Hockey Thread

Figured since Hockey season is just around the corner I'd start a thread about it. Post up your teams and any discussion.

To start, I went last night to a Sushi roll contest for the Anaheim Ducks at RA sushi. got a little taste of Hockey fever again. here are some pics..

Can't get enough of it! This is year #2 for us as full season ticket holders, but we have been going since 2003. :)

We have some pics from training camp yesterday. I don't feel like resizing them right now, but it was an awesome day of hockey. We basically got to see 3 NHL quality games (games were two 20 minute periods with continuous clocks and 1:00 penalties) for free while standing on the glass at the practice facility.

First pre-season game is 09/21/2010. I can't wait!!!

yep preseason opener is on 9/21 next week for everyone. We're up against the Coyotes. I cant wait. we're going back today for day 2 of training camp. :D

Funny thing. I got NHL11 for my PS3 and played the Memorial Cup so I could be entered in the draft. Who drafted me? The Anaheim Ducks. This is the second time I have ended up on the Ducks roster. If you haven't tried it, NHL11 is an amazing game.

My team has a couple of those too. :)

Pic is a little old (missing one) and I don't have any personal pics of the rafters, but you get the idea...

This year I won't be able to go to both Wings games in Phoenix, as I'm sharing one trip with the GF to let her go see the Penguins (how could ANYONE like that that anyways???). I suppose it's not so bad, though. Each game I've gone to has had as many or more Wings fans than Coyotes fans in their arena. :)

I've been skating since I was 2... playing hockey up until I was 13... now I don't have cable and I haven't been able to follow the NHL for over 2 years now:(

My extent of watching hockey only extends to the Mighty Ducks movies. Although, i have been to a few Roadrunner and Coyotes games. It has just never been that interesting to me.

I don't have cable either, and I get more games than I cable would ever have provided. I have a thread in the member's area that has more info. I refuse to go without hockey. :)
