire [sp] for a REALLY long time and still have absolutely no respect for him as a coach or a person (i will point out that this is a very, very, very rare sentiment for me to express. any hockey coach who INSTRUCTS his players to hip check does not deserve any modicum of positive regard, imo...not to mentioning benching martin brodeur when his whole family came out to a game to see him play. not that i mind the recent anti-brodeur rules of course ) i'm still severely disappointed that the nordiques moved =( i can't bring myself to cheer for the avalanche, it just makes me feel dirty.

Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well, the Philadeplia Flyers have quite a stacked team. With Forsberg, and Gagne. Jusst to name a few. The one of the better teams in the NHL this season. Well, there usually one of the better teams since they were founded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's the Maple Leafs, which is much differnet than the leafs. But those teams aren't misusing grammar. In english the plural of leaf is leaves. I believe that was the point the doctor was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there usually one of the better teams since they were founded. before the league realignment, the patrick division was *the* toughest division in the nhl. at the end of a lot of seasons, the flyers would miss the playoffs with more points than some leaders in other divisions =\ i'm hoping for a good run this year. =) moeller, if you want to see some seriously f-ed up team names, start checking out minor league baseball.

Commander Obi-Wan Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 So, the season has progressed. Do you like it so far? Suprised by some teams? I think the season has gone well so far. Though, I am suprised my Oilers traded for Dwayne Roloson and not somebody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
